Community Farming
- Farm lands for experimenting your ideas on sustainability and
eco-living, in a lab setup. A cluster of farm lands with all basic
amenities addressed - Irrigation, Manure, Power, Shelter & more... |
Climate change, hunger and poverty, loss of
biodiversity, forest destruction, water crises, food safety – what all
these threats have in common is that a principal cause for each of them
is in the way we produce, trade, consume and discard food and other
agricultural products. We have more and more food stocked in supermarket
aisles, while one quarter of humanity go hungry.
Much of the natural resource base already in
use worldwide shows worrying signs of degradation. According to the
Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, Soil nutrient depletion, erosion,
desertification, depletion of freshwater reserves and pollution of
groundwater, overfishing, loss of biodiversity
are clear indicators of already depleted or degraded ecosystems around
the world.
In the Indian context, fragmented land
holding, limited capital investments, indiscriminate use of subsidies,
poor irrigation infrastructure are some of the factors impeding the
agricultural yield in India.
We, at Green Commune, have an intention to make a postive impact in the agricultural world and strongly believes that true inclusive growth
requires a long term vision for Agriculture.
Hence, we strive to seek business solutions for the above
problems striking the right balance between yesterday's knowledge and
tomorrow's technology. We intend to promote Natural farming practices,
leveraging knowledge based management and appropriate technologies, with
love in our hearts!

It's an opportunity to do Community
Farming together with like-minded people. The farming work is centralized! While the land is owned by the individuals, the amenities and tools (from tractors to animal husbandary) are co-owned by all and centrally managed. As one of the core objective of the project is to bring a lateral shift in the social thinking and lifestyle, YOU are responsible for cultivating your land while ample guidance and assistance is to be provided on the choice of crops, labour management, subsidies handling etc.
With the right combination of Information (past, present
& future) and Technology, we are confident of a minimum return of Rs.
60,000/- per acre/annum, starting from the first year!
Land details: <to be updated>
|
- The land is levelled and ready for cultivation
- There are options in the choice of crops (the right combination of profit bearing-nitrogen fixing-oxygen yeilding Guild).
The options would vary seasonally based on market trends and monsoon
predictions
- It'll be Natural Farming all the
way, incorporating the essentials of Permaculture.....from seed
selection to Manurial Policy to Pest, Disease & Weed Management.
- While community bore-wells are the
initial source of water, through holistic watershed management and
Drip Irrigation system, the underground water aquifers are to be
replenished over a period of time
- With
professional expertise in Natural Farming & Demand/Supply
management, the organic produce yield and returns from your farm shall be
optimized. We strive to strike the balance between yesteryear's
wisdom and current day's technical knowledge.
- The primary mode of labour will be
manual with occasional mechanical equipments (tractors, tillers etc
- With our local presence, the
security of the place is ensured; The animal husbandry
ensures herbicides and manure to your farm;
- and basic infrastructure for community storage and community living @ the farm.
Come & Indulge in Community Farming, as a
means of giving it back to Nature!
