A Sustainable & Ecological Alternative

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...

The Context

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!

The Project

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!

Glimpses of Modus Operandi:

  • 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!
