FOLU India Sustainable Rainfed Agriculture Project aims to develop three state-level strategy action plans for the states of Andhra Pradesh in the southeast, Telangana in the south, and Maharashtra in the west, to promote large-scale adoption of sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices in the rainfed areas of the state. The programme takes a bottom-up approach by aiming to motivate farmers to shift to sustainable practices, thereby transforming village level units into model landscapes of agricultural production.
Also learn about our state and district level efforts with a top-down approach – Madhya Pradesh Sustainable Agriculture Project: Synergizing Policies and Actions (MPSAP-SPA)
