By Vikram Patil | January 18, 2025

Farmers in Maharashtra are increasingly adopting sustainable farming techniques, driven by concerns about climate change and the long-term health of their land. These practices include water conservation, organic fertilization, and crop diversification. By reducing their reliance on chemical inputs and promoting biodiversity, farmers are improving soil health, increasing yields, and mitigating the impacts of drought. Government initiatives and NGO support are playing a vital role in educating farmers and providing access to resources. This shift towards sustainable agriculture promises to enhance food security, improve livelihoods, and create a more resilient rural economy in Maharashtra.
