India stands on the cusp of an agricultural revolution, driven by The Art of Living's Natural Farming Project. The initiative rejuvenates traditional farming techniques to maintain ecological balance, reduce costs, and increase profitability for farmers. This approach not only ensures productivity but also nourishes the land.

Sustainable agriculture transcends food production by also focusing on healthy ecosystems, fertile soil, and thriving biodiversity. Through methodologies like crop rotation, agroforestry, and organic farming, The Art of Living safeguards today's practices for future generations. These techniques are key to combating climate change and global food security issues.

The Natural Farming Project champions a low-input, climate-resilient strategy. It encourages affordable and locally sourced materials while avoiding harmful fertilisers and pesticides. Farmers benefit from the creation of indigenous seed banks, training programs, and market access provided by the Kisaan Manch platform. Over 22 lakh farmers have already been trained, receiving ongoing support to advance their practice.
