Agro Rangers works with farmers to improve soil health in Maharashtra

Agro Rangers is a social organization operating in Maharashtra's Pune and Beed districts. The initiative works with small and marginal farmers to help them restore land and improve crop production through agroforestry practices. Initial soil testing on 5,000 farms showed that approximately 90% had soil organic carbon levels below 0.5%.

The organization addresses challenges faced by farmers, including poor soil quality and rising farming costs. Agroforestry, which involves growing trees alongside crops, is used to improve soil fertility and provide farmers with diversified income sources, making farms more resilient to weather changes.
