In a significant shift towards sustainable agriculture, hundreds of farmers in Godda district have experienced positive transformations in their lives by embracing organic farming practices. Located in the vicinity of the Adani Power Plant, villages including Gangta, Nayabad, Buxara, Petvi, Gumma, and Kauri Bahiyar have seen a surge in the adoption of organic methods.

Many farmers, such as Badri and Karishma from Gumma, attest to the benefits of transitioning from chemical fertilizers to vermicompost. The duo, after receiving training from Adani Foundation, reported improved crop yield and enhanced soil fertility. This shift has not only increased their productivity but also emphasized the long-term sustainability of their farming practices.

Maran Kisku of Nayabad village shared a similar experience, highlighting the adverse effects of chemical fertilizers on crop quality. After Adani Foundation's training in vermicompost production, Maran noticed improved crop quality and a decline in pest infestations, showcasing the resilience of organic farming methods.

Adani Foundation has been instrumental in promoting organic farming in over 10 villages of Godda district. Their program provides farmers with essential training in vermicompost preparation, coupled with insights into the advantages and disadvantages of organic farming. The foundation's efforts contribute to empowering farmers with knowledge and skills to transition towards more sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural practices.

One notable outcome of this shift is the evident increase in the income of Godda farmers practicing organic farming. These farmers are obtaining favorable prices in the market for their produce, coupled with reduced farming costs. Adani Foundation officials emphasize their continuous commitment to promoting organic farming by educating farmers and providing ongoing training.

The benefits of organic farming are multifaceted, with improvements observed in soil fertility, crop quality, pest management, reduced farming costs, increased farmer income, and a positive impact on the environment. This shift towards sustainable agriculture not only ensures economic prosperity for the farmers but also contributes to the broader goal of environmental conservation.

The success stories emerging from Godda district underscore the pivotal role of organizations like Adani Foundation in driving positive change through education and support, ultimately steering agriculture towards a more sustainable and profitable future.
