SAVE THE SOIL - BHOOMI BACHAO

To address the emerging problems of soil health and crop productivity stagnation, IFFCO has initiated a "SAVE THE SOIL" program in a missionary mode. A Pilot Project titled "Soil Rejuvenation and Productivity enhancement" was started initially in 16 villages of India's Bighapur Block of district Unnao in the state of Uttar Pradesh from May 2009. Through soil rejuvenation, we intend to build farmers' capacity towards scientific agriculture to increase productivity, profitability and income for better livelihood. In the light of very encouraging results of the project during 2009-10, the project was extended to all the 117 villages of Bighapur block of district Unnao. This project is serving as a role model for breaking yield stagnation through soil rejuvenation.
