Women Leading the Way Towards Food Sovereignty in Kerala. #APCNF ECRP team continues to inspire families to grow their own nutritious food. Shamitha was motivated to utilize her 5 cents of land for a kitchen garden, and the area has been cleaned and prepared for bed making. In Sophia's farm, okra, beans, amaranthus, pumpkin, and ridge gourd were sown amidst the banana plantation, while practical training on Dhrava Jeevamrutham preparation was also provided. Sarojini enthusiastically started her kitchen garden with beans, okra, ridge gourd, and bitter gourd after preparing beds near her home. At Ammani's ATM (Any Time Money) Model, a customized #NaturalFarming model designed for small landholdings of 20–30 cents to ensure year round production of diverse, nutrition rich foods, new beds were developed and fresh seeds and seedlings were planted. These small yet transformative actions are strengthening household nutrition, enhancing self-reliance, promoting natural farming practices, and empowering women to become custodians of resilient local food systems. @vijaythallam @AndhraPradeshCM @ap_agriculture @rajbudithi65 @icarindia @AgriGoI #ATMModel #FoodSovereignty #WomenEmpowerment #NutritionSecurity #SustainableAgriculture

“Preparing Bio inputs on our own fields has increased our confidence and reduced our dependence on external inputs,”— Farmer Klemen M. Lariang Under the aegis of the National Resource Organisation (NRO), and on behalf of #APCNF, a Nutri Garden was established in the field of Farmer Klemen M. Lariang, while an #ATMModel was grounded in the field of Farmer Dlesdiba Thongni at Kyrdum Village, Mawshynrut Block, West Khasi Hills (WKH) District. The intervention involved systematic land preparation and sowing of multiple vegetable crops in adherence to #NaturalFarming protocols. Seeds and seedlings were treated with Beejamrutham, and Ghana Jeevamrutham was applied to enhance soil biological activity and crop resilience. Additionally, 50 kg of Ghana Jeevamrutham was prepared on-site by lead farmer Sinolin Thongni, strengthening farmer-led capacity in the preparation and use of natural bio-inputs. This initiative underscores #APCNF’s commitment, through the National Resource Organisation, to promoting sustainable, low-cost, and ecologically resilient farming systems by enabling farmers to adopt self-reliant, locally driven Natural Farming practices. @vijaythallam @ap_agriculture @AndhraPradeshCM @rajbudithi65 #SustainableAgriculture #EcologicalFarming #SoilHealth #LowCostFarming #ClimateResilientAgriculture #FarmerEmpowerment

As part of the National Resource Organisation (#NRO) initiatives being implemented across Telangana under the Telangana #NaturalFarming Seeding programme, an #ATMModel has been newly established in Sukenapally village, Nalgonda district, on 0.15 cents of land belonging to Sri Bunga Venkanna, who was inspired and motivated by a Natural Farming awareness meeting conducted by #APCNF . The land was prepared using Ghana Jeevamrutham, developed with four-foot beds and one-foot channels, and sown after Beejamrutham seed treatment with a diverse mix of crops including radish, carrot, fenugreek, spinach, amaranthus, sorrel leaves, coriander, okra, cluster beans, pole beans, brinjal, tomato, chilli, marigold, bitter gourd, ridge gourd, bottle gourd, and ash gourd, and sharing his experience, the farmer said, “I have just established the ATM Model on my land, I am hopeful that this diversity will soon ensure food security for my family, improve our health, and provide a sustainable income in the coming days.” @vijaythallam @ap_agriculture @AndhraPradeshCM @rajbudithi65 #SoilHealth #CropDiversity #ChemicalFreeFarming #HealthyFood #FarmerLivelihoods #CommunityFarming #RegenerativeAgriculture #FarmersOfTelangana

Building a Sustainable Farming Future! As part of the Bio Resource Center Owners’ Training Programme (19–22 Aug), @APZBNF is empowering farmers with hands-on knowledge on making local inputs #NaturalFarming. A total of 209 participants from six districts actively engaged in the programme. At Gummalakshmipuram in Parvathipuram Manyam District, participants explored ATM & A-Grade models and observed live demonstrations of natural bio inputs such as Dasaparni Kashayam, Agnastra, Brahmastra, and Egg Amino Acid. These practices are not only enhancing soil health and pest management but also strengthening farmer confidence and driving Andhra Pradesh towards a resilient, chemical-free agriculture future. @vijaythallam, @rajbudithi65, @AndhraPradeshCM, @ap_agriculture #BioResourceCenter #AgroEcology #SoilHealth #OrganicSolutions #FarmerEmpowerment #ChemicalFreeFarming #ATMModel #AGradeModel #FarmersOfAP

“Bridging theory and practice through on-field learning.” As part of the 3-day #NaturalFarming Orientation for VAAs & VHAs, @APZBNF–Rythu Sadhikara Samstha conducted an on-farm exposure at Gajapathinagaram, Vizianagaram, where participants explored ATM & A Grade fields, studied Soil Health & 365 DGC, engaged in participatory Bio-Inputs preparation, and experienced NF technologies first-hand — making it a day of translating knowledge into action. Our philosophy is to build a strong grassroots training ecosystem, led by experienced natural farming practitioners and local institutions, ensuring continuous capacity building through field-based learning and farmer-to-farmer knowledge sharing. @vijaythallam, @ap_agriculture, @rajbudithi65, @AndhraPradeshCM #OnFieldLearning #BioInputs #ATMModel #AGradeModel #365DGC #FarmerEmpowerment #ClimateResilientAgriculture
