We’re thrilled to launch our eco-friendly farming program, designed to empower grassroots communities in sustainable agriculture. We have begun training individuals to serve as trainers in the local production of organic fertilizer. This initiative includes establishing demonstration plots where we’ll plant crops, allowing the trainers to appreciate the effectiveness of the organic fertilizer firsthand before they start training others. By utilizing locally sourced materials, we’re not only restoring soil fertility and enhancing water retention but also making a conscious choice to move away from chemical fertilizers, which can be harmful to the environment. In contrast, our organic fertilizer will help protect natural ecosystems and restore degraded farmland, promoting healthier soils and ecosystems for our nation. https://unicotmw.org/ PROTECT! PRESERVE! PROSPER!

As the sugarcane harvest season draws near, farmers are hard at work, ensuring a smooth and productive process.🌱🚜 During a recent field visit, we observed a farmer manually removing leaves from sugarcane stalks—a simple yet impactful technique that offers multiple benefits: ✅ It speeds up the hand-cutting process, making harvesting more efficient. ✅ The removed leaves decompose naturally in the field, enriching the soil with organic fertilizer for future crops. ✅ This sustainable approach reduces the reliance on synthetic fertilizers, fostering healthier ecosystems and lowering farming costs. Fresh sugarcane harvest also comes with economic perks. Unlike burnt sugarcane, it has a higher C.C.S. (Commercial Cane Sugar) value, which directly translates to better prices and profitability for farmers. By adopting these sustainable practices, farmers are not just keeping up—they’re finding new ways to improve, innovate, and make a real difference in agriculture. 🌿 #SustainableFarming #Thailand #RegenerativeAgriculture #FieldVisit

🌱 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 🌱 At 𝐏𝐀𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭, we’re dedicated to promoting #sustainable farming and supporting our #farmers in their journey towards organic cultivation. Recently, we conducted a series of workshops that introduced our #farmers to natural alternatives for #chemical-based pesticides and weedicides, providing them with the knowledge and tools to create their own organic inputs. Here’s a glimpse of our efforts: 1. 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐈𝐧𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐬: We organized hands-on sessions on creating 𝑱𝒆𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒎𝒓𝒊𝒕 and 𝑩𝒆𝒆𝒋𝒂𝒎𝒓𝒊𝒕, powerful #natural fertilizers that enrich soil health and boost plant immunity. #Farmers learned about their preparation and application, helping them move towards healthier, chemical-free crops. 2. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐜𝐨-𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠: By teaching farmers to produce their own #organic solutions, we aim to reduce dependence on synthetic chemicals, encouraging #sustainable practices that protect our soil, water, and overall ecosystem. 3. 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐩 𝐘𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲: The use of 𝑱𝒆𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒎𝒓𝒊𝒕 and 𝑩𝒆𝒆𝒋𝒂𝒎𝒓𝒊𝒕 not only nourishes #crops but also improves yields, supporting farmers' livelihoods while promoting a balanced agricultural #environment. 4. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐔𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: These workshops empower farmers to be self-sufficient, equipping them with the skills needed to cultivate #crops that are healthier for both #consumers and the environment. Together, we’re building a future that respects nature and strengthens our farming communities! 🌍 #SustainableFarming #OrganicAgriculture #CommunityEmpowerment #PAHADTrust Revitalising Rainfed Agriculture Network

It’s throwback Thursday, we're excited to reflect on our vegetable farming project, where we utilized Black Soldier Fly (BSF) frass as a natural, organic fertilizer. The use of Frass did not only nourished our crops but also promoted healthy soil, contributing to higher yields and improved sustainability. It is nutrient-rich, and packed with essential elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, making it perfect for thriving vegetable growth. Also, it is eco-friendly, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic fertilizers and significantly reducing environmental impact. Additionally, it promotes soil health by encouraging beneficial microorganisms that improve soil structure and fertility. We’re proud to be part of the movement toward organic, sustainable agriculture, proving that nature’s solutions are often the most effective. #ThrowbackThursday #OrganicFarming #BSFFrass #SustainableAgriculture #HealthySoil #GreenFarming #Entojutu

🌱 The Vital Role of Cows in Sustainable Agriculture 🐄 In today’s world, where the focus is shifting towards eco-friendly and sustainable farming, the role of cows in agriculture has never been more important. Beyond providing milk, cows contribute significantly to the creation of natural fertilizers that are revolutionizing farming practices. Cow dung and cow urine, often considered waste, are invaluable resources for developing organic products like natural fertilizers and bio-enhancers. These products not only enrich the soil with essential nutrients but also enhance microbial activity, leading to healthier crops and increased yields. What makes these natural fertilizers so powerful? 🌿 Improved Soil Health: Cow-based fertilizers help restore the soil’s natural fertility, allowing crops to thrive without the need for synthetic chemicals. 🌾 Cost-Effective: They significantly reduce the cost of cultivation for farmers by replacing expensive chemical fertilizers and pesticides. 🌎 Eco-Friendly: These products are 100% organic, reducing the carbon footprint and preventing soil degradation. By using cow dung and urine, we are not only improving crop productivity but also embracing sustainable farming that benefits both the farmers and the environment. Let’s recognize the humble cow as a key player in transforming agriculture. Together, we can promote greener, more sustainable farming practices that support healthier soils and more prosperous farmers. #SustainableFarming #NaturalFertilizers #EcoFriendlyAgriculture #CowBasedFarming #OrganicFarming #FarmerSuccess

#Sustainability #Organic #Cotton Organic cotton is grown from non-GMO seeds and without the use of peticides, insecticides, or fertilizer. Unlike conventional cotton, organic farmers use ancestral farming methods, including crop rotation, mixed farming, or no-till farming to preserve the soil. It has same quality with traditional cotton but doesn’t have negative impact for environment. Organic cotton solve the environmental challenge of traditional cotton production faces.

Sustainable practices such as reducing fertilizer use, adopting no-till farming techniques, and optimizing ginning processes can significantly reduce the cotton industry's carbon footprint. Our energy use metric evaluates all energy expended throughout the entire production cycle of a single crop within a given year, encompassing activities from pre-planting to post-harvest. Trust Protocol growers reported a 27% reduction in energy consumption during the 2022/23 cotton growing season compared to the 2015 baseline. Read our third annual report below to learn more. https://lnkd.in/gJpbRakt #trustuscotton #sustainablecotton #sustainbleag
