Awareness to farmers on organic food

By Dr.Vincent Paul B | Director

Dear Donor !

Greetings from CHHASE India !

Your support enable us to give awareness to farmers to adopt healthy organic methods to cultivate and make value added products to earn more. .With our regular programs, they are now know well about organic cultivation farming and earning.

With your support, we have brought awareness to cultivate Drumstick to 250 farmers and how to market it in different ways. We support small farmers to plant Moringa tree for both health and wealth.

Practical Education & Incentives

Transitioning to organic farming often involves an initial yield decline, making financial and technical support critical.

Demonstration Farms: Establishing "live labs" where farmers can see hands-on techniques for preparing bio-fertilizers, composting, and natural pest control proves effectiveness better than theory alone. We took our farmer groups to government demonstration farms to teach them how they adopt better ways.
"Agri-groups": Utilizing local community leaders or successful organic farmers to mentor others builds trust. One successful intervention saw 200 families switch to organic methods through a single "agri-friend".
Financial Aid Programs: We brought awareness about PKVY where India govt, provide up to 31,000/ha over three years to help farmers cover input costs during the transition.
Workshops & Seminars: Regular training sessions on advanced technical practices, such as biological pest control and specialized crop rotations, bridge the gap between basic concepts and successful implementation.
Building Trust & Demand

Consumer demand drives the market, but awareness of certification and benefits is often a bottleneck.

Direct Farm-to-Table Models: Connecting urban consumers directly with farmers via weekly organic fairs or e-commerce platforms reduces information asymmetry and builds long-term trust.
Educational Campaigns: Using slogans like "Think Before You Eat" or "Grow Green, Live Healthy" in pamphlets and posters helps highlight health benefits, such as produce being free from synthetic residues.
Digital Branding & Labeling: Promoting recognizable logos, such as India’s Jaivik Bharat, ensures authenticity and helps consumers make informed choices.
Organic Kitchen Gardens: Encouraging small-scale organic gardening at home or in schools provides a low-risk entry point for families and students to learn about soil health and biodiversity.
Youth Engagement: Highlighting agriculture as an innovative, technology-driven career (e.g., using drip irrigation and precision organic techniques) helps attract younger generations.
Visual Media: Using earthy-toned posters, info graphics, and short-form videos to explain the "interdependence with nature" story makes the environmental benefits tangible.

These materials offer insights into promoting organic farming, from educational lessons to poster design for wider outreach.

PLANS FOR THE NEXT QUARTER

We Propagate 1500 moringa tree seedlings.
Continue training farmers on moringa management
Sourcing and processing moringa powder and oil

Your support brings light to lives of the farmers. Each dollar you donate will help them to raise more moringa trees and help them to start value added products to increase their inome.

For $ 100 you can help a farmer to plant more moringa plants.

We are creating maximum of awareness to farmers, general public about organic products. With your support, we are able to reach more people. Yet we may need more time to spread word about the benefits of organic food.

CHHASE thanking all our monthly recurring donors. Such donations are our strength and it is pushing our projects to success.
We would love to hear your feedback, comments & Suggestion on our program.

Dear Donor !

Greetings from CHHASE India !

Your support enable us to give awareness to farmers to adopt healthy organic methods to cultivate and raise moringa .With our regular programs, they are now know well about organic cultivation farming and earning.

We are glad to share that farmers are created awareness to grow moringa trees for powder, oil and value added products . Both Moringa leave powder and oil are consumed for nutrition and sold for income thus supporting our farmers health and wealth CHHASE propagates Moringa tree in mega tree nursery with other tree species for biodiversity and when it rains we issue the tree seedlings to the farmers to plant in their individual farms. Our staff train and follow them up to make sure the trees are planted and managed well. Its worthy noting that moringa leaves and oil are super food due to its rich nutrients. The oil is also becoming popular even in our local markets due to its great skin care properties. A part from the health and economic benefits, moringa also serves a big role on the environmental benefits like soil building from the falling leaves and also creation of microclimate especially in the drylands.

Below are details of the future activities in future.

TRAINING AND FOLLOW UPS

Initially Our staff are mainly in training farmers on moringa tree management and hole preparations for planting more moringa trees. We like to train, 1200 farmers and followup by our staff on moringa tree planting and management.They were also trained on moringa leaves harvesting, sorting, cleaning and under shade drying for better product.

TREE NURSERY

Our staff in charge will start tree nursery, and will be involved in watering, weeding, manuring, pest control, propagation and potting. Over 5000 moringa seedlings will be raised in the nursery during the next six months period.

We will train :-

Drying of moringa leaves and seeds when its cold is a challenge experienced during this period
Young and tender moringa leaves were minimally attacked by o caterpillars
There is slow market for moringa oil but slowly is growing

PLANS FOR THE NEXT QUARTER

Propagate more moringa tree seedlings.
