Organic farming is the modern way to cultivate extensive produce, without harming the fertility of soil. This modern method can help farmers save a lot on fertilizers and pesticides and help them get export quality produce, thereby increasing their income.
It is with this vision that Kamnath has launched the Sardar Farm Project, an initiative to help the livelihoods of farming communities in and around the Narmada area, by teaching them modern methods of farming. By creating awareness about organic farming, teaching the various techniques to locals, Kamnath aims to create a self-sustaining ecosystem, where both growers & consumers can benefit from 100% natural produce.

Along with farming, the project team also helps farmers build cottage industries called haats that operate by utilizing the materials grown on the farms. From packaged chips to handicrafts, the cottage industry is to help the community not engaged in farming to create an alternative livelihood through the farming endeavor thereby creating a holistic & self-sustaining ecosystem of revenue for the region.
The project team works with the community to establish a tourism ecosystem, wherein they can host events, farm walkthroughts, shopping extravaganzas and other activities around the year to attract not just buyers, but also tourists to bring much needed revenue and progress to the region.
