We not only hear from the farmers about their challenges but also realized that they do not know how the synthetic inputs they were using affected the soil, water, air and animals. Farmers have only learnt how to grow food conventionally, but are not given alternatives. Farmers should know that they have options and have the power to choose to grow food ecologically or choose some practices to incorporate in their work. No matter what they chose to do with the information, they should be empowered in knowing they had options and are not trapped!

Seeing this gap in knowledge and information, MahaOrganic plans to start short term courses for sustainable farming aimed at providing skilled human resource to the industry. The course will be a one year diploma and will be based on principles of organic farming with a scientific approach.
Currently we educate producers, consumers, media, institutions and governments about the benefits of organic and sustainable agriculture, presenting at conferences, workshops, classes in schools & colleges and other educational opportunities.
