A member of Find Your Feet's team took this photo in Chhattisgarh, where we are working with 25,000 people from adivasi and other traditionally marginalised communities from 60 villages.
Find Your Feets supports people in rural communities to build sustainable livelihoods. This includes training farmers in affordable, sustainable farming practices such as composting, organic pest control, irrigation and soil conservation techniques that improve harvests while rebuilding the soil for future generations.
The farmers we work with need crops bred for resilience rather than just yield. Through developing a diversified crop mix with multiple traits including drought tolerance, insect and disease resistance, storage suitability and taste, farmers’ needs and their ingenuity can be combined in sustainable systems that treat agriculture as a biological process that works within ecological limits.
