Rooting for the future

Sustainable prosperity of farming communities

AT A GLANCE

JSW Foundation closely works with 6000+ farmers covering 5,800 acres of cultivable land through participatory approach striving to align to local, national and global goals (Sustainable Development Goals) while aiming to increase farm and off-farm incomes.

This is achieved through capacity building of the farmers, promoting an improved package of practices, advocating less water-intensive farming techniques and forging strategic partnerships. The emphasis is on the market-led sustainable enhancement of profits to make agri-livelihoods a preferred mode of occupation.
