Desertification in Rajasthan is increasing exponentially due to changes in the rainfall patterns, and the spread of sand dunes, making its agricultural lands severely fragile due to water crises and depleting groundwater tables, therefore adversely impacting crop yields of the local farming communities. By planting fruit-bearing trees under Project Green Thar, you will help purify the air, increase the groundwater level, and strengthen the livelihood of the farmers.
The residents of Uttarakhand are already experiencing the impacts of climate change, such as changing temperatures, upward-moving snowlines, receding glaciers, erratic rainfall, reduction of snow in winter, changed cropping seasons, shifting cultivation zones for certain crops, and drying up of perennial streams, as pointed out in the state government’s action plan on climate change (SAPCC). SankalpTaru introduced Project Protect Himalayas to prevent the migration of local farmers due to adverse impacts of climate change by supporting them with agroforestry. This includes planting fruit-bearing trees in their lands to help them stabilize their livelihoods along with protecting the ecosystem of the majestic Himalayas.
It has been observed in recent years that farmers are not able to secure optimal profits by traditional means of farming due to the challenges of food insecurity, destabilization, and migration, prevalent in the state. Under Project Enrich Biodiversity, farmers are encouraged to implement intercropping with agroforestry to help replenish the lost nutrients in their soil. By planting fruit-bearing trees for the farmers, you can help them to cope better with these challenges.
The majority of the farmers in Haryana have been dependent on the cultivation of paddy crops which require standing water. In the absence of rainfall, they heavily depend on the groundwater tables. This has led to the depletion of groundwater and also moisture content on which the fertility of the soil depends. The plantation activity of fruit-bearing trees under Project Haryana Haritima will help to strengthen the livelihoods of the rural farmers while also helping to recharge the groundwater level and improving the quality of the soil.
The state of Punjab is abundant with agricultural land but with the downside of monocropping and stubble burning, air pollution and groundwater depletion are becoming the major reasons of concern. With the help of native, fruit-bearing trees planted on the farmers' fields, the lands of the farmers would be able to restore the lost nutrients due to their existing crops. Also, these trees will help to hold more moisture content, rejuvenating the groundwater tables.
Agriculture is a leading occupation in Uttar Pradesh where most of the farmers practice monocropping. Due to erratic weather conditions and irregular rainfall patterns, many farmers end up being indebted as their source of earnings is sabotaged due to crop failure. To provide these marginal farmers with an additional source of income, SankalpTaru started Project Green Shivalik by planting fruit-bearing trees that has been transforming potentially cultivable lands into lush green fruit orchards and farms.
Due to climate change summers have been extremely hot in Gujarat. As the state’s weather is dry and has extreme weather conditions it becomes difficult to grow plants and crops that need moderate climate. Therefore, the plantation is one of the aspects that can be taken seriously to overcome problems like droughts, infertile soil, and low groundwater. By planting fruit-bearing trees under Project Leelu Cggam, you will help to create a positive and generous socio-environmental impact in the state.
Plant In A Single Step
Climate change is reducing the abundance of natural beauty accessible to younger generations, limiting their experiences of nature to environments that are often endangered or degraded. This "extinction of experience" deprives children of the vibrant landscapes older generations enjoyed, leaving them with fewer opportunities to appreciate and connect with nature.
This Diwali, let’s light up more than just our homes—let’s brighten our future.
