Chhattisgarh is one of the richest biodiverse states of the country and is known as the rice bowl of central India, for cultivating paddy as its principal crop. As most of the farmers here practice monocropping, their livelihoods are restricted to a single source of income. To support rural farmers of Chhattisgarh, the SankalpTaru Foundation launched its project, Project Hariyar Chhattisgarh to bring relief to the farming community of the state by promoting agroforestry together with multi-cropping. The fruit-bearing trees will help the farmers to become economic resilient and encourage sustainable agriculture.
