Since agriculture is the main source of income for the rural farmers of Tamil Nadu, every year the state’s farmers suffer crippling debts due to severe crop loss caused by an acute shortage of water during non-monsoon seasons. The situation becomes grave when farmers get trapped in debt for not repaying loans on time. By planting fruit-bearing trees under Project Pasumai, you will help uplift the livelihoods of the farmers by introducing agroforestry to their traditional way of farming.

Project Green Leh Ladakh is a mission to support farmers through agroforestry which started with supporting a couple of farmer beneficiaries a few years ago and then slowly turned into a revolution of creating 'Apple Villages' across the region. The fruit-bearing trees that you will plant for the farmers will help this mission of 'Apple Villages' reach a wider scale going forward.

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.

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.

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.

Himachal has tremendous potential for the cultivation of many highly valued agricultural produce. However the lack of high-quality saplings, inaccessibility to agricultural infrastructure, scattered land holdings, and transportation difficulty unable the rural farmers from making optimum profits for their livelihood. By planting high-quality saplings of fruit-bearing trees for the local farmers under Project Harit Himachal, you will help them earn higher returns for their living.

The dry weather conditions of Andhra Pradesh attract very less annual rainfall, leading to prolonged droughts. This causes a huge agrarian crisis and extreme despair for farming communities of the state. Looking at the huge environmental value of agroforestry which also provides diversified income to farmers of Andhra Pradesh, SankalpTaru introduced Project Green Deccan. By planting fruit-bearing trees under the project, you will help to strengthen the livelihoods of the rural farmers and the biodiversity of the state.

Large-scale deforestation and its unpredictable weather have led to increased barren lands posing a threat to food security. In pursuit of reviving the fertile soils and rejuvenating the land with greenery, SankalpTaru is actively planting varied fruit-bearing and native plant species on the lands of small and marginal farmers of Bihar. By planting fruit-bearing trees under Project Harit Bihar, you will help us support rural livelihoods, tackle changes in the natural environment, and assist sustainable farming.

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.
