Earlier, I used chemical fertilizers because I didn't know any other way. Through this training, I learned to prepare compost and natural pesticides using local materials. My input costs have come down, and the soil is healthier. It feels good to farm in a way that's better for my family and land.

Many farmers were unsure at first. But once they saw results-healthier crops, fewer expenses-they became more confident. This initiative is practical and rooted in the realities of village life. It builds skills, awareness, and ownership. Watching the community take charge of its own land has been the most rewarding part.
