We are a forum of farmers in Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal, working since 2009 to conserve and multiply native paddy and other indigenous seeds through natural cultivation.

Our mission

1. To bring back the traditional farming system
2. Preserve the thousands of lost or endangered seed varieties
3. Popularize organic farming and non-toxic food to many people
4. Above all, bring back a sustainable agricultural system as an alternative to green-revolution management: farmers use indigenous seed diversity and farming knowledge to build a non-toxic life, keep the land fertile, protect the family's nutrition and health, and build a healthy rural economy.

We have been deeply involved in the conservation and organic farming of indigenous seed diversity in West Bengal for over a decade, encouraging thousands of farmers to adopt organic farming and arranging market linkages for their produce.

At a time when petrochemical-dependent farming is engulfing the whole agro-ecosystem, we work to popularise traditional agricultural knowledge and techniques among farmers in a new format.

Our mission is to bring back the traditional farming system, preserve the thousands of indigenous seed varieties, popularize organic farming and empower farmers and rural livelihoods.
