Har Khet Hariyali works with 1,600 families in Pali and Jalore on 8,200 acres to shift back to bajra, jowar and moth — crops the market forgot but the desert remembers. We provide millet seed banks, on-farm compost training and a buy-back at MSP+10% through the Sangathan's aggregation centre.
Soil organic carbon in pilot plots has moved from 0.32% to 0.58% in three years, and water use per quintal has fallen by a third. The annual Kisan Mela draws over 2,000 farmers to share seed, not slides.
Field toolkit
- Community seed banks — 42 local millet varieties conserved
