Agro Rangers

Helping small and marginal farmers improve their farmlands through agroforestry.

Why We Do What We Do

The numbers tell it all: 15 farmers commit suicide every day.

This fact becomes even more disappointing when we realize that in rural India, approximately 900 million people depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. And it becomes even more concerning when we consider the negative impact of climate change has accelerated soil erosion, leading to widespread soil degradation with an increase in input costs for chemicals and pesticides. Within a few short years, farmers find themselves heavily in debt, facing reduced incomes, thereby creating a vicious circle of insurmountable challenges.

Agro Rangers to the Rescue

Agro Rangers is a non-profit organization registered under the 1860 Society Registration Act with a mission to promote the adoption of regenerative and sustainable organic farming practices within India’s agricultural sector. Agro Rangers supports farmers to shift from chemical farming to sustainable organic farming through regenerative agroforestry models. We shift the mindset of farmers from chemical farming to regenerative organic farming by educating them and creating awareness.

Our Impact Plan

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, there is a pressing need for comprehensive and sustainable interventions to break the cycle of generational poverty, ensuring the well-being of India’s rural population and the resilience of its agricultural sector in the face of climate change.

Located in the drought-prone region of Pune district, Maharashtra, India, Agro Rangers focuses on revitalizing farmlands belonging to marginal and small landholder farmers through regenerative agroforestry techniques.

Agroforestry

Over the last five years, Agro Rangers has developed the multi cropping fruit tree based agroforestry model that serves to enhance economic resilience for farmers while simultaneously improving soil quality.

Testimonials

Find Out Why People Love Agro Rangers

"To combat this global warming problem, the best approach is to cultivate as many trees as possible. Therefore, I connected with the Agro Rangers team, who assisted me with fruit saplings, drip irrigation, and valuable lessons. This not only helps in fighting climate change but also provides us with a fixed income. I have planted 2 acres of land and we are planning for 3 acres of land this year."

Jalandhar Chemaji Mavle

Farmer from Lakhewadi, Malton, Pune
"We used to cultivate traditional crops such as bajra and tur, but the labor cost was very high, as also the cost of weedicide. Consequently, we connected with the Agro Rangers, through which we gained information about the importance of fruit crops. We transitioned to fully organic farming, which not only reduced labor costs but also minimized weedicide expenses. We received assistance with fruit crop saplings, drip irrigation, and timely training. Additionally, we generated additional income through moringa trees planted among the fruit crops."

Surekha Pandurang Pawase

Farmer from Dhamari
"Initially, we cultivated crops like onions, where the cost of cultivation and chemical fertilizers was very high. Subsequently, we connected with the agro rangers team, who assisted us with mango and lemon fruit crops, along with organic fertilizers. This led to an increase in the carbon content and nutrient levels of the soil. Therefore, I recommend to other farmers that in order to maintain soil health and ensure a fixed income, we should implement the agroforestry model."

Pravin Kapre

Farmer from Dhamari
"In our region, the main challenge is drought, where rainfall is very scarce. This summer, the conditions are very harsh, but thanks to the Agro Rangers team we are able to fight the climatic heat. They assisted in nurturing fruit trees based on our soil's characteristics, influenced by soil testing reports, they have also given bio-fertilizers and training. We have embraced new technological pieces of machinery like drip irrigation instead of relying solely on traditional methods."
