Agro Rangers

Agro Rangers is a Pune-based nonprofit, launched in December 2019 after finding organic carbon levels below 0.5% in local farmland soil, that works with small and marginal farmers in the drought-prone Pune district. It helps farmers shift from chemical to regenerative organic farming through a multi-cropping, fruit-tree-based agroforestry model, combining farmer training and market linkages to improve soil health and income resilience.

Agro Rangers reports the following, on its own site:

• 1,200+ farmers trained and 40,000+ saplings planted through agroforestry programs across Maharashtra
