Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainable agriculture is all about use of environment friendly methods of farming that allow the production of crops or livestock without causing damage to human or natural systems.
Eco-Lusion advocates for smart agricultural practices that use methods aimed at responding to the effects of climate change on agriculture.
We sensitize and create awareness that educate the community on practices that increase agricultural productivity and to ensure food security for a growing population.Through such efforts we aim to target reductions in greenhouse emissions from agriculture as much as possible.
We engage with the community through the following initiatives:
1. Biodiversity Conservation:
In this program area, we focus on protecting and promoting biodiversity on agricultural land. We do this by promoting practices such as using diverse crop varieties. Biodiversity is essential for a healthy and resilient agricultural and sustainable ecosystem.
2. Water Conservation and Management:
This program area focuses on using water more efficiently in agriculture. We do this through the promotion of practices such as drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and planting of drought-tolerant variety.
3. Kitchen Gardening/Organic Farming:
We are keen in ensuring the adoption of organic farming and kitchen gardening in the community and schools as a way of improving food security and enhancing sustainable food systems.
4. Agro-forestry:
Under this program area, we promote environmental, economic and social benefits of the land through promotion of Agro-forestry to improve food security and enhance environmental well-being.
