Forest Litter Replaces Chemical Fertiliser in Arghakhanchi

Farmers in an Arghakhanchi village are now using compost derived from fallen leaves as a substitute for chemical fertilizers. This innovative approach, driven by community forest users, is significantly reducing agricultural expenses for local farmers. The initiative also contributes to job creation within the community and helps mitigate the risk of forest fires by managing leaf litter.

This sustainable practice offers an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to conventional farming inputs, benefiting both local economies and ecosystems.
