About [Edit]
The underlying philosophy of GREEN Foundation(GF) has been to accept traditional knowledge with its technical, social, and spiritual dimensions to encourage endogenous development within the community.
GREEN Foundation has now been working over a decade in close participation with the local community and individual farmers to Conserve Biodiversity and Improve Food Security. From a starting point which concentrated on the identification and conservation of traditional seed varieties of millets and paddy which were fast disappearing from the local farms, GF activities have progressed to reviving traditional storage and exchange of seeds through Community Seed Banks, to the revival of traditional agricultural methods reintroduced in conjunction with modern organic techniques. It has encouraged the creation of Kitchen Gardens, the one-acre integrated farming practice and Community Farming for landless and marginal farmers. It has also promoted Integrated Agroforestry and Livestock Management to meet the communities' needs for fodder and fuel and to Reduce Dependence on External Inputs.
