This solution by the Lipok Social Foundation enables rural households and farmers to produce their own organic inputs using locally available resources. Through simple and low-cost methods, farmers can prepare fertilizers, compost, and pest repellents that improve soil fertility, reduce dependency on chemical inputs, and make agriculture more sustainable.

The playbook provides step-by-step guidance for making a range of inputs that are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and suited to smallholder farmers in semi-arid and rainfed regions. Already tested successfully among more than 600 farmers in Aurangabad, Amravati, and Yavatmal districts of Maharashtra, this solution strengthens both household-level self-reliance and ecological farming systems.

Lipok Social Foundation, based in Maharashtra, works with farming communities to promote sustainable agriculture and rural livelihoods. By enabling farmers to adopt low-cost, resource-efficient, and ecologically sound practices, the foundation addresses critical challenges such as high input costs, declining soil fertility, and over-dependence on chemical farming. Through practical training, field demonstrations, and community-based capacity building, Lipok Social Foundation empowers farmers to transition toward regenerative farming systems that enhance both economic security and ecological balance.
