Agriculture

Agriculture is the practice of cultivating crops and raising livestock to produce food, raw materials, and other essential resources. It is a primary source of livelihood for a large portion of the population, especially in rural areas, and plays a vital role in ensuring food security and economic stability.
From an NGO perspective, agriculture is a key area of development aimed at improving the livelihoods of farmers, particularly small and marginal farmers who often face challenges such as lack of resources, poor irrigation, low productivity, and limited access to markets. NGOs work to promote sustainable and climate-resilient farming practices that protect the environment while increasing productivity.
They provide training and awareness on modern agricultural techniques, organic farming, soil health management, water conservation, and efficient use of fertilizers and seeds. NGOs also support farmers by facilitating access to quality inputs, financial services, and government schemes.
