EARTH Trust founded by a team of social activists under the leadership of Mr Dharma Neethi as an environment development organization registered unde Read morer the Indian Trust Act in the year 2020. EARTH Trust is the outcome of Mr. Dharma Neethi’s longtime dream with an experience gained by running the well-established Women’s Emancipation and Development Trust . He was fully involved in running this Trust to achieve appreciable success in the empowerment of poor women of our area. Though fully happy with the projects and their achievements, he felt some gap in fulfilling his aim of the overall development of the area - the downtrodden one of Madurai District. He arrived the gap being Health and Environment development projects. Coming from a traditional farming family and much involved in the same, he gained reasonably good knowledge in Integrated Farming, Farmer Producer Organization and Export business.

Agriculture
Our aim is to advance agriculture towards integrated, multi-crop farming practices that are organic in nature, relying on cattle populations instead of chemical fertilizers and tractors. To facilitate this transition, we plan to establish Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) to provide training, networking opportunities, and access to government welfare schemes. Additionally, we aim to promote the production of value-added agricultural products to make farming a profitable business venture. To realize this vision, we have outlined the following projects:
* Training farmers in the preparation of organic fertilizers and pesticides.
* Organizing Farmer Producer Organizations.
* Promoting integrated food systems and multi-crop cultivation.
* Establishing nursery gardens to encourage the growth of fruit and timber trees.
* Constructing check dams and desilting water bodies to enhance groundwater levels.
Promoting the use of renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, and cow dung.
