The Struggle of Landless and Small Farmers:
In the rural heartlands of India, millions of landless and small-scale farmers are trapped in a relentless cycle of poverty. These farmers, who form the backbone of India’s agricultural workforce, often rely on low-paying, unstable daily wage labor to survive. With an annual income ranging from ₹40,000 to ₹60,000, landless laborers can barely cover their basic needs. Meanwhile, small-scale farmers owning less than 2 bighas of land typically earn a meager ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 per bigha through traditional farming. These earnings are insufficient to sustain their families, forcing many into crippling debt and despair.
The Current Situation:
In regions like Meerut, Shamli, Muzaffarnagar, Baghpat, and nearby areas, the situation is dire. Over-reliance on outdated farming techniques, coupled with the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, has led to soil degradation and declining crop yields. This has also resulted in the food we consume today being filled with harmful chemicals, compromising our health and well-being. The younger generation, disillusioned by the lack of opportunities, is abandoning the fields for unstable urban jobs. This exodus leaves landless farmers stuck in low-income, high-risk labor, while small-scale farmers struggle to sustain their livelihoods.
Our Innovative Solution:
At Firgun Social Initiatives Foundation, we believe in the power of innovation to transform lives. We are introducing a low-cost hydroponic system specifically designed for landless and small farmers. This system, structured in a vertical pyramid, enables farmers to grow high-value vegetables in small spaces like backyards or terraces. With minimal land requirements, this system can generate an additional monthly income of ₹3,000 or more per farmer, offering a significant boost to their financial stability. Importantly, it also ensures the cultivation of healthy, nutritious, and organic food, free from harmful chemicals, thereby preserving the well-being of our future generations.
Why This Solution is Perfect:
Our hydroponic system is the ideal solution for these farmers because it is:
