Soil Rejuvenation: A Strategic Shift Toward Sustainable Agriculture

The Soil Rejuvenation Program is more than just an initiative; it’s a critical response to one of the most pressing challenges of our time -soil degradation. For decades, the pursuit of food security and economic progress has led to the overuse of synthetic fertilizers and chemicals. While these inputs initially boosted yields, they’ve come at a steep cost: depleted soils, reduced biodiversity, and long-term ecological harm. Now, the consequences are catching up with us, manifesting in environmental and agricultural challenges that threaten the very foundation of our food systems.

As the limitations of conventional farming practices become increasingly apparent, farmers are turning to bio inputs as a viable alternative. But let’s be clear: bio inputs are not a quick fix.
