AGROECOLOGY: FARMING FOR PEOPLE, PLANET AND FUTURE


 

In a world facing climate change, soil degradation, and food insecurity, Agroecology offers a powerful and practical solution. But what is agroecology, and why does it matter?


🌱 What is Agroecology?

Agroecology is an approach to farming that works with nature—not against it. It combines ecological principles with traditional knowledge to create sustainable, resilient, and fair food systems.

At Mrittika Harvest, we practice and promote agroecology to help rebuild soil, protect biodiversity, and support small farmers.


🌾 Key Principles of Agroecology

✅ Biodiversity: Intercropping, mixed farming, agroforestry, and native plants

✅ Healthy Soil: Composting, mulching, natural fertilizers, minimal tillage

✅ Water Conservation: Rainwater harvesting, drip irrigation, and moisture retention

✅ Local Knowledge: Valuing traditional practices and farmer innovation

✅ Fairness: Empowering smallholders and promoting local food markets

✅ Climate Resilience: Systems designed to withstand drought, pests, and floods


💚 Why It Matters

Agroecology is not just a farming method. It’s a movement to create food systems that:

✅Restore nature 🌍

✅Feed communities 🥕

✅Protect future generations 👶

✅Respect farmers' voices 👩‍🌾


📢 Join the Agroecology Movement!

At Mrittika Harvest, we believe the future of food lies in ecological farming, community empowerment, and sustainable practices.
