After 40 years of abandonment, villagers in Assolna, Goa, have revived nearly one lakh square meters of agricultural land through community farming.
The initiative, led by the Assolna Xetkarancho Ekvott, combines CSR-backed fencing and mechanized farming to overcome challenges like stray cattle and labor shortages.

Impact & Risks

The revival of farming in Assolna could serve as a model for other villages facing similar challenges. The initiative has the potential to boost local food production and economic activity. However, the long-term success will depend on sustained community participation and the effectiveness of mechanized farming techniques.
