Pro-Poor Development Forum

For Farmers, With Farmers

At Pro-Poor Development Forum (PPDF), we are dedicated to transforming India's agricultural landscape through sustainable, inclusive, and eco-friendly practices. Since 2010, we have been championing the cause of small and marginalized farmers by promoting organic and natural farming techniques that nurture the land, enrich biodiversity, and secure farmer livelihoods.

Our Purpose

To build a sustainable and inclusive future where every small and marginalized farmer in India can thrive with dignity, ecological harmony, and economic independence. We envision an agricultural ecosystem rooted in resilience, equity, and environmental stewardship.

Our purpose goes beyond improving yields it is about restoring balance between people and nature, reviving traditional knowledge, and fostering self-reliant rural communities. We believe that when farmers are empowered with the right tools, training, and access to fair markets, they become stewards of both the land and their own futures. Through this, we aim to cultivate not just crops, but lasting change.

Our Promise

At Pro-Poor Development Forum, our promise is to create a future where small and marginalized farmers are not only supported but truly empowered. We are dedicated to promoting farming practices that honor the environment, restore soil health, and preserve biodiversity. Through hands-on training, inclusive education, and community-driven initiatives, we equip farmers with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive sustainably. We work to build strong, fair market linkages that ensure farmers receive the value they deserve for their produce. By integrating natural farming, agroecological innovations, and beekeeping into rural livelihoods, we promise to nurture a resilient, just, and regenerative agricultural ecosystem for today and for generations to come.

Cultivating Change

At Pro-Poor Development Forum, we believe real change begins at the grassroots with the hands that till the soil and the communities that depend on it. Our work is dedicated to transforming the agricultural system into one that values sustainability, fairness, and human dignity. We are building a future where farming is not a struggle, but a source of pride, resilience, and prosperity. By blending traditional knowledge with sustainable innovations, we strive to restore balance between nature and livelihoods, ensuring every farmer has the opportunity to grow, thrive, and lead.

Rooted in Resilience

Resilience is at the heart of everything we do. In a world of shifting climates and economic challenges, Pro-Poor Development Forum stands with small and marginalized farmers to build strength from the ground up. We promote regenerative practices that heal the land, empower communities, and secure lasting livelihoods. Our initiatives are rooted in the understanding that when farmers are equipped with knowledge, access, and support, they become powerful agents of environmental and social transformation. Together, we are planting the seeds of a more just and sustainable agricultural future.

We exist to challenge systems that leave rural communities behind and to build pathways toward a farming model that is ecological, inclusive, and rooted in local strength. Every initiative we lead is born from this belief: that farming can be both a dignified livelihood and a force for environmental regeneration.
