Yellow Point Farm – A Venture Towards Sustainable Greenery

A venture that would enable organic cultivation and enable students and other stakeholders to understand and learn sustainable agriculture, with least pesticides and yet more yields, so that we can contribute directly or indirectly towards healthier, sufficient, and safer food, and thus reduce hunger. This is a venture through which we are incorporating modern agricultural techniques for sustainable agriculture and reaching out to society to contribute towards various SDGs mainly 2,3,13,15 and 17.

THE WORKING CONCEPT

Yellow Point Farm works on 5 concepts – we call it the 5C Module. Through this 5C Module we have succeeded in reaching out to the masses. This module helps us in nurturing organic farming not only in the state of Punjab but across the boundaries reaching up to the remotely located states of Arunachal Pradesh & Assam. The venture is not limited to one or four crops; it has crossed all the boundaries & reached out to the producers of cereals, oilseed crops, tobacco, millets, pulses, fiber crops, forage crops, as well as sugar crops. To reach the masses, we approached progressive farmers and simultaneously hand-held the corporate world too.

5C Model

Our 5C model comprises of the following aspects –
CULTIVATION
Organic Farming of cereals, vegetables, fruits & oilseed crops, Sustainable Mushroom Production Unit, Miyawaki Forest

CORPORATE TRAINING PROGRAM & WORKSHOPS FOR STUDENTS
With Mahindra & Mahindra Group, Workshop for Students
COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP & CONTENT WRITING

COLLABORATION
Agri Tourism, Indian Institute of Wheat & Barley Research, Directorate of Mushroom Research, National Institute of Himalayan Environment, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, Department of Forest & Wildlife, Kheti Virasat Mission, National Dairy Research Institute

To show case agro based technologies at one forum we are creating a state-of-the-art display as well as training center for students at the Yellow Point Farm. The goal is a space where all techniques of Agro-technology are put to use, and students and other users can be provided practical understanding and hands-on training so that they put these learnings to practice and can disseminate and /or commercialize these technologies in the outside world.

These agro based technologies could contribute towards educating youth of nearby regions, thus helping them improve agriculture and have better yield in their land; thus, encouraging them to cultivate in our country rather than move aboard in search of greener horizons.
