Against the backdrop of rampant industrial agriculture and chemical intensive food production, Bala Vikasa is leading the campaign for food security through sustainable agricultural practices that are expressly profitable for the small farmer, the consumer, the community and the environment at large.

Bala Vikasa has devoted itself to turning the farmers away from chemical farming, a practice that is highly capital intensive and has damaging consequences on their sustenance and survival; not to forget the adverse effects it has on human health and environment. Alternatively, farmers are being encouraged to embrace organic farming in order to increase their crop yield, reduce their crop-investment and maximize their profits thereby ensuring their economic progress.

Farmers are also being appraised of the benefits of organic inputs in order to wean them away from the use of potent chemical formulations in the form of pesticides and fertilizers. The top priority of Bala Vikasa is to reduce the use of toxic substances that result in air, water and food contamination while negatively impacting soil fertility. Bala Vikasa’s efforts are markedly directed at using organic wastes and bio fertilizers thereby conserving soil and water, maintaining the ecological balance, preventing health risks and ensuring sustainability for the upcoming generations.
