After the main harvest, we harness the land's natural moisture to cultivate a vital second crop, ensuring food and oil for our families.
By carefully collecting and preserving seeds from our first harvest, we ensure a second, nutritious crop and maintain our traditional farming methods for generations.
We carefully save seeds from our diverse crops like chickpeas, lentils, and mustard, ensuring we can grow them again next year and maintain our livelihood.
By relying on traditional farming methods and saving our own seeds, we ensure food security and healthy crops without external inputs.
