From Barren to Bountiful
Ramawati Devi's farmland in Nalanda had been losing topsoil to erosion for years. Her yields had dropped by nearly 40% and she feared she would have to abandon the land her family had farmed for generations. When our soil conservation team arrived in her village, they implemented contour bunding and planted deep-rooted native trees along the field margins. Within one season, the erosion stopped. 'My land is alive again,' says Ramawati. 'I never thought I would see so many crops grow here again.' Today her farm produces enough to feed her family and sell at the local market.
