Agroecological Care Foundation

Our foundation is based in Mandva, which is part of the Kaprada Taluka. If you are driving along the Nashik Road, specifically SH 898, you will find us at number 332. It is a rural area with a lot of greenery around, which is perfect for what we do. We call ourselves the Agroecological Care Foundation because we care about the land and the way people grow things. We are not a big charity with lots of money. Instead, we are just a group of people trying to help local farmers understand better ways to take care of their soil. We spend a lot of time outside, walking through the fields or meeting people in the village. The office in Mandva is quite simple. It is mostly a place to store our tools and some books. Sometimes we hold small meetings under the trees when the weather is nice. Being in Kaprada means we are a bit far from the big cities, so we have to be quite independent. If something breaks, we usually have to fix it ourselves. We do not have a big staff, just a few of us who live nearby and believe in keeping the environment healthy. We do not have fancy brochures. Most people just know us because they see us out working or they hear about us from a neighbor. It is a quiet life, but there is always plenty of work to do with the changing seasons.
