Soil Conservation & Testing in Eastern Uttar Pradesh

Challenge:
Farmers lacked knowledge of soil health, leading to overuse of chemical fertilizers, reduced crop yields, and long-term land degradation.

Opsis Intervention:
 • Conducted soil testing and workshops for farmers.
 • Educated about organic fertilization, crop rotation, and sustainable land practices.
 • Supported small-scale organic farming demonstrations.

Outcome:
 • 1,200+ farmers benefited from soil testing and advisory services.
 • Improved crop yields by 20–25% in pilot farms.
 • Enhanced adoption of low-input and sustainable farming techniques.

Participant Voice:
“I learned about my soil’s deficiencies and now use organic methods. My crops are healthier and profits better than before.”
