Vetri Multicrop Natural Farming and Training Centre grew from a 2-acre plot into a model for sustainable agriculture — training farmers and sharing seed banks across seven countries.
In 2012, V. Vetrichelvan shifted his 2-acre farm from conventional chemical methods to natural farming — inspired by Subhash Palekar and G. Nammazhvar — to protect soil, water and future generations.
Diverse crops grown together to build soil health, resist pests naturally, and spread income across the year.
Modern irrigation, rainhouse trainers and mulching models that conserve water and build climate resilience.
Hands-on training programs and seed banks that have carried these methods to farmers in seven countries.
"Low-cost, sustainable farming methods don't just benefit the environment — they yield positive economic returns too."
— V. Vetrichelvan, FounderHeld in Puducherry, Farm Fest 2025 recognised Vetrichelvan's work in soil health, biodiversity and water efficiency — validating over a decade of hands-on natural farming practice.
