His story is one of persistence, sacrifice, and foresight.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"color: #004752; font-weight: bold;\">Saving abroad, returning to his roots<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ravi was born into a poor family that owned 2 acres of land. Farming was part of daily life, but it was never easy. He studied up to the 8th standard in Basavani before leaving for Solapur, Maharashtra, where he learned cushioning work for sofas and furniture.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For eight years, he worked in Solapur, earning a steady income but living far from his parents and siblings. Eventually, he returned to his village to get married\u2014but with only 2 acres, agriculture alone could not support his growing family. Determined to both provide and continue farming, Ravi made a difficult choice. He went to the Middle East to work as a cushioner, spending seven years abroad. The work was demanding, but his goal was clear: save enough to buy more land back home.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When he finally returned to India, he used his savings to purchase an additional 2 acres, bringing his total holding to 4 acres. He could have moved to Mumbai to earn more in his trade. Instead, he chose to stay in his village\u2014with his parents, siblings, and their families\u2014and pursue agriculture full time.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now, Ravi\u2019s days start early. He tends to his 2 cows and 8 buffaloes, making sure the shed is clean and the animals are fed. He grows paddy and arecanut and keeps a close eye on his crops, checking moisture in the soil, scouting for pests and diseases, and carrying out whatever work the season demands. In the evenings, he comes home to his joint family.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"color: #004752; font-weight: bold;\">Choosing regeneration over shortcuts<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Like many farmers in his region, Ravi once relied on chemical fertilizers. Over time, he began to see the toll on his soil: the structure was breaking down, compaction was increasing, and the land felt \u201ctired.\u201d Through Boomitra\u2019s local implementation partners, he was introduced to regenerative practices that prioritize long-term soil health over short-term yield spikes. He now consistently applies organic manure, minimizes tillage, mulches with crop residue, and plants cover crops.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Season by season, the difference became obvious. The soil grew lighter and held moisture more effectively. His crops stayed greener and healthier for longer. Earthworms returned in large numbers, and the reduction in compaction made it easier for roots to spread and access water and nutrients. <\/span>Ravi has a simple test to judge soil quality: darker soil is more fertile; soft, crumbly structure means the soil is alive and healthy.<\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Today, his farm is known locally for being exceptionally well maintained, and fellow farmers often remark on how clean and healthy his fields look.\u00a0Since adopting regenerative practices, <span style=\"font-weight: 500; color: #004752;\"><strong>his yields have risen by 8-10% <\/strong><\/span>depending on the year. By cutting out chemical inputs entirely, <span style=\"font-weight: 500; color: #004752;\"><strong>he now saves at least 15,000 INR each year<\/strong><\/span> (about 167 USD). Some still advise him to use inorganic fertilizers to push yields even higher. Ravi listens, but he doesn\u2019t bend. His yields are stable and competitive\u2014on par with, or better than, many farmers around him, and for Ravi, that is enough.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; color: #87c45e; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 20px;\">&#8220;I do not want unsustainable yields. I want to save my soil\u00a0for\u00a0the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Around his fields, wildlife is a constant presence: wild bison, Red Malabar squirrels, rabbits, peacocks, mongooses, foxes, and wild hens are often seen near the farm. For Ravi, these animals are a reminder that his land is part of a wider living ecosystem.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"color: #004752; font-weight: bold;\">Soil carbon as a climate solution<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ravi\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0speak about carbon credits or tons of CO\u2082. What he talks about is soil, food, and family.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe have to eat what we grow,\u201d he says. For him, that means food grown on healthy land without harmful chemicals.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But the regenerative practices he follows do more than sustain his family with safe, nutritious food. They also store more carbon in the soil, pulling it from the atmosphere and locking it into living systems. Between 2021 and 2024, <span style=\"font-weight: 500; color: #004752;\"><strong>Ravi stored an additional 2.38 tonnes of CO<sub>2<\/sub>e in his soil<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Through Boomitra\u2019s URVARA project, farmers like Ravi are supported in adopting carbon-sequestering practices at scale. Their improved soil management generates verified soil carbon credits, creating an additional income stream while delivering measurable, lasting climate benefits. The same decisions that bring more earthworms into Ravi\u2019s fields also help stabilize the climate for communities far beyond his village.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By building\u00a0his soil organic\u00a0carbon\u00a0levels, Ravi\u2019s fields hold more water during dry spells and drain better during heavy rains. Stronger, healthier plants are more resilient to pest attacks. Regenerative agriculture has become his frontline response to a changing climate.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"color: #004752; font-weight: bold;\">Farming for joy and for the future<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When asked what makes him happiest in agriculture, Ravi doesn\u2019t hesitate: growing and especially harvesting crops brings him immense joy and fulfillment.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Looking ahead, his plans are grounded. He wants to keep farming for the rest of his life. He hopes to diversify by planting coconut trees along the borders of his fields and intercropping with cashew\u2014both to increase income and to keep the land covered, protected, and productive.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">When neighboring farmers ask for his advice, Ravi is straightforward. He tells them to start with organic manure because it is the foundation of everything else; to focus on regenerative practices that build soil, not just yields; to remember that their responsibility is to save soil for future generations; and to eat what you grow.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Through the way he stewards his land, Ravi is feeding his family and community, quietly helping cushion the world from climate risk, and inspiring his neighbors to do the same.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/boomitra.com\/es\/projects\/urvara-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The URVARA project<\/a><\/span>\u2014named after the Sanskrit word for \u201cfertile\u201d and short for\u00a0<em>Unlocking Resilience through Vital Agricultural Regeneration and Adaptation<\/em>\u2014is Boomitra\u2019s flagship smallholder initiative in India.
