Water Management
The six clusters are irrigated from the Krishna river. Farmers maintain moisture levels in the farm through mulching and conserve water usage.
Infrastructure
The Provincial government has provided good infrastructure and most areas are well-connected by neatly laid roads and trains. Because of its proximity to the financial capital of India, Mumbai, there is proper connectivity. The agricultural department of the province is proactive and scientists and specialists provide ample support to the farmers.
Environment
The farmer group practices orthodox farming techniques. They use green fertilizer and reduce their water consumption through water calibration and drip irrigation.
The farmers feel that reduction in chemical usage through Fairtrade standards has improved the environment and is good for the farmers and their soil as well.
