Precision Agriculture in Action
At Agrifields Foundation, we believe real change begins on the ground. Our Precision Agriculture Demonstration Project shows farmers how smart practices, stage-wise nutrition, and sustainable methods can boost yields, improve quality, and reduce costs — all while protecting health and the environment.
The project is being implemented on 7 acres of leased farmland, developed as a model farm that balances productivity, affordability, quality and consumer safety.
This approach aims to reduce chemical dependency, protect consumer health, and help farmers achieve better price realization through quality and trust.

Health & Hope
Across Villages
Over four days, our health camps reached Adraspalle, Jaganguda, and Kesavaram — offering check-ups, women’s health awareness, and on-the-spot blood tests to support community well-being. We are aiming and working towards an Atmanirbhar Kisan—a self-reliant farmer for a stronger India.
Hundreds of villagers participated, including women working in the fields, elders, and youth.

Health, Hope & Community —
Keshavaram Health Camp
Over the past 4 days, Agrifields Foundation conducted a free health check-up camp in Keshavaram village, bringing essential medical support to the heart of the community.
Hundreds of villagers participated, including women working in the fields, elders, and youth.
We offered free screening for blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight.
Our team identified several cases of high sugar levels and thyroid concerns, and provided on-the-spot advice and referrals.
We met Rahima Begum (30) with a sugar level of 588 and ensured she got immediate care.
The response from the community was overwhelming—villagers felt seen, heard, and supported.

Health Camp — The First Step
As a first step toward holistic village transformation, we prioritized health. A door-to-door campaign was conducted over three days, where trained nurses and CultivaTec staff visited every household in Ponnala. During this outreach, we conducted basic health screenings, including blood pressure and blood sugar testing, while also documenting each family’s farming and economic challenges.
This was followed by a health camp set up at the Zilla Parishad Primary School on a Sunday. Despite the day being a holiday, the response was strong — with over 180 villagers, mostly elderly, attending for a full check-up by medical professionals.
Conclusion:
The Ponnala health camp marks the beginning of a larger effort to address the multi-dimensional challenges faced by India’s rural farming communities. With a structured approach toward health, agricultural inputs, expert advisory, and output linkage, this initiative aims to not only raise farm productivity but also improve the overall quality of life in the village.
This pilot model will be expanded to more villages in the coming months, as we work to build a rural India that is healthier, more self-sufficient, and better connected to mainstream economic opportunities.

Ponnala —
Village Transformation Initiative
24 - 27 April 2025
Ponnala is a small agricultural village located in Shamirpet Mandal near Hyderabad. Known for cultivating fruits and vegetables that feed Hyderabad’s urban population, the village is predominantly composed of small and marginal farmers owning 2–3 acres of land. Farming is a family effort here — men work as farm labourers or drivers, while women contribute through tailoring or running small-scale vegetable businesses.
CultivaTec, an agritech company, is committed to making agriculture profitable and sustainable for India’s rural communities. Our aim is to provide farmers with affordable access to quality agri-inputs, expert advisory, modern services like precision farming, and efficient output market linkage.
Agrifields Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation focused on improving the overall well-being of rural agricultural households. The foundation works to bridge the gaps in health, income, and access to basic services in farming communities.
Together, CultivaTec and Agrifields Foundation have launched a joint initiative to transform villages like Ponnala through an integrated rural development model.
This project includes:
Access to basic health services through screenings and
medical camps.
Continuous farm advisory by experts and digital tools.
Supply of quality agri-inputs at reduced prices.
Support for output aggregation and market linkage.

Empowering Rural India
Agrifields Foundation and CultivaTec have partnered to drive technological, educational, and financial transformation in rural agriculture. This initiative addresses key challenges farmers face, equipping them with tools for higher productivity, sustainability, and economic security.
This partnership goes beyond providing resources—it empowers farmers to take control of their future. By combining Agrifields Foundation’s grassroots reach with CultivaTec’s technological expertise, we are building a self-sustaining agricultural ecosystem driven by knowledge and innovation.
Building a Sustainable Future
Through these initiatives, Agrifields Foundation is transforming rural communities by fostering innovation, sustainability, and economic resilience. Our goal is to create a future where farming is not just a livelihood, but a path to lasting prosperity.
Why are farmers distressed?
Rising costs of labour are pushing up the costs of cultivation, further restricting profit margins for farmers. Profitability is highly volatile for Indian farmers.
The Cycle of Debt
Farmers in India are plagued with multiple distortions that make the farming business volatile and unviable. The production cycles make it impossible for farmers not to be indebted, and the income instability makes it difficult for them to come out of a cycle of debt.
