Since its inception, SakRock has been dedicated to inspiring farmers to transition from conventional agricultural methods to sustainable, organic, and natural practices. Our on-the-ground personnel play a crucial role in consistently guiding and supporting member farmers through this transformative process, leading to several significant impacts:
Farmers partnering with SakRock report a noticeable improvement in soil quality, characterized by increased porosity and higher yields. This improvement is attributed to the incorporation of more organic and natural inputs into the soil.
With our inputs and support, farmers are gaining better awareness of managing their farmland's nutrition. Instead of burning or discarding crop residue, they now reintegrate most organic and natural waste back into the farm ecosystem.
There has been a substantial reduction in water required by crops during the season, with an average documented reduction of up to 25%. This reduction is attributed to enhanced soil porosity and increased water retention capacity. In the past, the use of chemical fertilizers led to the hardening of the topsoil, resulting in lower absorption and significant runoff losses in irrigation. The impact of the soil's improved water retention capacity becomes particularly noticeable in years with scarce rainfall.
SakRock's commitment to sustainable, organic, and natural farming extends beyond the fields, shaping a future where agriculture is not just a practice but a harmonious interaction with nature, benefitting both the environment and the communities we serve.
