Promoting Nature-Positive Production Systems
ABOUT US
UPDATES
We are a Section-8 non-profit support organisation promoting Nature-Positive Farming and Food Systems (N+FFS) at scale across India. We believe that to meet the formidable challenge of producing adequate quantities of safe nutritious foods in a sustainable manner and to address the pervasive agrarian crisis, environmental crisis and rising incidence of malnutrition, it is crucial to mainstream nature-positive agricultural development and food system approaches which deliver on livelihoods enhancement and nutrition.
We build on the mandate of the NPM (Non- Pesticidal Management of agriculture) Network to promote pesticide-free sustainable agriculture and food systems. We collaborate with 25 organisations comprising NGOs, FPOs and market players in Central, Southern and Eastern India.
N+3F collaborates with BRLF to promote Non-Pesticide Management (NPM) based practices NPM-based practices will be promoted across BRLF's intervention areas for improving the market readiness of smallholder farmers engaged in NPM-based agriculture.
Collaborating towards success! N+3f partners unite at the HMI Hyderabad Partner Meet, forging new connections and strengthening existing ones for a brighter future of Nature Positive Farming.

Designing and disseminating the illustrated version of the internal NPM Standards: The internal NPM standards are the protocols to be followed by NPM farmers that help them maintain the integrity of NPM produce by ensuring that no contamination occurs during production, harvest and storage. The manual (in Hindi) contains illustrations so farmers may understand the protocols and processes better.

Film on Nature Positive Farming Protocol
The short film ‘Nature-Positive Farming- An holistic alternative’ produced by NPM Network and N+3F depicts the harmful effects of conventional agricultural practices including the detrimental effects of the excessive use of synthetic pesticides and emphasizes the need for shifting to nature-positive farming. It shares in detail the preventive, planned, and reactive strategies to be followed at different stages of the crop to improve soil health, crop diversity, and crop health and to get optimum yields. It elucidates the livelihoods, health, and environment related benefits of nature-positive farming and stresses the need for collective action.
