Project HARVEST Aims to Help 35,000 Maize Farmers in India Adopt Climate-Resilient Methods
Published
A new three-year farming initiative called Project HARVEST has been launched in India to help maize farmers deal with the effects of climate change. The project is a partnership between GIZ, the German development agency, PepsiCo India, and Bayer. It focuses on regenerative agriculture, a set of farming methods that aim to keep soil healthy and improve its long-term productivity.
The project plans to reach 35,000 maize farmers across the country. Maize is an important crop in India, used for food, animal feed, and industrial products. By supporting farmers with new techniques, the partners hope to help them grow crops more reliably when weather conditions become unpredictable. Regenerative methods often include improving soil quality, using resources more efficiently, and reducing the stress that farming places on the land.
The initiative is designed to run for three years, which gives the partners time to measure results and share practical lessons with farmers. Although the available information does not give full details about every activity, the project shows how businesses, development organisations, and agricultural companies are working together to make farming more resilient. For Indian farmers, the programme may offer new knowledge and support as they adapt to a changing climate.
