What the Day Covers

Land, Soil and Crops

From buying land without buying trouble, to figuring out if your soil is more sandy beach or black gold — we cover it all. You’ll walk actual farm plots, touch real soil, and understand what makes land productive before you spend a rupee on it.

• How to assess land before buying or leasing
• Reading a soil test report (and what to do with it)
• Choosing the right crops for your land, water, and market
• Why variety selection matters more than most farmers realise

Timelines, Costs and Risks

A step-by-step guide with real-life numbers — no sugar-coating. Because farming isn’t fantasy. It is strategy.

• What does it actually cost to start a 1-acre organic farm?
• Month-by-month cash flow in the first two years
• When does a farm break even? When does it start earning?
• What are the most common reasons farms fail — and how to avoid them
• Transition period planning: from Day 1 to first certified harvest

Government Schemes You Are Probably Missing

There are subsidies, grants, and financial support schemes most farmers never claim — because they don’t read the fine print. We did. You’re welcome.

• PM-KISAN and state-level equivalents
• Soil Health Card scheme and how to use it
• Subsidy on drip irrigation, power tiller, and shade nets
• NABARD schemes for organic farming groups
• How to apply — and who actually gets approved

• Zero-budget natural farming (ZBNF) in practice
• Jeevamrutha, panchagavya, and bio-inputs you can make on-farm

• Water management on small farms
• Building a farm that gets better every season, not worse

Who Is This For?

Agriculture 360 is designed for people who are serious about farming but starting from zero — or close to it.

You will get the most from this program if you are:

• A working professional (IT, finance, medicine) considering a farm transition
• Someone who has inherited land and wants to use it productively
• A recent graduate exploring agriculture as a career
• A hobby gardener ready to go further
• An urban family that wants to understand where food comes from and possibly grow some of it

You do not need any farming background. The program is structured so that even someone who has never touched a shovel in their life will leave feeling like they understand what it takes — and have a clear next step.

What Makes This Different

Most farming programs are either too theoretical (PowerPoint slides, no soil) or too narrow (only about one crop or one technique). Agriculture 360 is a full day on a working organic farm with people who have been doing this for over a decade.

You will see, touch, and ask questions about everything. There is no script, no sales pitch. Just a farm, the people who run it, and one day to ask everything you have always wanted to know.
