This quarter, 3,362 more farmers transitioned to tree-based agriculture and plantation of over 2.2 million trees were enabled. From a policy reform expanding farmers' access to high-value timber, to a farmer's ₹15 lakh return on 2.5 acres in 5 years—here's what happened on the ground.

This quarter, Cauvery Calling’s initiatives took deeper root, with over 7,600 farmers newly transitioning to tree-based agriculture, and the planting of 3.7 million living trees enabled. Through large-scale knowledge-sharing among farmers, independently verified on-ground impact, and international engagement, Cauvery Calling continues to strengthen farms, livelihoods, and soil.

This quarter, Cauvery Calling continued to make steady progress. The project enabled over 3.6 million trees to be planted, positively impacting 8,499 farmers. At the heart of Cauvery Calling are these farmers—the true Soil Heroes—who have embraced tree-based agriculture not just as a means of livelihood, but as a mission to restore and enrich the soil.

This quarter, Cauvery Calling enabled the plantation of 2 million trees. Over 1,800 farmers were trained in tree-based agriculture, empowering rural communities to restore soil health and secure their livelihoods. The 160 inspiring women nursery workers, whose years of dedication have enabled millions of saplings and countless transformations, were also celebrated.

Every season tells a story—and this one speaks of soil that thrives, communities that come together, and farmers who dare to reimagine the potential of their land. With expert-led guidance, thousands of farmers are transitioning to tree-based agriculture and Cauvery Calling continues to sow transformation across Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

As we begin a new year, the Cauvery Calling team is excited to build on the incredible progress so far. From global recognition to local impact, the movement continues to transform lives and landscapes. Here is a glimpse of the project’s achievements during the past quarter and the inspiring stories demonstrating our success.

From large-scale training programs to heartwarming individual success stories, our mission to bring ecological progress and economic prosperity through tree-based agriculture is growing stronger every day.
