Nearly 30 farmers die by suicide every day in India due to crushing pressures: insurmountable debt, environmental degradation, and extreme rates of cancer linked to exposure to pesticides.
Skill Vikas Foundation (SVF) is tackling this problem at the core, by helping farmers convert their farmland from a liability to an asset through low-cost sustainable farming methods and community and school partnerships.
