AGRO RANGERS TRUST was incorporated in September 2020 as a non-profit organisation. We are based in the Shirur, Rajgurunagar, and Ambegaon blocks of Pune District, Maharashtra, India.
Our vision is to empower small and marginal farmers by rejuvenating farmlands, and our mission is to create sustainable livelihoods for farmers through innovative agroforestry models that improve soil quality and reduce the impact of climate change.
We are deeply concerned about the alarming increase in farmer suicides in India. Our state, Maharashtra, is unfortunately at the top of the list, accounting for 37.6% of all farmer deaths in the country.

This calamity is primarily driven by poverty and the vicious cycle of degrading land quality due to chemical use and poor crop yields.
AGRO RANGERS TRUST is committed to reversing this trend by empowering small and marginal farmers through innovative agroforestry models. Our models are designed to:
By implementing these models, we aim to create sustainable livelihoods and provide hope & a better future for farmers trapped in cycles of poverty and environmental degradation.
