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.
