Caring for those who feed the nation

Since 2004, the Centre for Sustainable Agriculture (CSA) has worked alongside small and marginal farmers, their collectives and governments to make farming ecological, viable and fair.

Who we are

CSA is a professional resource organisation based in Hyderabad. We work with farmers, farmer producer organisations (FPOs), civil society and governments to move Indian agriculture towards agroecology.

Our work began with non-pesticidal management of pests. Punukula became India's first pesticide-free village in 2005, and Enabavi its first organic village in 2006. Today we support organic and natural farming, farmer collectives, fair markets, public policy research and PGS organic certification across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra and beyond.
