The world’s largest farmer-driven ecological movement – Cauvery Calling – is aimed at revitalizing Cauvery river in southern India and transforming the lives of 84 million people.
Envisioned by Sadhguru nearly three decades ago, the movement seeks to simultaneously solve the three critical problems of the tropical world – depleting water, dwindling soil fertility, and the impoverished state of farmers. The movement enables farmers to transition to tree-based agriculture. This improves soil fertility, increases water retention, and boosts their income by 300-800%.
Till date, Cauvery Calling has supported 248,337 farmers and enabled plantation of 128 million living trees. It also provides end-to-end support to make the tree-based agriculture self-sustaining by educating farmers, ensuring quality subsidized saplings, technical assistance, and market linkages.
In 2022, Government of India announced a project to revitalize 13 major Indian rivers with a budget of 2.5 billion US dollars based on Cauvery Calling’s recommendation.
Cauvery Calling’s vision is to support 5.2 million farmers to plant 2.42 billion trees. This will lead to a 12 trillion liters increase in water holding capacity in Cauvery basin, increase water flow in Cauvery by 40%, infuse over 322 billion USD in the rural economy, and sequester 200-300 million tons of CO2 by 2030 – equivalent to 8-12% of India’s target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 under the Paris Agreement.
