GUNTUR: Adding another feather to its cap, Rythu Sadhikara Samstha (RySS) has been nominated for the prestigious Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity 2024. Andhra Pradesh Community Managed Natural Farming (APCNF) launched by RySS, in coordination with the Department of Agriculture in 2016, is recognised as the world’s largest agroecology programme with over a million farmers. Natural farming is being practised in over 5,00,000 hectares in the State. A high-level delegation from RySS and the Government of Andhra Pradesh will attend the award ceremony to be held at Lisbon City, Portugal on July 11.
Nagendramma Nettem of Sathya Sai district is the champion farmer of APCNF, who will highlight the role of women in the success of APCNF at the Lisbon event. She has taken up the task of promoting awareness on natural farming, while leading a group of 20 women farmers. The 38-year-old hails from Ghantapuram village and she is a mother of two daughters. Her journey into natural farming started when her 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with vision deficiency, and doctors advised her to increase the girl’s green leafy vegetable intake.
