Who We Are
Welcome! we introduce you to the Prithvi Indigenous Natural Farmers Trust (PINFT), a beacon of hope for sustainable agriculture in the Tiruvarur district of Tamil Nadu, India. Our core mission is to empower local farmers by promoting organic and natural farming practices, ensuring a healthier planet and a more prosperous future for our agricultural communities.
Our Vision: To create a thriving and self-sufficient agricultural ecosystem rooted in traditional, chemical-free farming methods.
Our Mission: To act as a vital support system for farmers, providing them with the necessary knowledge, resources, and market access to successfully transition to and flourish in organic agriculture.

Facilitating Market Access: We bridge the gap between farmers and consumers by creating robust marketing channels for their organic produce, both within India and internationally.
Our Official Recognition – A Mark of Trust
PINFT is proud to be a recognized and approved body by key national institutions:

Functioning as a Regional Council for PGS-India: We operate under the Participatory Guarantee System of India, a quality assurance program that emphasizes the active involvement of both producers and consumers in the organic certification process.
