Peoples’ Saga “OWN A TREE” Program

Collaborative agriculture transforms the traditional food chain from a detached transactional relationship into an active partnership between producers and consumers. By co-investing in the farming process, citizens shift from being passive buyers to active stakeholders in food security, ecological health, and rural livelihoods.

Core Collaborative Models

  • Community Supported Agriculture (CSA): Consumers buy a “share” of the harvest at the start of the season. This provides the farmer with immediate working capital and guarantees the community a weekly supply of fresh, seasonal produce.
  • Crowdfunding and Micro-lending: Digital platforms allow urban citizens to fund specific farm improvements, such as building greenhouses, installing solar pumps, or buying organic seeds, often repaid in fresh produce or modest interest.
  • Co-operative Farming and Distribution: Farmers and consumers run shared distribution hubs or food co-ops. This eliminates exploitative middlemen and ensures fair prices for both parties.
  • Agritourism and Voluntourism: Farms open their gates for educational visits or volunteer planting days. This bridges the urban-rural divide and creates alternative revenue streams.

 

Benefits of the Collaboration

For the Farmer For the Citizens (The People)
Guaranteed Market: Direct demand secures a predictable income and drastically reduces post-harvest food waste. Traceable Quality: Consumers know exactly how, where, and by whom their food is grown, ensuring better nutrition.
Shared Risk: If climate events cause a crop failure, the financial loss is cushioned across the community rather than destroying the farmer’s livelihood. Fairer Prices: Eliminating wholesalers keeps food affordable while funneling maximum profit directly back to the grower.
Direct Capital: Upfront citizen funding cuts reliance on high-interest predatory loans or rigid bank cycles. Environmental Impact: Collaborative funding actively supports climate-resilient, organic, and biodiversity-friendly farming.

The Societal Impact

This partnership builds resilient local food systems capable of weathering global supply chain disruptions. It preserves agricultural heritage, keeps smallholder farmers on their land, and ensures urban populations remain deeply connected to the ecosystems that sustain them.

FARMER + PEOPLES SAGA + AFFILIATES

A Partnership for Sustainable Agriculture, Rural Prosperity & Community Growth

Farmer × Peoples Saga is a collaborative agriculture model designed to bring together the experience and land resources of farmers with the planning, investment, technology, market access and management capabilities of Peoples Saga.

The objective is simple — to make agriculture more organised, sustainable and economically rewarding while keeping the farmer at the centre of the ecosystem.

The Concept

Under this collaboration, farmers and Peoples Saga work as partners rather than as a conventional landowner–operator arrangement.

The Farmer brings:

  • Agricultural land and local knowledge
  • Experience in farming and understanding of the land
  • Traditional and region-specific agricultural practices
  • Participation in cultivation and farm development

Peoples Saga brings:

  • Project planning and agricultural development
  • Investment and infrastructure support
  • Modern farming practices and technology
  • Crop planning and farm management
  • Branding, packaging and market development
  • Access to organised sales and distribution channels
  • Support for value addition and agricultural products

From Land to Livelihood

The collaboration aims to create an integrated “Farm to Market” ecosystem, where agriculture is not limited to cultivation alone.

Land → Cultivation → Harvest → Processing → Branding → Market → Revenue

Where commercially viable, the model can also include:

  • Organic and natural farming
  • Horticulture and plantation crops
  • Medicinal and aromatic plants
  • Ayurveda and wellness-related crops
  • Agroforestry
  • Nursery and plantation development
  • Farm-based experiences and agri-tourism
  • Processing and value-added agricultural products

Shared Growth Model

The partnership can be structured through a mutually agreed revenue-sharing, profit-sharing, lease, management or joint-development model, depending on the nature of the land and project.

The fundamental principle is:

The farmer should not merely provide land; the farmer should participate in the value created from the land.

By combining the farmer’s agricultural knowledge with professional project management and market-oriented planning, the collaboration seeks to improve productivity, create additional revenue opportunities and build long-term value from agricultural assets.

Building a Sustainable Rural Ecosystem

Peoples Saga envisions agriculture as more than a business activity. It can become a platform connecting farmers, consumers, investors, local communities and wellness initiatives.

The long-term vision is to develop agricultural projects that:

Respect the Land.
Empower the Farmer.
Create Sustainable Value.
Serve the Community.

Our Vision

Farmer along with Peoples Saga and its esteemed affiliates aims to create a model where agriculture, entrepreneurship and community development grow together.

It is a partnership built on trust, transparency, shared responsibility and shared prosperity — transforming agricultural land into a productive, sustainable and professionally managed ecosystem while preserving the farmer’s connection with the land.

Peoples’ Saga “OWN A TREE” Program

Anybody and everybody can/will adopt or donate a tree when an organization is doing the good work for mere Rs. 200/- per plant in India. No doubt it’s a great work anybody could initiate.

But the real concern is, Will it serve its purpose? Rs. 200/- is fair enough to plant a tree, but the purpose served is only when that plant reaches its lifespan of 30 years at least. Does one should really expect any organization to nurture it till 30 years for Rs. 200/- only. Do you find it realistic? Give it a real thought.

When we talk about a tree growing at least 30 years so gracious, it certainly needs real care and maintenance, which most the organizations cannot afford, hence most of the plants vanish in a mere year.

This is why Peoples’ Saga – Sustainable Living has designed a module in such a way wherein everything sees its best possible results. The concept of “COMMERCIAL – CHARITY” venturing out Peoples’ Saga “OWN A TREE” Program.

“So Never ADOPT A TREE instead buy – GIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE.”

Plants and trees are our natural capital. They are fundamental to life on earth, offering food, medicine and shelter. They also sequester carbon, fight pollution and bind the soil.

The solution to catastrophic events like wildfires, floods and pandemics lies in restoring green cover and restoring the balance in nature. Planting or adopting trees can help safeguard jobs, human health and essential natural resources for millions of people.

Forest cover in India (2022) – important statistics

The total forest cover in India (2022) is 7,13,789 square kilometers which is 21.71% of the total geographical area. India has added 1,540 Sq. km. of forest cover from 2019 to 2021. The forest cover is divided into 3 parts.

  • Very dense forest: All land with tree canopy density of 70% and above.
  • Moderately dense forest: All land with tree canopy density of 40% – 70%.
  • Open forest: All land with tree canopy density of 10% – 40%.

Forest Cover Lost in 11 States as India Falls 11% Behind 2022 Target

India has been able to show an increase in the overall forest cover on paper without an actual increase in forests

India’s total forest cover currently is 713,789 sq km. This is nearly 22% of India’s total geographical area. India’s target was to increase this up to 33% by this year. We are currently over 11% behind this target.

The total forest cover, however, has increased by a mere 1,540 Sq Km. This data has been released in India’s State of Forest Report (ISFR) 2021, the last version of this report came in 2019.

The notable points that the survey has revealed indicate that the forest cover that has been lost, a major part of it is from the country’s dense forest areas. Whereas, the increase that we claim in our forest cover is mostly under ‘open forest’. The open forest is a category of forest cover where the tree canopy density is 10-40%.

So in reality, our forest cover has been depleting, even though data says otherwise. Read further to understand how that has been happening.

Respiratory Facts

The average adult, when resting, inhales and exhales about 7 or 8 liters of air per minute. That totals about 11,000 liters of air per day.

Inhaled air is about 20 percent oxygen. Exhaled air is about 15 percent oxygen. Therefore, about 5 percent of breathed air is consumed in each breath. That air is converted to carbon dioxide. So, as far as how much air is used, human beings take in about 550 liters of pure oxygen per day.

An average person’s respiration generates approximately 450 liters (roughly 900 grams) of carbon dioxide per day.

In an average resting adult, the lungs take up about 250ml of oxygen every minute while excreting about 200ml of carbon dioxide. (Respiratory system)

So, 200 ml per minute and thus 200mlx60X24 = 288L. Or equivalent to 565.36g/per day = 0.565 kg/day (after divide with standard molar volume constant and times with CO2 molar weight).

Assuming life to be 80 years = .565*365*80 = 16498 Kg/average life. Hence it ranges from 26.2 ton – 16.5 ton /life.

Research has shown that this answer could vary. While a typical hardwood tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year (22 Kgs appx). This means it will sequester approximately 1 ton of carbon dioxide by the time it reaches 40 years old.

So, on an average, a average human should have at-least planted “30 trees” in their lifetime.

Let us join hands for a better tomorrow and make avail to our next generation whatever is available for us, that way making everything sustainable.
