Ludlow ICARE Pilot Project
In association with the National Jute Board, the Ludlow ICARE Project focuses on improving the lives of jute farmers by providing them with technology and educational resources that help them increase their yield. In the pilot phase, we have adopted the Chapra village in West Bengal where we interact with as many as 270 farmers. The improvements in cultivation and yield are ultimately for the dissemination to all jute farmers. We estimate that there are 2 million people in the region whose livelihoods depend on jute farming.
