Environmental Impact of Sustainable Guar Sourcing

Natural Resource Management

The Sustainable Guar Initiative is being implemented in Bikaner, Rajasthan, a region where the unforgiving climate presents significant challenges for farmers. To combat these harsh conditions, SGI is championing Natural Resource Management (NRM) as a key strategy for building resilience.

Thanks to the active involvement of the local farming community and the dedicated efforts of the SGI team, the project has successfully enhanced water availability and increased greenery in the area. These improvements have had a profound impact on addressing drinking water scarcity in the local community, transforming not just the landscape but also the lives of those who depend on it.

Through innovative practices and community engagement, SGI is paving the way for a more sustainable and water-secure future in this arid region.

Rainwater Conservation Practices

In Rajasthan's water-scarce environment, SGI has implemented transformative water conservation strategies that improve both farming practices and daily life for local communities.

Since launching these initiatives, SGI has stored millions of liters of rainwater, boosting agricultural productivity and reducing water-related stress on local communities.

Community Plantations and Agroforestry

Through tree planting and agroforestry, SGI builds resilience. Our community plantations focus on planting local trees that enhance climate resilience while providing additional income sources through fruit harvests or other by-products. This initiative not only contributes positively to carbon sequestration but also encourages a sense of communal pride.

Climate Impact Metrics: Measuring Success

SGI tracks its impact through transparent climate metrics, from carbon offsets to water conservation data, ensuring that our initiatives are accountable and adaptable for the future.
