How Mati Helped Urmila Devi Protect Her Crops and Cut Input Costs

मेरी फसलों में पहले अक्सर स्टेम बोरर और गुंधी बग की समस्या होती थी, इसलिए हमें बहुत सारे कीटनाशक डालने पड़ते थे। इससे हमारी लागत बढ़ जाती थी और फसल की गुणवत्ता भी कम होती थी। माटी मिलाने के बाद मैंने देखा कि कीटों में काफी कमी आई है और खाद की आवश्यकता भी 50% कम हो गई है

My crops used to have pests like stem borer and gundhi bug very frequently, so we had to add lot of pesticides. This added to our costs and reduced the value of the produce. After adding Mati, I have seen a significant reduction in pests and there is 50% less fertilizer needed.

Mati’s impact begins with farmers: healthier soils, higher yields, lower disease pressure, and new income streams. Every ton of carbon we remove is tied to a co-benefit — improved food security, restored ecosystems, and greater climate resilience.
