Welcome to Azolla Project
In the Keezh Arungunam and Natham villages of the Annagramam Panchayat Union, a program was initiated to provide nutrition to livestock—such as goats, cows, and chickens—which significantly support the economic well-being of farmers, while simultaneously reducing the cost of animal feed.
Farmers in these villages have been able to cut down on expenses for traditional feeds like bran, oil cake, and commercial poultry feed by cultivating and harvesting Azolla in a simple manner and using it as a supplemental feed for their livestock.
This initiative started with raising awareness among farmers about Azolla cultivation. The program, which began in February 2021, continues to be implemented successfullyto this day.
Through this initiative, explanatory sessions on Azolla cultivation were conducted for farmers in the neighboring villages. Furthermore, a large number of farmers receive Azolla culture (or seed) for free. Consultation and advice on Azolla cultivation are also provided to interested farmers.
