ISKCON Sircilla’s commitment to sustainable lifestyle

Hyderabad Hyderabad: ISKCON’s commitment to sustainability is strongly reflected in its agricultural projects, which emphasize the harmonious relationship between humans, animals, and the earth. Here’s a look at how ISKCON’s agricultural projects contribute to sustainability:

  • Emphasis on self-sufficiency: ISKCON agricultural communities aim to achieve self-sufficiency by producing their own food, reducing dependence on industrial agriculture. This is in line with the principle of ‘simple living, high thinking.’
  • Organic and sustainable farming practices: Many ISKCON farms prefer organic farming methods, avoiding harmful chemical pesticides and fertilizers. They often use crop rotation, composting, and other sustainable techniques to maintain soil health.
  • Cow protection (Goshala): A central aspect of ISKCON agricultural projects is the protection of cows. Goshalas provide a safe haven for cows, emphasizing ethical animal care and sustainable dairy production. This is a key component of sustainability, as it reduces the need for industrial dairy farming.
