gional requirements and of course, wider dissemination of experiences from the field.

Action For Food production (AFPRO) is a non-governmental , socio-technical development organization that has been working to
reduce rural poverty in India since 1966. We provide technical guidance and back-up support to grass-root level NGOs in
implementing environmentally sound food production, livelihood generation and related projects. Our core competencies are in
land and water management, agriculture, livestock and fisheries, renewable energy and forestry. AFPRO reaches out to poor
communities through 6 field units and 3 task forces, strategically located in 9 different states in India.
