Community Mobilization for Natural Farming is a comprehensive resource designed to explore the principles, processes, and practical approaches involved in organizing rural communities for sustainable agricultural development. The book highlights the importance of collective participation, social empowerment, behavioural change, and grassroots leadership in promoting natural farming systems. It systematically covers community mobilization strategies, rural social structures, programme planning, technology transfer, group dynamics, motivation, conflict management, and capacity-building approaches relevant to natural farming initiatives.
Special emphasis is given to Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), participatory decision-making, social mapping, monitoring and evaluation, and the role of government schemes and media in strengthening rural livelihoods. The inclusion of practical concepts such as SWOT analysis, yoga for community well-being, counselling, mentoring, and training further enhances the usefulness of the text. Written for students, researchers, extension professionals, policymakers, NGOs, and development practitioners, this book serves as a valuable guide for building resilient, self-reliant, and sustainable farming communities.
