This book offers a practical and holistic guide to mobilizing communities for the adoption and promotion of natural farming practices. Spanning twenty chapters, it blends theory with real-world applications, making it valuable for extension workers, development practitioners, researchers, and community leaders engaged in sustainable agriculture.

The text introduces the concepts, strategies, and tools of community mobilization, including entry methods, profiling, and social mapping, while uniquely integrating yoga philosophy and practices to strengthen collective action. It explains frameworks such as SWOT analysis, behavioral change models, and programme planning, providing step-by-step guidance from need assessment to implementation and evaluation.

Emphasizing organizational mechanisms, it highlights the roles of Self Help Groups (SHGs), Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), and Farmer Based Organizations (FBOs). Supported by case studies, communication strategies, and policy linkages, this book serves as a comprehensive resource for fostering sustainable farming practices through effective community engagement and empowerment.
