To address these interconnected issues, the core group launched a Sustainable Organic Agriculture Initiative paired with Community-Based Conflict Mitigation. In 2024, key infrastructure was established at a central demonstration farm, including a borehole, irrigation system, tank stand, and a security house built using earthbags. The site is now fully fenced, and vegetable planting has begun, with further training planned for the farm foreman.
A major component of the conflict strategy is a Nature-Based Beekeeping Initiative. 35 beehives have been built and will form a beehive fence – a proven, non-lethal method to deter elephants, who avoid bees. A bamboo bio-fence is also being developed to reinforce the boundary.
