Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy. Nearly 60% of the country’s population is dependent on agriculture for its livelihood. Therefore, a vibrant and progressive agricultural sector is important to the overall growth and progress of the Indian economy.
Abellon Agrisciences is an initiative to achieve a transformation in the current agricultural scenario through a long-term sustainability led approach. Abellon’s model of sustainable agriculture in based on certain key rinciples including...
• No con�ict between food, fodder, �ber and fuel
• Enhancing yield and productivity by promoting progressive agricultural practices
• Creating a sustainable and inclusive growth model involving farmers, experts and the government, leading to larger social change and progress
• Supporting the cause of a 'Clean and Green Environment'
The agriculture sector contributes 14% of annual global
GHG emissions.

One of the largest sites of its kind in India...nurturing a sustainable agro-forestry model...
Agro-forestry is an integrated approach of leveraging the bene�ts of combining agricultural and forestry technologies. It helps to create more diverse, productive, healthy and sustainable land-use systems.
To model sustainable cultivation of energy crops along with traditional agricultural crops, Abellon has set up an agroforesty project in Gujarat, India. The �rst of its kind initiative in India, the project was initiated since early July 2010. The site showcases multiple combinations of energy, forestry, horticulture, leguminous as well as other short-rotation crops including Bamboo, thornless Prosopis, Drumsticks, Tuver, Banana, Sandalwood, Arduso etc. to name a few.
Till date, more than 140,000 trees have been planted on site, with over 100,000 bamboos.
The site has been developed as a truly sustainable and zero-waste generating model with integration of complementing elements…

COLLECTION & PREPROCESSING OF BIOMASS
AT THE POORNAKUMBHA HUB
VARIOUS SOURCES OF BIOMASS
Abellon has designed a unique decentralized model for sourcing biomass residue from within a pre-de�ned geographical distance from Abellon's solid biofuels manufacturing and power generation sites. It ensures continuous biomass supply round the year, reduces logistical complexities and minimizes carbon footprint from transportation.
To cultivate and harvest bene�ts of bamboo on large-scale, Abellon has designed a bamboo farming model involving farmers. The model also aims at supporting Abellon’s bioenergy projects in terms of continuous biomass supply. Through this project, Abellon demonstrates strategic plan for utilizing land and other resources to maximize agricultural output.
BAMBOO FARMING
Abellon's model site also showcases a unique "Solar Agri-Electric Model", combining harvesting of solar radiation on silicon wafers to produce energy and supporting the photosynthesis platform for agricultural activities. Traditional guidelines for location of solar energy generation sites propagate use of deserti�ed land, to ensure no con�ict between agriculture and energy generation. Abellon's model locates the solar site on agricultural land, and combines the strengths of solar energy generation with agricultural productivity, in the process proving that it is possible to get more value out of both in line with the principle of “e�cient resource management".
The model anchors various innovative features including...
• Optimum utilization of space available under the solar panels to grow select crops
• Utilization of waste-water available from cleaning of solar panels, as well as rain water, to irrigate the crops - a "Water-positive" practice
• Use of water and vegetation to keep the place dust-free, thus ensuring greater efficiency in energy generation, and creating a micro-climate.
• Application of Zero Waste Concept - using waste derived from harvesting crops to generate energy and nutrition
