Transforming agriculture through regenerative organic practices: a study on Dharma Naturals

Student name: Mr Dutikeshwar Ballav Das
Guide: Dr Shruti Sharma Rana
Year of completion: 2025
Host Organisation: Dharma Naturals
Supervisor (Host Organisation): Mr Rajeev Yadav
Abstract:

This research seeks to understand how regenerative organic agriculture operates and affects the environment at Dharma Naturals, a leading organization that values sustainability and ecological recovery. The goal is to examine the key methods used, assess the outcomes of these methods for society and the environment, judge if the model can be expanded and put forth steps to increase the use of regenerative agriculture. The data extracted from participant meetings, field visits and reading about industry practices suggest that Dharma Naturals has managed to switch its farming methods to be more ecological and profitable. Researchers found key changes in the soil, as it became richer and absorbed more water and harbored more types of microbes, plus the return of native species of plants and animals added to biodiversity. It is clear that farming as a business contributes to higher farmer profit, better well-being in communities and supports more employment in local areas.

The report mentions issues such as not having all the knowledge, not enough funds and too much work, but these were dealt with by peer learning, backing from the institution and initiating local composting projects. Social and economic monitoring, along with checking against environmental goals, proves to help the organization adapt and reach out to stakeholders. The study shows that Dharma Naturals' style of regenerative farming balances care for the earth with care for its people. Experts suggest improving teamwork with institutions, providing useful policies and providing greater information about the use of AI. The study proves that regenerative organic agriculture can solve both environmental problems and help maintain rural economies, giving a sustainable method that can be used elsewhere.
