Satvik, Udaipur-
Permaculture Farm


Project Overview
Location: Udaipur, Rajasthan (India)
Project Area: 2 Acre
Project Objectives
Create a dense, multi-layered food forest that provides year-round produce.
Implement a tubewell recharge system using swales and percolation structures for water sustainability.
Integrate livestock (desi cows, poultry) into the farm ecosystem for fertility and natural pest management.
Regenerate soil health through natural farming methods.
Develop a replicable model for small farmers and eco-entrepreneurs in Rajasthan and North India.
Key Design Elements & Implementation
- Water Conservation & Tubewell Recharge
Contour swales and micro-catchments were designed to capture and slow down rainwater.
A tubewell recharge pit with filtration layers (gravel, sand, biochar) was constructed to directly feed percolated water into the groundwater table.
Runoff from nearby farm paths was redirected into swales and recharge pits, ensuring maximum water retention.
Food Forest Development
Multi-tiered plantation of fruit trees (guava, lemon, papaya), shrubs, herbs, climbers, and ground covers.
Companion planting and guilds were designed for pest control and nutrient cycling.
The food forest is planned for low irrigation dependency after establishment.
Animal Integration for Regenerative Cycles
Desi cows for manure production and rotational grazing. Their urine and dung are directly used for jeevamrut and mulching.
Free-range poultry (hens and ducks) for natural pest control, scratching the soil, and enhancing fertility.
Animal shelters were designed using natural materials (bamboo, mud, thatch) to ensure minimal environmental footprint.
Soil Fertility & Organic Inputs
On-site composting, jeevamrut, and mulching cycles to enrich the soil continuously.
No chemical fertilizers or pesticides — only biofertilizers and organic pest repellents were used.
Waste-to-Resource Systems
Kitchen waste composting integrated into garden beds.
Leaf litter, pruned biomass, and cow dung used as nutrient-rich mulch.
