Pigeon Peas

Our sustainable pigeon pea production is highly beneficial for the environment . This drought-tolerant legume has a deep root system helps prevent soil erosion and can access water and nutrients from deeper soil layers, making it resilient in dry conditions. As a legume, it fixes atmospheric nitrogen, enriching the soil and reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. We practice intercropping, planting pigeon peas alongside cereals or other crops to improve soil health, manage pests naturally, and diversify their income. The plant's leaves and stems can also be used as a "chop and drop" mulch, adding organic matter to the soil and improving its structure. Our overall, sustainable pigeon pea farming builds a more resilient and productive agricultural system with minimal external inputs.
