Low Carbon Farming (LCF) is one of the initiatives taken by SEDS. SEDS propagates traditional innovative farming methods to break the cycle of heavy pesticide usage, soil depletion and successively reduced crop yields. Through LCF, SEDS encourages farmers to try alternative ideas such as planting a crop around the perimeter of the field so that pests attack that instead of the main crop. Farmers are given intense training on low carbon farming and its approaches. They are provided with manuals to record the input and output of using methods of farming.
