Mango Cultivation — A Scientific Approach
We are more than happy to announce our third workshop on Mango Cultivation!
Mango cultivation is becoming increasingly challenging for farmers. Unpredictable weather, changing rainfall patterns, rising temperatures, flowering disturbances and increasing pest and disease pressure are making it harder to maintain healthy orchards and consistent yields.
For organic and low-input farmers, the challenge is even greater — how do we protect the crop without becoming overly dependent on chemical inputs? How do we build healthier soils, manage pests naturally, work with beneficial insects and adapt our orchards to a changing climate?
Our Mango Cultivation Workshop brings together scientific knowledge and practical, field-level experience to explore these questions.
About Our Speaker (Mr Ramesh Babu)
Mr. Ramesh Babu, M.Sc. in Horticulture, who has 29 years of experience in fruit cultivation and has trained farmers across Krishnagiri, the workshop will look at a scientific and sustainable approach to mango cultivation — from orchard management and plant nutrition to pest and disease management, climate resilience and practical organic farming techniques.
Whether you are an experienced mango grower, an organic farmer, or simply interested in sustainable fruit cultivation, come spend a day learning, sharing and exploring how we can grow healthier mangoes while building healthier farms.

About Us
About Us
DFO Community was founded with the vision of building a community of urban farmers—or rather, first-generation, curious farmers—eager to experiment with AgTech, Zero Budget Natural Farming, Permaculture, Sheep and Goat Farming, Agro-Tourism, Drones, and more. You name it, and someone in this community is doing it!
The challenge was to create a single platform where people could share their experiences, build deep connections, and inspire one another on this demanding journey. Now, in its third year, DFO Meetups has only grown stronger. It has sparked new initiatives, fostered entrepreneurial ideas, and empowered urban farmers to execute them sustainably.
These meetups are held once every month, each time featuring a new topic and a different farm as the venue, ensuring fresh learning experiences and deeper engagement with diverse agricultural practices.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Raman Natarajan
I have been a part of DFO group since its inception and exactly 4 years before I have attended a session on 'Snakes Mgt' at Grace farm and after that due to Covid and other personal reasons I was not able to attend and today I am happy to be back. I want to thank entire organization as youngsters have taken a lead now earlier myself and other old members used to organize. I find that all the volunteers are doing a very good job in organizing these meetups, working wholeheartedly. Food was simply superb.
Late Mrs Swapnsree Sengupta
We love the vibe of this community and attended most of the meetups happened in the past. The way they organise knowledge sharing sessions, santhe and games everything shows the effort that these people are putting. We hope these meet ups will run forever.
Joy (Paradise Acres Farm)
DFO meetups along with Santhe have come a long way over the last few yearovers. We have seen a lot of improvement in terms of organizing efficiency, planning and participation. Added a good range of farm products in the Santhe and the inclusion of live food counters enriched the overall experience. As a seller I can see a gradual increase in demand and sales. This is a unique mechanism/effort of creating a vibrant market with a fair price of products created with a lot of passion.
