About Koraput

Koraput district, located in southern Odisha, is part of the Eastern Ghats plateau and is known for its high altitude, forest cover, and rich agri-biodiversity. The district is home to several tribal communities whose food systems are closely tied to local ecology, seasonal cycles, and traditional farming practices.

Agriculture in Koraput is largely rain-fed and community-driven. Native rice varieties, millets, pulses, oilseeds, and forest produce form the backbone of local food production. Cultivation practices here prioritise mixed cropping, seed preservation, and minimal external inputs, passed down through generations.
