GENESIS AND CONTINUITY

After many years of creating impact projects in farming communities of India involved in floricultures, exploring organic agriculture, water harvesting, and digital traceability assurance systems, Nissaba’s founder had a strong desire to create a specific project in Tamil Nadu for NIssaba Parfums, centered in youth vocations.

Together with a local NGO, Nissaba partnered with Boys Boys Town Pulluthu, a Christian foundation school, to create a pioneering curriculum combining floriculture, agroforestry, and entrepreneurship.

INSPIRING VOCATIONS IN FLORICULTURE

The Nissaba designed program equips young students with agro-ecology knowledge, and hands-on skills, on agriculture, associating food crops, cash crops, agroforestry, and floriculture. By integrating this professional training into the existing school’s curriculum, it gives them the choice to become resilient agri-entrepreneurs ready to diversify crops and embrace sustainable practices.

HANDS ON FLORICULTURE, WITH RESILIENT PRACTICES

Demonstration and practice plot were established within the school’s 100-acre property, designed to showcase multi-crop systems mixing flowers (jasmine, tuberose, davana), food, fodder, and tree crops. These activities now represents an important part of the annual curriculum, offering practical exposure to diversified farming for long-term resilience.

The model encourages students to transfer their skills back home, applying sustainable techniques on their family farms. With this generational ripple effect, the program nurtures both immediate impact and future continuity, ensuring resilient livelihoods in the face of climate change.

TRANSFORMING LIVES, LANDSCAPES, AND THE FUTURE

By combining floriculture, agroforestry, and entrepreneurship, the Tamil Nadu project redefines farming for a new generation. Students gain not only practical expertise but also a renewed vision of agriculture ; not as a struggle, but as a sustainable, entrepreneurial opportunity.
