Kodagu Farming Traditions: A Legacy of Agriculture and Sustainability
Kodagu farming traditions are as old as the region itself, and they remain essential to the Kodava way of life. The region’s fertile land and favorable climate make it perfect for growing crops like coffee, cardamom, pepper, and rice. Coffee cultivation is the backbone of Kodagu’s agriculture, and the process involves deep knowledge passed down through generations. The River Homestay in Kushalnagar offers guests the opportunity to visit local coffee plantations, where they can learn about traditional farming practices and even participate in activities like coffee picking. Visitors can see firsthand how the Kodava community has maintained its connection to the land through sustainable farming methods.
