This page lists the 34 towns in Odisha where we have a farm planning guide. Each guide uses that town's own monthly climate to suggest a protected structure, a hydroponic system and a crop calendar. The towns listed are 710 to 1,220 km in a straight line from our nearest site.
On the Köppen–Geiger climate map, 32 of these towns fall in the tropical savanna (dry winter) zone (Aw) and 1 in the humid subtropical with dry winters zone (Cwa), and the rest in other zones.[1] Urban households in Odisha spent an average of ₹5,925 per person per month in 2023–24, against an all-India urban average of ₹7,078.[2]
