The problem

Telangana's dry belts are cracking. We are teaching regenerative practice, funding drip lines, and organising smallholders into FPOs that finally negotiate their own price.

Small farmers spend 40% of gross on chemical inputs. Borewells run dry every third year. A single failed monsoon can wipe out a family's savings and push them to migrate.

Our approach

How we work.

01

Regenerative inputs

Cow-based bio-fertilisers, neem-based pest management, and season-long agronomist visits — free for the first two years.

02

Water efficiency

Drip and sprinkler kits at 50% co-pay, plus check-dam construction to recharge dying borewells.

03

Seed banks

Community-managed seed banks with 42 native millet, pulse, and vegetable varieties — climate-resilient by design.

04

FPOs

Three farmer producer organisations aggregating produce, negotiating price, and cutting the middleman out.

A life changed

"My input cost fell by half. My yield rose by a third. I did not migrate this year."

Naresh farms 2.5 acres. He moved to regenerative practice in 2023 with our agronomist's help. He paid off his ₹40,000 borewell loan the same year and joined the FPO the next.

Third-party soil tests every six months by ICRISAT-affiliated agronomists — publicly reported on our transparency page.

Yes. ₹3,000 funds one farmer's full season of organic inputs and agronomist visits.
