Farming

Cutting down on daily drudgery, IoT-based 'Pluto' lets farmers control their water pumps from anywhere and at anytime!

One fine day in 1989, the municipality decided to transform Ghulam’s dream garden into a commercial market. Trees were cut ruthlessly, and plants were laid down by bulldozers.

From a unique variety of potatoes that grow on the soil instead of under it, to green beans that grow 1.5 feet long, the last six years have seen the family experiment with new types of crops and plants in their backyard.

With just about enough rainfall and a hot climate, one wouldn't think that the farmers in Jalgaon would be keen on cultivating a crop like the banana.

"The area under Rabi and summer crops shrunk sharply due to mere 66 percent of the average rainfall during the Kharif season in 2017."

“Organic farming should be adopted as a culture and a way of life."

Sunil started an initiative which would help farmers adopt this method in their farms, and according to it, they have to plant herbs and vegetables in a vertical fashion instead of the usual horizontal way.

Suman has sold over 800 plants so far and has been receiving calls for Sadabahar saplings from all over the world.

Vinay took Ashok to a training session by Padma Awardee Subhash Palekar to understand the importance of organic farming.

He believes that farming should be treated as a business.
