organic farmer

Banking on the farm-to-fork concept, Bhagwat is a farmer from Nashik who carries freshly harvested veggies and sells them in Mumbai. Best part? His profits have increased by 20 per cent and Mumbaikars get to eat organic food.

Villagers mocked Varghese Tharakan when he destroyed his 12-year-old rubber plantations to grow jackfruit organically. What happened next will surprise you

"I see farmers are spoiling their fields with all sorts of chemical poison. But once I introduced them to organic farming, their profits have spruced up by up to 50%."

Despite farming in a drought-affected region like Nashikh district in Maharashtra, Bapu Bhausaheb Salunke manages to grow 200 tonnes of grapes every year!

After Prabhakar Mankoji from Karnataka used vermicompost in his farm to practice organic farming, the soil quality improved and food output doubled!

Setting a heartwarming example, the organic farmer has also adopted 5 marginalized kids and is funding their meals, shelter and accommodation!

Like farming, dancing too is a passion. Both dancing and farming are stress busters, but nature has an edge.

From growing a tomato plant in the balcony of his rented home in Bengaluru to becoming a full-fledged natural farmer, Rahul has come a long way. 

Apart from growing chemical-free food, he also created a seed bank named Aadhiyagai (which means first blooming in Tamil), with more than 300 native vegetable and fruit seeds.

The change was not limited to what he had to unlearn, but in a shift in his mindset. Since he genuinely enjoyed farming, the transition was not that difficult.
