Put the idea behind the products was that on one hand we had this amazing treasure off in the gin is going to ins which are no longer being the mostly gone by the families because there isnt one of mine on the other hand we saw this huge trend people are demanding products which are convenient and i mean from venus and of minutes and claims to be ready by nutrition so what we primarily saw that you know there is a dem on and that is a supply box that has no name in between and thats what we started the big. Socially conscious food is how happy to likes to describe its productive its primary objective is to create a direct and sustain. The supply chain. The 1st step was to join forces of the farmer produce a company in the district called the raja which could help bring marginal farmers into the. Supply heavy duty with grains and produce.

A lot of people in the industry for example that associated with the michael Ruby Association off model started associated with the Restaurant Industry off. And what we do is that. The north absorbing as a Manufacturing Company going back to the farm was a would do that they can make them to the us. Apart from eliminating middlemen and ensuring fair prices one of the key objectives of the company has been to bridge the knowledge gap. Farmers know always know what they need to grow what is currently in demand.

Seeds occupy minimum space a seed bank can help preserve the genetic diversity of plants improve resistance to plant diseases and insects create resistance to drought floods oil spills wildfires and other calamities as well as provide seed material for research on how to improve crop yield nutrition. For example in september 27th teen Hurrican Maria caused Severe Damage in puerto rico farmers had lost their crops and they had no seeds to replant the university of parental rico distributed free seeds from its seed bank to small scale farmers and Community Gardens jumpstarting new Crop Production similarly in malaysia rice paddies were almost completely wiped out during the 2004 tsunami how did farmer start over seed by x. On the down side keeping seeds alive for hundreds of years can be a challenge seeds degrade over time and its difficult to predict how long they will last so seed banks need to constantly monitor a seed germination potential or in other words its ability to grow.

Why would any father warned their kids to come and fight me if this see that their fellow farmers. Need that kind of a hopeless and added. Start up from hyderabad is hoping to give the small holders a future by providing reliable crop yields despite the uncertain climate the company has developed a cheap fuel a greenhouse. Open feed if you use 50. Off water to grow one kilogram of vegetables inside a greenhouse just one liter thats one aspect farmers find a great value with this greenhouse right with less water. Apart from the greenhouse katie offers other services farmers in the region can get advice on taking out a loan on choosing the right fertiliser or seeds. The aim is to make harvests more reliable. The yield here is higher with outdoor farming its very low if this were growing outdoors the crop would have been destroyed already by the rains. It would have been a total loss. So far the company has set up 50 greenhouses. Katies founder such a drug who had been looking for a way to help indias farmers since he was a teenager.
