It is in the genesis of our journey that we decided to make a difference to the lives of farmers. Sustain them, grow them and co-opt them into the reawakening of the age \u2013 old and proven practices of cultivation, farming, harvesting and storage. The fundamental driver though, being the need to deliver sustainable living to them.<\/p>\n<p>How do we do that? How do we bring the farmer into a beneficial circle of life?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We understand India\u2019s farmers. The farmers today invest on an average 50-60% of their earnings into pesticides and fertilizers. Rural indebtedness, market fluctuations coupled with an unpredictable weather. What we have is a troubled small farmer, many of them driven to commit suicides. We believe that grouping farmers together, bound by a passion to go organic will alleviate their economic situation, leverage their timeless wisdom and certainly deliver better returns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1504689041779{background-color: #fcfcfc !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2858&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeInLeft&#8221; el_class=&#8221;no-link&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2890&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1525693768316{background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1525694093254{padding-top: 175px !important;}&#8221;][tbay_title_heading title=&#8221;Protecting our planet&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; buttons=&#8221;btn-default btn-outline&#8221; buttons2=&#8221;btn-default btn-outline&#8221; el_class=&#8221;title_underlined text-center&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"about-sub\">Soil contamination, poor groundwater levels, soil erosion &#8211; all true facts of this day and age.<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][tbay_title_heading title=&#8221;Going Organic&#8221; style=&#8221;style2&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; buttons=&#8221;btn-default btn-outline&#8221; buttons2=&#8221;btn-default btn-outline&#8221; el_class=&#8221;title_underlined text-center&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"about-sub\" style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #858282; font-family: roboto slab; font-size: 14px; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25px; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\">Purchase of produce by us at a profitable price. This means that the farmer is assured of a return independent of cyclical ups and downs. In addition, we work alongside with farmers- helping them augment their knowledge and processes. It is this culture of helpfulness and empathy, which we have christened in our mission as the strengthening of the circle of life.<br \/>\nNeedless to say, there are two other points in the circle of life -you and the planet. You eat healthier, pesticide and chemical \u2013 free food and the planet gains from better use of water, land and rotation of crops.<br \/>\nThe circle of life is a culture imperative, which goes beyond commerce. We are there with India every step of the way.<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1504689041779{background-color: #fcfcfc !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221; pull-right&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2859&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeInRight&#8221; el_class=&#8221;no-link&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1504689074321{padding-top: 113px !important;}&#8221;][tbay_title_heading title=&#8221;The real taste of food&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; buttons=&#8221;btn-default btn-outline&#8221; buttons2=&#8221;btn-default btn-outline&#8221; el_class=&#8221;title_underlined text-center&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"about-sub\">\u00a0Safe and healthy foods &#8211; same taste.<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2845&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3071&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>&#8220;There&#8217;s nothing more important than our good health &#8211; that&#8217;s our principal capital asset.&#8221; &#8211; Arlen Specter<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row el_class=&#8221;text-center&#8221;][vc_column][tbay_title_heading title=&#8221;Our Culture&#8221; style=&#8221;style2&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; buttons=&#8221;btn-default btn-outline&#8221; buttons2=&#8221;btn-default btn-outline&#8221; el_class=&#8221;title_underlined text-center&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221;] Making a difference to Indian farmers is of paramount importance to us.
