About The Company

We are a bio-farming focused social enterprise designed to address three of the world’s most pressing concerns – nutrition deficiency, climate change, and farmer livelihoods – simultaneously! We do so through a unique, hub-and-spoke model designed to be sustainable and scalable.

Regenerative Agriculture

The company's farming practices push the bar well beyond conventional organic…into standards that are now being recognized as Regenerative Organic (a term initiated by The Rodale Institute).
Key dimensions include: companion cropping, crop sequencing, photosynthesis support, and soil life enhancement through microbial culture…all of which significantly enhance the bio-availability and nutrient density of the produce.This unique new design was recently awarded the Food System Vision 2050 Prize by the Rockefeller Foundation and has been selected as one of the finalists at the Global TFF Challenge 2021 – “How to feed 10 billion people by 2050 on a hotter planet?”.Collaborating for the Future: This humble attempt of ours to create a prototype for a food system of the future necessarily includes collaborating with all key actors of the food system such as policymakers, trade, and the F&B industry.The company looks forward to meaningful and creative collaborations with key institutions and individuals and together building a nutrition-secure future – for all.
