o Micro farming: Though farm-to-table is generally known, we encourage people especially in urban areas to indulge in farming by practicing, what we call balcony-to-table, terrace/roof-to-table, yard/garden-to-table systems of cultivation. Farming techniques will include Hydroponics, Aeroponics, Bio-walls, and containers having light weight growing media etc.
o High-rise condominiums, Group housing societies and other gated communities can use their vast rooftops for micro farming and produce significant amounts of quality food at affordable prices and also contribute in reducing carbon footprint. Large scale adoption of micro farming in urban areas has the potential to complement the traditional farm-to-city food supply chain and increase food security.
Apart from the aforesaid we also provide consultancy services for:
o Preparing bankable report for securing financial assistance.
o Applying to various government subsidy schemes like that of National Horticulture Board and other Central agencies.
