Where there is a will, there is a way

Farmers are dependent on chemical fertilizers for good productivity. However, in the long run these chemical fertilizers prove to be detrimental to the soil, affecting its fertility adversely. This makes the farmers go into the painful cycle of hazardous food and reduced profits.

Although inspiring a farmer to traverse a path less travelled was a bit challenging at first, Raghuveer Kelkar decided to work directly with farmers along with producer and bio-input companies and organizations/NGOs that work with farmers and help them convert their farms into pure ones devoid of chemicals & pesticides. He then took the next step, which was to support them financially by purchasing their produce at higher than market rates. In addition to this, he made way to help farmers learn technical aspects of organic farming like home preparation of bio-pesticides using leaves of plants in the vicinity, preparation & application of jeevamrut and guidance for crop selection/ rotation.  

Transformation in Farming 

The brand works to transform the ways in which farming is carried out today. In collaboration with other organizations, Vasudev Agrotech trains farmers in natural farming/ organic farming techniques and helps them to implement these techniques in their farms. These techniques steadily give their effect with a bountiful produce, as the purity of soil is gradually regained and the resistance of crops to diseases and changes in weather increases. They also help the farms to become free of previously used chemicals & pesticides. This, in turn, helps to regain productivity without the need of chemicals. Then by creating a supply chain that makes the produce accessible to conscious consumers, farmers get stable incomes and consumers get pure, nutritious and healthy food at reasonable prices.
