Founded in 2020 by agronomist Dr. Anjali Mehra and environmental economist Rahul Deshpande, organicfarm emerged from a shared conviction that India’s traditional farming wisdom—once sidelined by chemical‑intensive practices—must be revitalized to secure food sovereignty and ecological resilience. Headquartered in Pune, our team brings together soil scientists, horticulturists, rural‑development experts, and quality‑assurance professionals to design and implement organic‑transition roadmaps for family farms, cooperatives, and community land trusts.
Our journey began with pilot projects in the Western Ghats foothills, where monsoon‑fed terraced plots interplanted with millets, pulses, and native legumes demonstrated remarkable soil‑carbon gains and yield stability under erratic rainfall. Collaborating with local farmer‑producer organizations (FPOs), we introduced green‑manure cover crops such as dhaincha and berseem to replenish nitrogen, and bioinoculants like Rhizobium and Azospirillum to foster beneficial microbes. These early successes—marked by 20 % higher organic‑market prices and 30 % lower input costs—spurred expansion into the Deccan plateau and coastal plains.
At the core of our model is participatory training: we conduct immersive “soil‑health camps” and on‑farm demonstration days, teaching techniques such as zero‑till seeding, trench‑composting, and botanical‑extract pest controls. Our mobile soil‑testing labs deliver instant readings of pH, organic‑matter content, and micronutrient levels, enabling farmers to tailor regenerative amendments precisely. Meanwhile, our agritech platform tracks plot‑level data—moisture, temperature, crop phenology—via low‑cost sensors and satellite imagery, guiding irrigation schedules and harvest timing to optimize both quality and quantity.
organicfarm’s value‑chain integration ensures that farmers receive Fair‑Trade certification, GPS‑verified traceability, and direct market linkages—from farm‑gate collection centers to retail chains and e‑commerce partners. We package and cold‑chain–distribute fresh produce, milled grains, and artisanal millet flour under our “Pure & Proud” label, backed by ISO 22000–compliant processing facilities. Through revenue‑sharing cooperatives and microfinance support, we reinvest profits into farmer dividends, rural infrastructure, and youth‑leadership scholarships—fostering vibrant, self‑sustaining agrarian communities.
By 2024, organicfarm has onboarded over 120 FPOs, covering 10,000 hectares under certified organic management, and delivered over 5,000 metric tons of product to urban and export markets. Our environmental impact—measured by life‑cycle assessments—shows a 40 % reduction in greenhouse‑gas emissions, 50 % improvement in soil‑water retention, and measurable upticks in local pollinator diversity.
Today, as India navigates climate uncertainty and rising consumer demand for clean, ethical foods, organicfarm stands at the forefront of a regenerative‑agriculture movement that honors ancestral stewardship while embracing modern innovation. Our vision for 2030: to scale to 100,000 hectares, empower 50,000 farming families, and transform India’s food systems into globally recognized exemplars of ecological prosperity and rural empowerment.
