Did you know? 🪲 Beetles are the unsung heroes of our regenerative farms! These tiny guardians naturally protect crops, proving that sometimes the best pest control comes straight from nature itself. 🌱💚 #naturalfarming #regenerativeagriculture #SustainableFarming #UrbanFarmsCo #directfromfarm #soilhealth #soilhealthmatters #kisstheground #climatepositive #chemicalfree #nutrientdense #biodiversity

🌱 Farmer-Centric Design, Consumer-Centric Product 🌱 It was a pleasure to share our 5-year journey in developing a model that makes regenerative agriculture the first choice for small landholding farmers—creating a profitable, convenient, and efficient transition from conventional to regenerative practices. Grateful for the opportunity to present at platforms like Global Bioeconomy Summit (GBS2024), World Food Forum, and IFT First, which brought together the brightest minds in food systems. Even more exciting were the rich discussions and meaningful connections that emerged, fueling our shared commitment to building a much stronger food system. A special thank you to Seeding The Future Foundation Bernhard Van Lengerich, PhD. #RegenerativeAgriculture #SmallFarmers #FoodSystems #CarbonPositive

🌱By using multispecies cover crops, our regenerative farms create a natural powerhouse underground. This vibrant blend maximizes nitrogen, strengthens soil structure, and enriches nutrients—all for healthier, more resilient crops🌾 #RegenerativeAgriculture #SustainableFarming #UrbanFarmsCo #directfromfarm #soilhealth #soilhealthmatters #kisstheground #climatepositive #chemicalfree #nutrientdense

Nature’s own pest control! 🌱🐞 By fostering biodiversity, regenerative farms bring balance to the ecosystem, eliminating the need for chemical pesticides. The result? Healthier crops, naturally protected by beneficial insects that keep pests in check. 🌿✨ #RegenerativeAgriculture #SustainableFarming #UrbanFarmsCo #directfromfarm #soilhealth #soilhealthmatters #kisstheground #climatepositive #chemicalfree #nutrientdense

We’re thrilled to share that our CEO, Mr. Vikash K Abraham, will be addressing the Global Bioeconomy Summit (#GBS2024) tomorrow at the workshop "The Power of Many: Tackling Global Food System Challenges Through Innovation in a Bioeconomy Context." Joined by many eminent global leaders, Mr. Vikash will be speaking about innovative approaches and best practices that can help transform global food systems for a more sustainable future! 🌍🌱 #Bioeconomy #FoodSystems #Sustainability #SDGs #GBS2024

We recently held an enriching farmer training event in Sangamner, Pune, with our partner farmers from Sangamner and Narayangaon. Our team shared key insights into regenerative agriculture, covering everything from making bio inputs and understanding the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio in compost making to essential RA practices like "prevention is better than cure." We also explained the lab tests we conduct and shared case studies showcasing the effectiveness of our bio inputs. We reassured our farmers of our commitment to making bio inputs more accessible, simplifying their farming journey. Having worked with the amazing farmers of Sangamner and Narayangaon for 2 years, we’ve seen remarkable improvements in soil fertility and crop yields, and we look forward to continuing this journey of growth together. A big congratulations to our standout farmers who were awarded for their POP compliance, timely crop deliveries, and excellent crop performance! 🌾👏 Together, we’re cultivating a brighter, more sustainable future. 🌍💪 #FarmerTraining #RegenerativeAgriculture #SustainableFarming #SoilHealth #BioInputs #FarmingInnovation #Agriculture #agricultureinindia #soilhealthmatters #kisstheground #urbanfarmsco #farmtofork #climatepositive

🌍 Happy World Environmental Health Day! 🌱 🌍 At Urban Farms Co., we know that the health of our environment is directly tied to the health of our communities, our food, and our future. That’s why we’re committed to practices that protect and regenerate the land, air, and water we all depend on. Our focus on regenerative agriculture helps create ecosystems where the soil, plants, animals, and people can all thrive together. By reducing chemical inputs, fostering biodiversity, and working with nature, we’re helping to build a healthier planet for all. This World Environmental Health Day, let’s reflect on how our choices impact the environment – and how we can make every action count toward a greener, more sustainable future. Because when we take care of the Earth, it takes care of us. 🌿💧 #WorldEnvironmentalHealthDay #SustainableFarming #RegenerativeAgriculture #EnvironmentalHealth #UrbanFarmsCo #directfromfarm #soilhealth #soilhealthmatters #kisstheground #climatepositive #chemicalfree #nutrientdense

🌱 Meet Our Soil’s Superheroes: Earthworms! 🪱 🌱 We’re thrilled to share that our farms are teeming with earthworms – one of nature’s best indicators of healthy, living soil! But why are these humble creatures such a big deal? Here’s how earthworms help transform our soil into a powerhouse of fertility: ✨ Natural Soil Aerators – As earthworms tunnel through the soil, they create channels that allow air and water to reach plant roots more easily. This improves root growth and helps crops thrive. 🌾 Nutrient Boosters – Earthworms consume organic matter and break it down into nutrient-rich castings (worm poop!), which enrich the soil and provide plants with essential nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. 💧 Water Retention – By loosening the soil, earthworms also help it retain more moisture, reducing the need for irrigation and making plants more resilient during dry periods. But here’s what’s really fascinating – earthworms have porous bodies, which makes them extremely sensitive to chemicals in the soil. The fact that they’re thriving on our farms is a testament to our commitment to chemical-free, regenerative agriculture! 🦸♂️🌿 Without harmful chemicals, our soils are safe havens where earthworms can flourish, working alongside bacteria and fungi to create the perfect environment for nutrient-dense, healthy crops. 🌍 At Urban Farms Co., we’re proud to let nature do what it does best – regenerate the soil and grow healthier, more sustainable produce. #RegenerativeAgriculture #HealthySoil #NoChemicals #SoilHealthMatters #SustainableFarming #UrbanFarmsCo #farmtofork #directfromfarm #kisstheground #carbonpositive #IndianAgriculture

🌱 Exciting News from Our Farms! 🌱 We’ve recently spotted something incredible on our soil – mushrooms! 🍄 At Urban Farms Co., #RegenerativeAgriculture actively encourages the return of beneficial fungi to the soil. Unlike conventional practices such as tillage, which disrupt and reduce fungal networks, RA does the opposite! We promote no-till and other soil-friendly methods that protect and rebuild these networks. These fungi might look small, but they play a HUGE role in improving soil and plant health. Their presence signals a thriving fungal network below the soil surface, which is key to healthy plants and a vibrant ecosystem. 🌿 Mushrooms are part of a vast mycorrhizal network that works in harmony with plant roots to: ✨ Boost nutrient supply – The fungal network beneath the soil improves the supply of superior nutrients. 💧 Improve water intake – Their intricate underground web helps plants absorb water more efficiently, even during dry conditions. 🌞 Reduce plant stress – By enhancing nutrient absorption and moisture retention, mushrooms help plants withstand environmental stresses like drought and disease. All of this contributes to stronger, more resilient crops, healthier soils, and a more sustainable future for agriculture. 🌍 #sustainablefarming #agricultureinindia #farmtotable #directfromfarm #nutrientdense #chemicalfree #freshvegetables #urbanfarmsco #soilhealthmatters #kisstheground #carbonpositive

On this #WorldOzoneDay, let's remind ourselves of the crucial role the ozone plays in safeguarding our planet. Together, let’s continue the fight to reduce harmful emissions and preserve this protective shield for future generations. #mindfuleating #sustainableeating #urbanfarmsco #SustainableFarming #FarmToTable #EcoFriendly #AgricultureInnovation #GreenFarming #soilhealthmatters #climateaction #netcarbonzero #kisstheground #agricultureinindia #freshfromfarm
