Red Otter Farms’ Post

Transcript

Agriculture a critical sector for India, employing over 55% of our workforce. But the average age of our farmer was 50 in 2016. Traditional farms use excessive amounts of water and harmful chemicals, damaging the environment and producing food that is toxic. But how then are we going to feed our growing population in a safe, sustainable way? And how can we give the younger generation to return to farming? Since 2016, Red Auto Farms has worked with a unique solution, Soilless Farms with hydroponics and aquaponics. We have spent years blueprinting this water efficient, pollution free nano farm model that combines new age science with traditional wisdom. With exponentially increased yields and 0 use of harmful fertilizers and pesticides, these farms promise greater incomes with reduced impact on our environment. Our vision now to create a massive network of nano farms operated by marginalized smallholding farmers. We partner with each farmer, empowering them with the knowledge to manage the nano farm and supporting them in growing the produce as well as providing access to the consumer. The impact on the ground is undeniable. Each nano farm saves over 300,000 liters of water and reduces carbon dioxide release over 1.6 tons every year. Farmers transform into micro entrepreneurs and the consumer gets chemical free produce at a lower cost. In just one year we've managed to build 15 nano farms, but to make a real impact we need to grow and grow fast. Our target in the next five years, 10,000 farms, 1,000,000 in the decade after. Partner with us to make this journey possible.
