#GroundUpStories | The Agariyas are traditional salt pan workers who have been cultivating salt in Little Rann of Kachchh (LRK) for hundreds of years. In February 2023, eviction notices were issued to many of them. According to the notice, all Agariyas who had not registered under an official survey and settlement (S&S) process were considered illegal encroachers on a wild ass sanctuary notified under the Wild Life Protection Act of 1972. Nonprofits, in association with government agencies, have tried to help by providing facilities that include drinking water, seasonal hostels for children of Agariya and nomadic communities, treatment for occupational health hazards, safety kits, subsidised solar-powered pumps, and medical camps inside the Rann. Ironically, the state government on the one hand is trying to improve the lives of this community while on the other is depriving them of their land.

Tea is uniquely blessed and influenced by nature. Sunshine, rain, humidity and soil are the orchestra of nature that makes for your tea symphony. Each production stage - handpicking, steaming, rolling, drying, styling and grading - is carefully executed to retain the fingerprint of nature. In addition, our founder’s philosophy that business is a matter of human service drives what we do. In addition to supporting conservation and research initiatives, we pledge 15% of our pre-tax profits to kindness – helping communities in need with their education, livelihoods, healthcare and disabilities.

Meet Shashti Sahay. She is a temporary tea worker at Alibahar Tea Estate. Her husband passed away 5 years ago, leaving her to raise two daughters in a small hut provided by the estate. Tragically, her eldest daughter's face was disfigured by an illness shortly after birth. Shashti earns a weekly wage of 300 BDT and receives 5 kgs of rice every Sunday. Despite this, she can only afford two basic meals a day, consisting mainly of rice with "Aloo bharta" (Mashed potatoes) or, at times, just rice with salt. During a survey, Shashti made a humble request to our team: she asked for seeds and some poultry, hoping to sell the produce to secure a better livelihood for her family. Her wish is simple yet profound—a desire to ensure she can provide at least two proper meals for her children. #BoxOfEquality #MCN #SupportUnderprivileged #TeaWorkers #CommunitySupport #RuralEmpowerment #PovertyAlleviation #SustainableDevelopment #SocialImpact #EqualityForAll #EmpowerCommunities #EndPoverty #HumanRights #WomenEmpowerment #CommunityResilience #EconomicEmpowerment #HopeForAll

You read that right. According to the CDC, only 1 in 10 American adults is eating the recommended daily serving of fruits and vegetables. This alarming statistic highlights a significant gap in our nation's health and wellness. Even more concerning is the fact that those living at or below the poverty level are even less likely to get the nourishment they need from fresh produce. At Planet Harvest, we are committed to changing this narrative. Our mission is to improve these numbers by ensuring that more fresh produce makes its way from our nation's farms to our communities' tables. By addressing inefficiencies in the supply chain and reducing food waste, we aim to make fresh produce more accessible to everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Let's work together to close the nutrition gap and promote healthier eating habits across the country. Join us in making a difference one bite at a time. #FruitsAndVeggies #FreshProduce #FoodAccessForAll #PlanetHarvestMission #HealthyEating #ProduceWithPurpose
