Kheti-Badi

Kheti-Badi (kheti-badi.com) is a marketplace to buy organic / naturally grown farm produce from farmers. We believe that the Organic Farming, which is also known as low input/low cost farming, is the ultimate solution for the farmers, especially smallholder farmers. It is 100% based on locally available resources, less irrigation and improves soil quality hence farm yield over the time. Whereas in conventional farming, Farmers keep spending on seeds, fertilizers and pesticides which damage the soil’s fertility over the time and hence yields. As a result, farmers do not make profit, it forces them to lend money and eventually provoke them to give up their life. Organic farming is not a new concept; in fact it is the oldest way of doing farming. Organic farming is very much native to India, our ancestors got it right way back as Indian subcontinent was 100% Organic producer until 1960's. China is another country which has similar history. The farmers of these two countries are farmers of 40 centuries and it is organic farming that sustained them.
