Krishi Naturals aims to improve the livelihood of marginal farmers by making dairy farming of native cow breeds a source of sustainable livelihoods. By using native cows, the dairy produced is enriched with vitamins and minerals and free of any harmful ingredients that packaged milk might have. Krishi hopes to not only increase yields from these animals but to further empower rural farmers to transition to organic farming at large.
Beyond the farmers, Krishi distributes organic products to customers, specifically targeting urban populations. By using this method, it aims to raise awareness about the importance of organic farming not only for the role it plays in sustaining rural farming practices but also for its health benefits for the general population.
Ketan Parmar, founder of Krishi Naturals, believes organic farming can be a solution to the insufficient incomes and poor milk yields faced by small-scale dairy farmers in India today.
