Lot GEMS 5024: Learning Legacy: Rose, tropical fruit, dark cherry, cocoa, nuts
Coffee has been the primary source of income for 43-year-old Seedhari Thokaraju and Gunnamma since 2014. However, the quest to enhance their yield and secure competitive prices for their coffee led them to join Naandi in 2019. Selected by his peers in Sonaba as the village volunteer, he took on the role of imparting vital regenerative agriculture techniques to fellow farmers.
As a committed mentor, Thokaraju led several meetings and hands-on training sessions. His efforts have significantly bolstered the adoption of sustainable practices in the village. Recognizing that learning is key for sustained progress, Thokaraju leads by example, embodying the principles he teaches.
His dedication culminated in the creation of a truly exceptional coffee this year, boasting a rich tapestry of flavors including raisin, grape, rosehip and strawberry. This remarkable brew, with its nuanced profile and lingering aftertaste, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of farmer training and community empowerment.
