Lot GEMS 18016: Fostering Soil Life

Situated on the Eastern Ghats, 1,100 meters above the sea level, this three-acre coffee farm busy with the chirping birds has been a part of this farmer family's history. Under a canopy of diverse fruit and forest trees, this farmer's coffee bushes grow stronger every year thanks to the shift towards soil enhancing practices that healed the land.

Application of Naandi’s in-house bio-inputs and mulching – a soil restoration practice –provides nourishment back into the topsoil improving soil quality and texture. This key practice for the farmer made a remarkable difference as the soil regained its earthy smell and moisture – a sign of restored healthy microbial life –, with improved yield year after year. These practices not only improved his returns but also deepened his connection with the land.

The farmer plans to develop more coffee farms and, in the future, build a home for his family. He is committed to growing coffee that not only delights the senses and sustains his profits but also nourishes the soil.
