Against the Odds
GEMS 18128
In the lush hills of Araku, this farmer had a long journey. His coffee farm was mismanaged, with tall coffee bushes, poor yield, and dense weeds before joining Naandi and learned about regenerative agriculture and best practices in coffee management. Fueled by passion and determination to improve his coffee plot, he rolled his sleeves and dug in —, pruning to maintain optimal height, and clearing weeds that presented themselves as competition affecting coffee bushes' growth and development.
The difference was phenomenal—juicier and bigger cherries, an improved yield, greener coffee bushes, and richer soil quality. The true reward came as he observed each coffee bush have a healthy life, "These coffee bushes are like children to me,” he reflected.
