Bhu-Samruddhi Agritech Producer Company Limited

You can find us over at Shri Ajay Rustumrao Deshmukh’s house, number 323, in Warud Bk. That is where Bhu-Samruddhi Agritech Producer Company Limited got its start. We are a small group from the village who wanted to see if we could use a bit of modern help to make our farming better. Warud Bk is a place where most people know each other by their first names, and we’ve all been through the same dry spells and good harvests. The "Bhu-Samruddhi" part of our name is just about wanting the earth to be rich and productive again. We noticed that the old ways of farming were getting harder to maintain with the costs going up, so we started looking into different techniques and tools that might help us save some time or water. It’s not like we are some high-tech lab or anything. We are still farmers with dirt under our fingernails and grease on our hands from the machinery. We just meet at Ajay’s place to talk about what we can do differently this year. Maybe it is a new type of seed or a better way to look at the soil health. We don't have a fancy office building, just a room where we keep our records and have tea while we discuss the prices at the market. It is a local effort to keep our village moving forward without losing the connection to the land that has fed us for many years. It is slow work, but it feels right.
