Haribhumi Bio-Energy Farmer Producer

We are Haribhumi Bio-Energy Farmer Producer Limited, located over in Pure Lasodhai Kakkepur. Ms Prema Devi is the one who helps keep this whole thing together. This part of the country is pretty quiet, and we like it that way. We work on bio-energy projects, trying to turn what we grow and what we have left over into something that can actually be used for power. It’s a small operation, really just a few of us working out of a local building. Ms Prema Devi has a lot of experience with the local farmers, so she knows who to talk to when we need things moved or processed. The work is mostly outdoors or in open sheds, so we are at the mercy of the sun most days. It gets very hot, but we keep pushing through. We don't have any big corporate goals; we just want to see the energy side of farming grow a bit more in our area. There is a lot of waste that usually just gets burned or left to rot, so we are trying to change that bit by bit. It's not always successful on the first try, but we are learning as we go. People in Kakkepur know where to find us if they have questions about what we are doing with the leftovers. It’s just honest work. We spend our evenings talking about the next day's tasks over a simple meal.
