OUR FARM

This initiative is inspired by the vision of Akshayakalpa Organic to create

awareness about the impact of making the right food choices. The program
strives to equip young school students with verified information about
nutrition by subject matter experts and provide them with invaluable
hands-on experience to get to the roots of their food.

Designed in a way to pique the interest in young minds about the significance
of nutrition, this interactive program empowers them to make informed
choices about the food they eat and develop healthy eating habits from an
early age – benefitting the students’ overall well-being. Through informative
farm-visits, students can delve into the origins of their food, learn how it is
grown and learn the art of selecting food that is beneficial for them.

These immersive encounters set the stage for a generation of eaters who are
conscious about what they put on their planet and its impact on the planet too!
