Farm Shiksha - Chennai, India

They aim to create a modern knowledge bank of organic farming practices, from cultivating fruits and vegetables to serving the customers with quality food without using fertilizers and pesticides. Located 50 km away from Chennai, Farm Shiksha can be reached in an hour and a half by road.
