Your Impact
Give your meal a tasty makeover with this highly nutritious Jhingora Rice! This crop needs very little pampering, being water prudent and growing in the hardiest terrain, it yields the maximum nutrition per acre, and is perfect;y suited to the delicate and degraded ecosystem of the Himalaya. By supporting Umang, you're backing an organisation focused on improving the lives and livelihoods of marginalised farming communities negatively impacted by the degradation of fragile ecosystems in the Himalaya. The establishment of on-farm and off-farm pro-poor business ventures run primarily by hill women of the Kumaon region, is helping to improve food security, economic security, and check out-migration in the region. The primary shareholders of Umang are members of Self Help Groups located in over 200 tiny hamlets spread across the Gagas and Kosi river basins. These SHGs form the bedrock of livelihood development and sustainable change in the region. By supporting Umang, you too become a part of the movement to improve the economy and ecology of the Himalayan community.
Why We Like It
Including millets in your diet is one of the best things you can do for your health. Though tiny, these hardy grains are packed with nutrients. They are also among the most climate-friendly grains in the world. We also love that Umang is run by a woman-only unit where women from the local Himalayan community are employed and trained in order to build their capacity and better their chances of employability.
Serene Says
If you want to go for something nutritious and healthy, switching the rice you use is a great solution! Cook it as upma, khichdi or plain rice and give your regular meal a healthy twist.
