Your Impact
Bakri Chaap works to build market linkages for small and micro farmers of Uttarakhand (about 1000 of them) to create a market for their produce - mostly indigenous crops on the verge of extinction. Native varieties of millet, pulses and grains promote regional biodiversity since they are suited to the local micro-climate and are grown using natural techniques and permaculture principles. This means they are intrinsically eco-friendly because they require less water and fertiliser to grow. These grains are naturally nutrient-rich since they are rain- or spring-fed and fertilised with natural manure. The local population is also trained in natural ways of cleaning, processing and packing the produce. The efforts of Bakri Chaap have stemmed out-migration of small farmers who until recently abandoned their lands and moved to towns and cities in search of wage labour.
