Friends Help Farmers Cut Costs and Grow Healthier Crops
Two friends, Amol and Hemant, started a company called Beetle Regen to help farmers.
They teach farmers new ways to grow crops that are better for the environment and save money.
These methods include using less chemicals, improving the soil, and turning waste into helpful materials.
By using these techniques, farmers can grow more food at a lower cost and help the planet too.
Beetle Regen has already helped about 70,000 farmers across India, making farming easier and more sustainable.
Beetle Regen helps farmers adopt regenerative farming practices.
Farmers are reducing costs and increasing yields by 15-20%.
Regenerative practices include reduced tillage and cover cropping.
The program trains women in regenerative practices and financial literacy.
The initiative promotes sustainability and profitability for smallholder farmers.
