Petrichor farms is a GoodEarth initiative in regenerative agriculture. 

Unscientific farming practices lead to land degradation over time resulting in desertification and consequent global climate change.

Regeneration of the land requires great effort and care. Restoring a damaged ecosystem in farmland requires careful design, planning and integration of various aspects of the fragile ecosystem. This plays a key role in either the success or the project’s failure.

From geological parameters such as soil porosity and permeability to engineering for efficient drainage, storage and recharge. From selection, preparation and care for plants to both generate the ecosystem as well as provide the economic benefits of the same, livestock to insects, all the details have to be interwoven into a complex design, which has to be then executed and maintained over the years.

Maintenance of farms is critical as improper practices can undo all the work within months or prevent the real effort from taking off. It is similar to performing a complex surgery with due diligence.

Vagaries of nature such as unseasonal rains, drought or even strong wind that are beyond anyone’s control, will cause significant damage to any farm. Thus, it is important that one is equipped to handle such contingencies through a well-designed farm and a trained and an equipped team.

Petrichor’s effort is, thus, building a professional team capable of holistic design and management of farm lands, thereby, produce safe and nutritious food that would reach the consumer at an affordable price.
