FROM A FEW<br />
This situation is what got together a group<br />
of like-minded people from Nasik. With<br />
farming backgrounds and education to go<br />
with, we decided it was time to do something<br />
worthwhile for our community. We<br />
understood the basic problem that the<br />
grape growers of Nasik faced. Since most<br />
were marginal farmers (owning farms less<br />
than 2 acres in size) they couldn’t get<br />
enough yield to make profits that could<br />
be put back into processes that would<br />
optimize the efficiency of their farms.<br />
Instead their lands were degenerating,<br />
harvest after harvest. It was a vicious<br />
cycle, with seemingly no way out.<br />
The first step was to stop these farmers from functioning as<br />
individual entities and bring them (and their lands) under one<br />
banner – this meant they were marginal farmers no more. It also<br />
meant more efficiency, access to improved techniques, a<br />
higher yield, considerable profits, and in turn, a better life.
