Corporate Professionals Turn Ancestral Land into Thriving Sustainable Farm
Ankur and Rashmi Sachan traded their corporate lives for sustainable agriculture on their ancestral land in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
After working with top companies like Flipkart, SAP, IBM, and the oil and gas sector in Bengaluru, they left to transform 5.5 acres of land into Tuhi Farms, an agroforestry enterprise focused on regenerative, chemical-free agriculture.
The couple's journey from corporate professionals to farmers wasn't easy, they spent months learning about local weather patterns, native soil composition, and eco-friendly cultivation practices.
Tuhi Farms cultivates over 30 varieties of fruits, vegetables, and grains using intercropping methods that naturally repel pests and improve organic biomass.
Ankur and Rashmi prioritize ecological rejuvenation over quick commercial yields, utilizing rainwater harvesting techniques, bio-composting, and natural mulching to conserve moisture and rebuild topsoil.
