Kheyti

Kheyti focuses on providing tech solutions for small farmers. It creates and implements affordable farming tools to boost crop yield and predictabilit Read morey for these farmers. The core solution, the 'Greenhouse-in-a-box', is a modular greenhouse along with full-stack services that use significantly less water, produce seven times more food, and ensure a stable income for the farmers. It's designed to fit just 2% of their land and costs 50% less than regular greenhouses. This organisation installs these greenhouses, supplies quality seeds and fertilizers, and provides crucial knowledge and advisory support through field officers and mobile-based guidance. Its goal is to aid small-scale farmers, who often face challenges due to climate-affected harvests. Currently, it is working with 1000 farmers across six Indian states and has 1500 enrolled in its programme. Its ambitious aim is to positively impact 50,000 farmers by 2027, acknowledging that small steps lead to significant large-scale change.

Kheyti's vision is to reach one million farmers by 2033, helping smallholder farmers increase their incomes and adapt to climate change through affordable greenhouse technology and support services.

Kheyti won the 2022 Earthshot Prize in the Protect and Restore Nature category and has grown from helping 50 farmers in its initial proof of concept to over 7,000 farmers across multiple states in India.
