Ekta supports smallholder farmers in Northeast India to convert to organic farming, obtain organic certification, and connect to premium organic markets. In partnership with WEA, Ekta and her team at SwitchOn Foundation are helping more than 4,000 organic farmers build profitable, healthy, and resilient agricultural businesses.
Supporting Ekta’s work means supporting thousands of smallholder farmers in India to ensure they have a healthy and resilient future in farming. Ekta’s work is part of a global movement to protect small-scale farming, empower women’s role in farming, grow healthy food, and protect ecosystems for us all for our future generations. India’s food system affects all of us, and Ekta’s work is a powerful grassroots model ready to scale.
