What is Taru Naturals?
In the vibrant rural landscapes of Maharashtra, a transformative social enterprise is championing the cause of small-scale farmers. Taru Naturals, a fair-trade network comprising over 10,000 small-scale farmers across India, is dedicated to building livelihoods through natural farming and connecting farmers to markets with healthy, pure, and organic produce.
Their Social Goodness:
Commitment to Sustainable Livelihoods
Founded in 2015 by Ruchi Jain, Taru Naturals has a clear mission: to safeguard sustainable rural livelihoods and double the incomes of small-scale farmers. This ambitious goal is
pursued through the promotion of natural farming practices and the establishment of fair-trade markets that ensure farmers receive a just price for their produce. The organization's efforts were recognised in 2021 when it was awarded the 50 Small Businesses Award by the United Nations.
Supporting Self-Sufficient Farmers
Taru Naturals is committed to elevating small farmers into self-sufficient enterprises. By directly sourcing climate-resilient grains, the organisation not only promotes sustainable agriculture but also enhances the resilience of farmers to climate change. This approach ensures that the farmers' livelihoods are not only sustained but thrive in the long run.
A Pioneer of Sustainable Farming
Taru Naturals continues to pioneer initiatives that connect farmers to markets, ensuring that their produce reaches consumers who value healthy, pure, and organic products. The organization's focus on climate-resilient grains and fair-trade practices aligns perfectly with our mission at Boxes of Goodness. We are proud to partner with an organisation in which small-scale farmers are empowered, their incomes are doubled, and sustainable farming is slowly becoming the norm.
