Mission
To innovate a sustainable farming technology that allows low-cost production of high-quality vegetables.
Vision
A world free of malnutrition in which healthy & nutritious vegetables are affordable and accessible to everyone.
It All Began
Two IIT-Bombay graduates wanted to do something better with their lives and solve a real-world problem. After a lot of research and groundwork, they identified that the lack of high-quality foods is a global issue that must be addressed immediately.
Understanding the Problem
To understand the issues with our current farming practices, they travelled across the country and interacted with a lot of farmers. They also learnt about India’s diverse climatic conditions and its impact on crop production.
Finding Sustainable Solutions
In March 2018, they started initial research & development on a small rooftop polyhouse. And now, at eekifoods, we're developing a sustainable farming system that will benefit our society for decades to come.
