Ekgaon, Madurai

India’s rich culture and its bio-diversity creates a magic known as Indian food globally. Our curries have colonised the United Kingdom while our spices have known to have bankrupted the Roman empire. Drawing inspiration from India's 5000 years old agrarian traditions and its food-diversity, EKGAON has created the ‘One Village One World Network’ across 10,000 villages over 13 years. This network prides itself in respecting and nurturing India's traditional knowledge, its indigenous wisdom and its spiritual principles that guide food habits across its diverse regions. EKGAON network works across agricultural value chains from production, processing to distribution in order to bring unique pro...ducts from community-based enterprises. These products include organic produce, d esi -pulses, rare-herbs, spices and staples to markets. EKGAON is leading social enterprise in India that works with a vast range of bio-diverse community-based organic/natural food products using sustainable, equitable and ethical principles. We painstakingly curate our products by exploring, discovering and extracting/growing abundant food variety and thus restoring the forgotten food-diversity through traditional techniques. We use state of the art technology, tools to connect to more then 20,000 farmers and over 20 artisan-producer organisations to bring over 100 premium food products to markets, ensuring quality assurance across the value chain. At EKGAON we work on day-to-day basis with small farmers, mostly women from tribal communities and food artisans to conserve, revive and sustain our bio-diversity and food heritage. We create value-added products using locally sourced food ingredients. Through our enterprise, we aim to build local community capacity to manage the value chain and create premium quality artisan food products. At EKGAON we put farmers first. We strive to share farmers' lives, their stories and encourage them to produce quality crops that are grown with labour of love. We Read More
