At Pabhoi Greens, our Vision is to safeguard indigenous seeds. To achieve this, we have started the first organic seed production and seed bank in North East (NE) India. Our primary goal is to replicate the best adaptable varieties in our region. We aim to provide all farmers with locally adapted seeds and to train communities in organic and integrated farming and seed breeding.
THE TEAM
We are a team of about 30 like-minded people applying sustainable agricultural practices in Assam through inhouse techniques and external collaborations. Pabhoi Greens has led the way in Organic Heirloom Seed production in the entire NE India and is helping farmers to achieve Seed Sovereignty through knowledge sharing across different ethnic communities.
Neelam Dutta
Managing Director and Founder
I have been farming for 19 years. For the last 17 years, I have been focusing on organic farming. I am trained on Biodynamic Farming and natural Vedic farming. Since 2015 I embarked an ongoing learning process with Sativa Rheinau, an organic seed company in Switzerland.
Thereafter, organic seed production and breeding became an integral part of Pabhoi Greens too. Having received an Ambassadors Grant from World Food System Centre (WFSC) by the ETH Zurich, I have visited many organic and Biodynamic seed companies like Bingenheimer Saatgut in Germany, Reinsaat in Austria, the University of Wageningen in the Netherlands and worked extensively with Sativa in Switzerland. Pabhoi Greens has also become a pioneer for single breeding of carps in northeast India. Further, we have a continued social impact via training women groups, young people, farmers and many students over the years.
