At Urvarasa, we are connecting the earth and the heart for the well-being of all species on our planet.
We empower communities of forward-thinking farmers to shift to ethical and natural plant-based farming practices and link them to mindful consumers. Our unique model cares for the environment and promotes the ethical treatment of animals while ensuring optimal nutrition and human health.
Initiated by Jeeva Bhavana, we seek to empower farmers with ethical and sustainable agricultural practices. We want to ensure farmers can care for themselves and their families while providing food sovereignty for the Indian population.
Today, 77% of global agricultural land is used for animal agriculture while providing only 18% of the world’s caloric supply. Animal-based food systems are highly inefficient, unsustainable and destructive to the animals, ecosystems, planet and us. Plant-based economies are the inevitable future, and we ensure that farmers have the right resources to adapt and build that future.
Animals living on the farm are not bred, exploited or sent to slaughter. They are cared for by the farmers who ensure that their species-specific needs are satisfied.

Our farmers are fairly paid for their knowledge, experience, and hard work. They take care of the seed and soil health, by adhering to true natural farming techniques.
Our farmers learn the value of the conscious, nurturing and holistic approach embodied in the charter. Currently, we work with a select group of farmers in Maharashtra to ease coordination and work on establishing suitable and reliable distribution channels for their produce.
The Government provides large amounts of subsidies to animal-based farming systems. At the same time, animal products contribute to only a tiny percentage of our dietary requirements and nutrition, all the while raising multiple health and environmental concerns. We aim to build a sustainable model for agriculture to ensure we meet the needs of a growing population with a strong focus on an optimal whole-foods plant-based diet which is better for our health and our planet.
These factors make for a particular set of challenges and thus we need your support to ensure that we can bring natural farming to the forefront for better health, a cleaner environment and happier animals.
