Saving Our Soil One Compost Bag at a Time !
How It Works
Bokashi Bran: Bokashi composting uses Bokashi bran
wheat bran/rice bran/ or sawdust with EM(effective microorganisms)– to ferment and pickle any kind of organic food waste even including meat. This process is completely anaerobic, meaning that it does not require any kind of oxygen during the fermentation process. After the fermentation occurs, the food waste is transformed into this acidic organic waste– this waste can NOT be used yet. The organic waste is then buried in a raised bed or an isolated hole in the soil until it neutralizes and is usable. The end product is nutrient-rich compost
Simple
Take a bin, drill some very small holes. Add some sticks, dirt, twigs, and other green waste. Throw in some food waste in.the bucket. Close the lid of the bucket and shake the bucket. Keep adding the food waste until the bucket is full and the compost is ready. Aerobic process.
About Us
Story: How it all started :
My parents decided to take my brother and me on a little road trip to the southern side of Illinois for a quick weekend retreat. As we drove, there were acres of endless lush green farmland, that made quite the beautiful scenery. However, as I noticed onwards, these lush acres of farmland would constantly be interrupted by ugly yellow patches of dead land and soil. Initially, I thought that these dead patches of land were simply just dehydrated patches of land, however, these yellow patches kept growing in size, until I saw a behemoth, an endlessly large yellow patch covering a monstrous acre of farmland, looking completely barren of any life. Curious and alarmed, I pulled out my phone to research the issue. What I discovered shocked me: these barren areas were the result of soil degradation, a problem impacting over 170 countries globally! Though I had heard of this issue before, I never truly grasped its scale. It affects not only the agricultural markets but also small-scale farmers struggling to grow enough crops to feed their families. Moved by this discovery, I knew instantly that this was the problem I wanted to solve.
Our Mission
The Problem
- Soil degradation crisis: Overuse of farmlands is leading to soil infertility and crop production decline
- Impending loss: Estimates indicate a potential loss of 250 million crop-production acres by 2050.
- Feeding our society: The critical question arises – who will sustainably feed our growing population?
- Sadhguru's insight: Renowned spiritual leader Sadhguru highlights the severity, citing 52% degradation of agricultural soils. His research warns of a looming 40% reduction in food production by 2045 for the projected 9.2 billion people.
