How do we Work?
HOOGA team does Seed Yatra once in every three months to forage the extinct, document local knowledge on indigenous sustainable food production and seed saving mechanisms. We identify and work with home gardeners, interested individuals, Women SHGs and farmers across places who are dedicated to Seed Sovereignty, Regenerative Agriculture and Indigenous food production. HOOGA works to collect rare seeds and multiply them with the dedicated support from our associated seed keepers. For every packet of seed from HOOGA, you support our seed keepers’ alternate livelihood for the work done and the whole of HOOGA team, towards working to conserve native seed varieties.
