Ms Saru is from a beautiful village in Mayiladuthurai, Tamilnadu. She got in touch with HOOGA Seed Keepers Collective through our instagram seed_keepers_collective and shared her experience, aspirations and interest in supporting farming and farmers. Saru is a social entrepreneur who has her business named ‘Magizham’ , which is acting as a platform to market food products, skin and hair care products and spices directly sourced from small and marginal farmers in Tamilnadu. She did her under-graduation in agriculture and an MBA in marketing. With her passion, interest and inclination towards protecting native seeds, she started growing, multiplying and saving seeds. HOOGA has shared rare seeds collected during the seed yatra and Ms Saru is taking it very cautiously to grow them and contribute to this movement of growing own food from native seeds.
