Community Driven
Infrastructure
An interconnected framework helping
farmers attain true circularity in agriculture
Small/marginal farmers make up more than 80% of total farmers in India. Globally, small
landholding farmers produce 29% of the world’s food.
However, in the next few decades, food demand is expected to increase by up to 98% by 2050.
Unfortunately, climate change and economic disadvantages make it harder for more than one-
quarter of farmers worldwide to increase food production in a way that is environmentally
sustainable and profitable.
Our Community Driven Infrastructure (e-CDI) framework integrates sourcing, production and
consumption within the rural agri-economy, helping achieve true circularity. Our platform will
connect farmers to tech, resources and markets and will plug into existing structures where it
will rewire and revitalize the rural economy.
e-CDI Special Features:
-
The cluster will be formed at village level and will include two to three villages (depending on the spread of member farmers).
-
The ownership of the FPC will be managed and maintained by selected Self-Help Groups (SHG) of women.

CDI modules will be digitally-powered to bring precision to farming operations and monitoring.
