These five women-led farming initiatives are making an impact in India’s agriculture industry

Hailing from a family of farmers in Kerala, Gitanjali Rajamani quit her corporate job of seven years to go back to her roots. In 2017, she started Farmizen, a startup that allows you to rent a community farmland outside the city to grow your own produce, safely and organically. And when you're caught up in the city life, on-site farmers will take care of your plants. Gitanjali Rajamani started Farmizen with two goals in mind. One was to give city-dwellers fresh, chemical-free produce through the farming experience. The other was to help improve the livelihoods of farmers.
