Don't just consume and be the minimum guy.
We all eat grains and lentils, but have you ever paused to think about the ripple effect of your choices?
Are you simply a consumer, grabbing whatever’s on the shelf?
Or... could you be something more?
Let’s explore the roles each of us can play in supporting sustainable agriculture and reviving native varieties—starting with something as simple as choosing the right kind of grain.
🌱 A Consumer
👉🏼 "Can I have desi rice varieties for my consumption?"
You want good food, but your thought stops at your plate. It's a start, but there's a long way to go.
🌱🌱 A Conscious Consumer
👉🏼 "If I increase the demand for these varieties, more farmers will grow and eventually save seeds."
Now, you’re thinking beyond yourself. You recognize that demand creates supply. Your plate becomes a statement.
🌱🌱🌱 A Conscious Volunteer
👉🏼 "I need to motivate farmers in nearby villages to grow these native rice varieties. I want to be an active part of such campaigns."
You’re no longer just consuming—you’re influencing. You’re supporting farmers with your time, energy, and awareness.
🌱🌱🌱🌱 A Conscious Leader
👉🏼 "I want to organize awareness programs in my town or city, bring in successful farmers and experts, and celebrate their efforts to inspire more."
You're now creating platforms. You’re amplifying voices. You’re a catalyst who brings people together and builds a culture around sustainability.
🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 A Responsible & Conscious Farmer
👉🏼 "I will dedicate 30–50% of my farm to native varieties and share seeds with fellow farmers to make this a mass movement over the next 5 years."
You’re doing the groundwork. You’re the seed-saver, the restorer, the one reviving Bhoomata and Gaumata through action.
Important Note: While we’ve used Desi/Heirloom Rice as an example, this approach applies to any practice that supports ecological balance, indigenous knowledge, and self-sustaining communities.
Self-Reflection:
🙏🏻 Ask yourself:
👇🏼 Under which category do I see myself right now?
👇🏼 Is there a possibility for me to upgrade my thinking and move to a different category?
👇🏼 What must I do to grow into that role and contribute more meaningfully?
Never Underestimate the Power of One
1 lamp can light hundreds of lamps.
1 mother can raise a warrior of courage and conviction—like Shivaji Maharaj, Rani Laxmi Bai, Bhagat Singh, or Sardar Patel.
1 dedicated teacher—like Subash Palekar ji, Gopal Bhai Sutaria ji, Binay Kumar Bhaiya, Vijay Ram Garu—can awaken thousands to walk the path of dharma, regeneration, and natural farming.
You never know who you are inspiring.
So, what will your role be?
Will you stay a consumer, or will you step up and shape the future?
Let’s start the conversation. Share your thoughts. Take that one step.
