Caring Citizens For A Better Planet

We turn agricultural and rural challenges into thriving opportunities through solutions in sustainable farming, entrepreneurship and thought leadership.

Our Vision

In many parts of rural India, the landscape is marked by declining soil health, vanishing livelihoods, malnourished children, and fractured market systems. Farmers struggle to survive. Women remain invisible in value chains. Youth leave home in search of opportunity.

But at BPCF, we don’t just acknowledge the challenges,

We see possibility.

In every neglected nursery, we see a future-ready hub for soilless farming, seedling innovation, and training.

In every school meal, we see a way to connect clean, local produce to nutrition and dignity.

In every rural woman, we see an agri-entrepreneur and a leader.

In every young person, we see a regenerative farmer or a tech-enabled changemaker.

Founded by practitioners in sustainable agriculture and social enterprise, BPCF is building a new narrative for rural India — one where farming is viable, entrepreneurship is inclusive, and sustainability is central to progress.
