While thousands of FPCs have been formed across India, only a few are visible or celebrated. Many have quietly achieved remarkable milestones - from improving farmer incomes to pioneering organic cultivation, women’s participation, and digital market linkages.

​

Recognition is vital because:

• It motivates grassroots innovation and strengthens collective leadership.

• It encourages transparency, governance, and scalability among FPCs.

• It helps connect high-performing FPCs to investors, buyers, and policymakers.

• It inspires other farmer groups to adopt best practices and sustainable models.

​

Through the FPC Awards, AgriDNA Ventures aims to spotlight those who are shaping the future of farmer-led enterprises.
