Millets are nutrient-rich, drought-resistant grains that require 70% less water, preserve soil health, and lower emissions, making them a sustainable choice.
Millets: The Climate Smart Crop
Unlike water-intensive crops such as rice and wheat, millets thrive in dry conditions, making them an ideal choice for regions facing water scarcity. These nutrient-rich grains require 70% less water than conventional cereals, reducing the strain on groundwater resources. Additionally, millets grow without the need for excessive fertilizers and pesticides, leading to healthier soil and lower chemical pollution.
Malavalli, Mandya – home to OrgTree’s factory – is a region that faces water scarcity challenges. Despite this, millets have been cultivated here for generations, proving their adaptability to arid conditions. By supporting millet farming in such areas, we not only help local farmers sustain their livelihoods but also encourage agricultural practices that align with water conservation efforts.

Reducing Carbon Footprint
Industrial agriculture is a major contributor to global warming due to high carbon emissions from irrigation, chemical fertilizers, and long-distance food transportation. Millets, on the other hand, offer a low-carbon alternative as they grow naturally with fewer inputs, requiring significantly less energy to cultivate. By promoting millet-based products, we are actively reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fostering a more climate-friendly food ecosystem.
Sustainability Beyond Farming
At OrgTree, our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just growing millets. We integrate eco-friendly practices at every stage of production. Our factory in Malavalli is designed to operate efficiently with minimal water waste, and we ensure responsible sourcing that benefits both the environment and the community. Additionally, our packaging solutions are carefully chosen to minimize plastic waste, aligning with our vision for a healthier planet.
