Changing Life of Farmers from "Debt to Millions" | Kavitha Mishra | TEDxSCEM

Kavitha Mishra, presently part of the agriculture sector says, “We want to encourage farmers to grow forest and fruit trees together as it supports biodiversity and secures their livelihood. Fruit trees generate income monthly or yearly while forest trees are fixed deposits for retirement when it is difficult to do physical work. Above all the monetary reasons, every individual must grow trees for contributing to the betterment of this planet so forest and fruit trees are the best pick!” Mrs. Mishra did masters in Psychology and also holds a Diploma in Computer Science. She got the opportunity to work for an IT company but refused the offer and turned into a farmer. “I belong to an agriculture family therefore since childhood I was interested in farming,” she justifies. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
