Hi all ! I am from the farmizen team. Let me answer some of the questions raised so far 1. Crop rotation happens in individual beds - when a user is choosing crops to plant in a particular bed - the app provides recommendations based on what was growing in that bed previously, as well as the season. We do see some consumers override the recommendations, and that affects the yield in most cases. 2. Photos of individual beds are drone images stitched and then sliced up in some cases and farmer clicked in some cases 3. Farmhands may be employed by our partner farmer, not by us. 4. This is actually kinda reverse share-cropping - most of partner farmers are small land holding farmers with a couple of acres - who would otherwise earn about $120 per month per acre. Now they make approx 7x of that. Consumers do pay a premium of about 10-20 percent over organic prices - but given the fact that a majority of consumers don’t trust organic labels in case of fresh produce in India (with good reason) - many are willing to pay the premium.
