For farmers

Joining, testing and selling.

Who can register?

Any farmer who can give one acre to the protocol for a full season. You keep farming your own land; BhoomiSeva guides you.

What does it cost?

Registration and the Harit Kranti 2.0 Farmer Membership are free. The protocol inputs for your acre are bought for the season. Protocol finance is coming soon, and early registrants get it first.

How do I get my soil tested?

Book a test at your nearest Kendra or soil-testing camp. Bhu-Vision gives you an ICAR-certified Soil Health Card in about 45 minutes.

Do I have to stop using chemicals at once?

No. The fail-safe transition blends chemical and organic inputs first and reduces chemicals in planned stages over three years, so the yield stays safe.

Who buys my produce?

BhoomiAahar buys produce that follows the protocol at the farm gate, at mandi +10% and more, at a quality-linked price agreed before you sow.

What if bad weather damages my crop?

Your crop is covered by climate-resilience insurance for the season. Claims are assessed and settled after harvest, where needed.

For families

Indexed food, traced to the farmer.

What do the three numbers on the pack mean?

Every lot carries a Soil Index, a Chemical Index and a Nutrition Index: how healthy its soil was, how clean it is of chemical residue, and how much nutrition it delivers.

How do I know who grew my food?

Scan the QR code on the pack. It shows the farmer, the field and the checkpoints logged for that batch.

How does pre-booking work?

You reserve a season basket. Your booking tells a farmer what to grow and fixes his price before sowing. Your payment completes only after the food reaches you.

Is the food tested for chemical residue?

Yes. Every lot is lab tested for residue before it reaches you, and the result is part of its Chemical Index.

Where can I buy BhoomiAahar food?

Pre-book a season basket on this site, or order through the BhoomiSathi link shared by your chemist.

For chemists and partners

Roles, earnings and investment.

Do chemists need to hold stock?

No. Rural and urban chemists share the BhoomiSathi link. There is no stock, staff or rack space needed.

How do chemists earn?

Chemists earn a referral commission on purchases by the farmers and families they connect, for as long as those customers stay connected. Rates are shared at registration, under the partner agreement.

Is partner registration free?

Yes. Registering as a rural or urban chemist partner is free.

What does it take to run a BhoomiSeva Parivartan Kendra?

A ₹6 lakh setup fee, including GST. You guide about 300 farmers from soil test to buyback, with training, equipment and brand support included.

What is a District Partner?

You invest in, and majority-own, a district company that runs three Kendras for about 900 farmers. BhoomiSeva brings the protocol, technology, training, brand and market.

What is Harit Kranti 2.0?
