Over 30 kids followed Kavya and listened to her curiously. A tiny kitten befriended the group for the entire duration of their farm trail.

This is a regular day at A Green Venture AGV , a Bangalore based initiative making sustainable living accessible and informative through outdoor workshops and organic farm visits. I always loved nature and often tried my hands on composting. After spending a few years working for startups in this space, I wanted to go beyond that. I wanted to provide unique solutions and experiences to people. AGV conducts educational tours at organic farms. The ultimate goal of this humble eco-enterprise is to provide immersive learning experiences and readily available options to start natural living.

Through its farm visits, AGV not just provides a glimpse of sustainable living but also gives an opportunity for people to become farmers themselves.
