with rassba farms, ram and his wife lalitha have become full time farmers. the vision that is being pursued now it to build a sustainable model for integrated farming.
The name - rassba
Rassba represents the parents of Lalitha and Ram. “Ra” represents Radha (Ram’s mother), “S” and “S” represents Shankar and Seethamma, and “Ba” represents Rams father – Balagangadhar. While the role of the environment in our nurturing is a factor, some of us are blessed with the love and nurturing that we received from our parents. It is the gratitude to the family that motivated Lalitha and Ram to name the farm RASSBA. Rassba is a celebration of the love and blessings of their parents.
INtegrated farming
While on one end of the spectrum the farm will use high-tech-hi-precision hydroponic farming, on the other end of the spectrum it will develop a food forest – all coexisting on the same land. Until now most commercial farming models are focussed on one, and just one technique of farming. Rassba farms hopes to prove that many techniques of farming can coexist to maximise the potential of the farm. Rassba farms hopes to contribute learnings and experience to address what the world will face in the future, through the implementation of multiple techniques of farming in an integrated manner and on sustainable platforms.
