Anindita Dasgupta

Founder of Heal Thy Earth, a Natural Integrated Farm

Anindita Dasgupta has spent the majority of her career in the consulting industry advising a breadth of clients from India and abroad on technology and process management. In 2018, Anindita set up a 5-acre natural integrated farm in Birbhum in rural Bengal with the intent of exposing locals to good agricultural and eco-friendly livelihood generation practices.

Through her endeavour, Anindita seeks to promote the conservative practices and lifestyles of indigenous farmers, and reduce their reliance on unsustainable means of food production and livelihood generation. Instead, drawing from her exposure to contemporary corporate discourses on sustainability, she attempts to empower farmers to embrace their traditional slow-but-steady cultivation practices and regain confidence in spontaneous, regenerative farming based lifestyles that have been used by indigenous communities to sustain themselves for centuries.
