Kheyti’s mission

Kheyti helps smallholder farmers battle climate change and earn a steady income in India. The severe, negative impact of climate change on the livelihoods of farmers in southern India is increasing. Kheyti’s “Greenhouse-in-a-Box” is a low-cost, modular greenhouse designed to make farming income more climate-resilient.
