#FarmDost | Take pride in farming. Join Us in Cultivating the world.

#FarmDost

A TAFE initiative

Our mission is quite simple: cultivate the world by helping farming communities around the world prosper.

Utilizing years of market expertise, we endeavor to improve agriculture at the grassroots, to make sure that sustainable farming becomes a common practice world over.

In collaboration with other world class companies, we constantly innovate to provide solutions to consumers in discerning international markets. From diesel engines to luxury car door panels, from hydraulic pumps, to gears and transmission components, from panel instruments to vehicle batteries, TAFE goes well beyond farming and into community building.

We also pride ourselves on always being environment friendly and green conscious, before they became buzzwords. We also believe in the spirit of community, and thus actively engage with customers through various community outreach programs. One of the ways we spread knowledge and share resources is through JFarm, an adaptive agri-research centre which plays a proactive role in increasing farm yields, viability and sustainability, empowering farmers with new technologies in propagating, planting and protecting a variety of crops.

TAFE's 'Be a #FarmDost' initiative aims to bring the invisible farming community back into our collective psyche. We want to inspire people - urban, rural, young, old - to experience what a farmer does, albeit in a small way. We want people to feel the thrill of warm earth between one's fingers. The joy of nurturing a seed until it springs to life. The humility of knowing that the earth will reward the efforts put in. And finally to feel the bliss of harvesting a crop.

We hope that in the process of cultivating a small patch of land, people will empathize with the farmer whose efforts of cultivating the land, feeds the nation.
Join the initiative. Take a tray. Fill it with earth. And plant something in it. Nurture it, care for it, watch it grow and relish the pride that comes with doing so.

Read up on farmers and develop a greater understanding and appreciation of the work they do. If possible, meet farmers and learn about their life firsthand.

Finally, visit FarmDost.com and follow and contribute to the Be a #FarmDost pages on Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, YouTube, Flickr and Instagram and help encourage others and take this initiative forward.

TAFE will also distribute seed kits. These kit contains sachets with three kinds of seeds in them - Spinach, Cluster beans and Ladies's fingers - that can be easily grown at home. It will also contain an instruction manual that will provide instructions to grow the plant while highlighting how simple it was to grow these plants, if done right.
Experience the joys and rewards of farming.

Help TAFE bring farmers to the forefront and celebrate them in the public sphere and rediscover within ourselves the latent admiration and respect for farmers and their profession that already resides within each and every one of us.

We extend this invitation to everyone to be a #FarmDost and join us in cultivating the world.
