We educate a lifestyle that attempts to reduce an individual's or society's use of the Earth's natural resources, and one's personal resources. It is often called "earth harmony living" or "net-zero living". As a practitioner of this lifestyle, we often attempt to reduce the ecological footprint (including their carbon footprint) by altering their methods of transportation, energy consumption, and/or diet. And our aim to make peoples sustainable, naturally balanced, and respectful of humanity's symbiotic relationship with the Earth's natural ecology.

🌱 A Story of Grit, Ground Reality, and Unshakable Passion 🌱

Mr. Sathish Kumar is not just a dairy farmer — he is a living example of what a never-give-up attitude truly means. For the past 25 years, he has stayed rooted in dairy farming, facing countless ups and downs that this agri business inevitably brings. Market fluctuations, climatic challenges, and uncertainties tested him time and again — yet his passion for farming never faded.

At the Country Farmss Green Conclave 2025, held at PGP Agricultural College, Namakkal, we were proud to have him as a panelist on IoT in Dairy Farming. While the panel included technologists and domain experts, it was Mr. Sathish Kumar who brought the most valuable perspective — the voice of the farmer who lives the ground reality every single day.

Technology discussions gain true meaning only when they are rooted in real farm experiences. Mr. Sathish Kumar’s insights reminded us that innovation must serve farmers, not overwhelm them. His journey stood as a powerful reminder that resilience, patience, and commitment are the backbone of Indian agriculture.

It was a moment of deep respect and gratitude as he was honoured by
• Prof. Mr. Nandhakumar
