Promoting Healthy Living and Sustainable Livelihoods
Ecogreenunit Foundation successfully conducted a training programme on Microgreens Cultivation for Homemakers in Bengaluru, with the objective of promoting healthy food habits, home-based cultivation, and entrepreneurial opportunities for women.
The training introduced participants to the basics of microgreens cultivation, including seed selection, growing media preparation, sowing techniques, watering, harvesting, and hygienic handling. Microgreens are young, edible seedlings that can be grown in small spaces such as balconies, terraces, and kitchen gardens, making them ideal for urban households.
The programme highlighted the nutritional value of microgreens, their potential role in a balanced diet, and their growing market demand among health-conscious consumers. Participants also learned how microgreens cultivation can become a low-space, home-based income-generating activity with opportunities to supply fresh produce to households, health-conscious customers, restaurants, and local markets.
Through this initiative, Ecogreenunit Foundation aims to empower homemakers with practical skills, encourage healthy living, promote urban farming, and create sustainable livelihood opportunities for women.
