The biggest luxury one can have today is the luxury of growing one’s own produce. Akshara Ananda has joined hands with Sage, the longest-standing name in sustainable food and farming practices in Hyderabad. Their food philosophy of encouraging local and seasonal produce aims at creating unique food experiences and nurturing positive and continuous lifestyle choices.
With Sage as our farming partner, the plot owners will learn how their food is grown and gain a perspective on how their food choices impact them and the environment. It’s an opportunity to create a biodiverse food forest; a zero-waste ecosystem that thrives on innovation, sustainability and green empowerment.
