World Food Forum Celebrates Cauvery Calling Farmer Who Quit his Job to Revive His Barren Ancestral Land

Naveen Kumar from Ganagalur, Karnataka, was working as a teacher despite his passion for farming. His family owned five acres of land that had remained barren for a long time. But instead of giving up on it, he chose to revive it. At the age of 28, he quit his job and began farming, starting with tree plantation inspired by Cauvery Calling, and later integrated natural vegetable cultivation. Today, he earns a stable monthly income upwards of ₹90,000 from the very land he brought back to life.
