Florida's citrus industry has faced significant setbacks due to disease and environmental pressures, but Terviva, a San Francisco-based agricultural company founded by Naveen Sikka, may have a solution. Pongamia trees are native to India and well-suited to Florida's climate, requiring minimal water and pesticides. But their true value lies in their beans, which Terviva has developed a patented process to transform into both plant-based protein and sustainable biofuel. This approach offers a new revenue stream for Florida farmers and a more sustainable model for agriculture. By replacing struggling citrus groves with pongamia trees, Terviva is providing a sustainable solution for Florida farmers and contributing to environmental restoration efforts. The cultivation of pongamia trees has the potential to revitalize agricultural land, improve soil health, and reduce the environmental impact of farming.

Mamta joined Terviva in October 2023 and became a crucial bridge for local farmers. She successfully procured 3200 KG of beans by engaging collectors daily, ensuring they followed Terviva's standardized form to reduce quality loss. Her efforts resulted in collectors receiving better prices for their produce. Mamta also trained households on Human Risk and actively purchased 300-500 Kg of beans from weekly local markets (Haat Bazaars), demonstrating her dedication to supporting her community. #terviva #TKSimpact #socialimpact #pongamia
