Based in the Kanha forest of Madhya Pradesh, Earth Focus Foundation (EFF) is a community-led organisation working with farmers from the Baiga and Gond tribal communities.

The Millet Revival Project, in collaboration with the Rainmatter Foundation, aims to reinvigorate our relationship with millets through research, events, community engagement, recipes, and impactful storytelling.
