HyFun Launches Innovative Potato Farming Initiative Customized to Individual Agro-Climatic Conditions
In a significant move towards revolutionizing potato farming, HyFun has handpicked 30 farmers to participate in a transformative initiative aimed at reshaping the landscape of potato cultivation. This pioneering program, known as HyFarm Paathshala, is set to support HyFarm’s Potato Contract Farmers across Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, introducing innovative techniques and sustainable practices to boost productivity and profitability. What sets this initiative apart is the collaboration with renowned international potato scientists and specialists who will be assisting throughout the process, bringing global expertise to local farms.
Establishing Personalized Model Farms, Adapting to Local Conditions: A Blueprint for Success
At the heart of this initiative is the establishment of Model Farms in every micro-pocket of the region. To operationalize this initiative, HyFarm Paathshala will establish model farms, comprising 30 plots, across the key potato-growing regions of North Gujarat, particularly focusing on Sabarkantha and Banaskantha districts. Each farm will demonstrate cutting-edge interventions designed to address the specific agro-climatic challenges and opportunities of its location, aiming to reduce cultivation costs while increasing yields in a manner tailored to local conditions. By showcasing these advanced techniques, HyFun aims to inspire and educate the selected 30 farmers, enabling them to adopt more sustainable and profitable farming practices. The involvement of international potato experts will ensure that the latest global best practices are implemented and adapted to local conditions.
HyFarm Paathshala: A Phygital Learning Revolution

Embracing Technology for Precision Agriculture
The initiative heavily relies on cutting-edge technology to drive its success. IoT (Internet of Things) devices and precision agriculture techniques are being deployed to monitor and optimize various aspects of potato cultivation. These advanced tools will enable the 30 farmers to make data-driven decisions, leading to more efficient use of resources and improved crop management.
