Cultivating Sustainability: Yelagiri's Boutique Farm Project
The Yelagiri farm project is a multidisciplinary endeavor that addresses the challenges and opportunities of a boutique coffee and spice farm in the picturesque Yelagiri region. DesignOGC conducted thorough research into the unique issues faced by small-sized coffee plantations in this area, shedding light on high production costs, low profit margins, and labor attrition. This research informs project decisions while contributing to a broader understanding of sustainable agriculture and community development. The core of the project lies in community-led spatial design and planning, which involves close consultation with local organizations to create a functional and culturally rich farm layout. The long-term vision includes diversification into sustainable, high-value crops and artisanal products, revitalizing traditional craftsmanship and supporting economic sustainability within the community.
