About Industree Foundation
Industree Foundation, established in 2000, is based out of Bengaluru, Karnataka, and has been working to create an organised farm and off-farm enterprise ecosystem for women's economic empowerment in India and Ethiopia for over two decades. Industree, through an ecosystem approach, holistically tackles the root causes of poverty by enabling rural women from marginalised communities to set up collectively owned enterprises linked to the market. This has led to significant economic and social gains for women, substantially increasing incomes, social security, improved resilience to crisis, and positive climate action.
Industree incubates and supports farmer/producer collectives focusing on value addition at source and building traceable supply chains in agroforestry/natural fibre value chains. Presently, Industree’s value chain work focuses on bamboo, banana, and NTFP/biodegradable leaf plates aggregated into 44 collectives spread across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, and Maharashtra. These nature-based solutions promote biodiversity at source and sustainable use of local materials for high-level value addition linked to national and global demand.
Industree focuses on building traceable supply chains by taking a seed-to-market approach that caters to national and global demand.
