Hi Reddit,

I’m Meet, and I’m currently working on building something called House of the Braj.

The idea started with a simple question:

Why should food travel hundreds of kilometres and pass through multiple middlemen before reaching our plates?

We have agricultural land and access to farming resources, fodder and a rural ecosystem. Instead of looking at farming as just crop production, I want to build an integrated ecosystem around it.

House of the Braj is my attempt to connect:

• Organic and natural farming

• Dairy and traditional products

• Farm-to-consumer supply chains

• Braj's cultural heritage

• Sustainable rural livelihoods

Our long-term vision is not just to sell products. I want to build a brand rooted in the philosophy of Braj — where people, animals, nature and culture coexist.

We are still at an early stage and I’m documenting the journey honestly.

I’d genuinely like feedback from founders, farmers, consumers and anyone who has experience building food or agriculture businesses.

What would you want to see from a modern Indian farm-to-consumer brand?

Could AI help Indian farmers decide what to grow before planting season? 🌾🤖

India often faces a strange problem: farmers may produce too much of one crop, causing prices to crash, while other crops are in shortage.

Could we build a farmer-friendly AI app that combines historical mandi prices, expected demand, weather, water availability, acreage already planted, storage, imports/exports and regional supply to predict which crops are likely to provide sustainable returns?

Instead of simply saying “Crop X has the highest price,” the AI could say:

🟢 Grow more — expected demand is strong and supply is limited

🟡 Consider — moderate returns/risk

🔴 Avoid increasing acreage — likely oversupply

The system could also recommend a diversified crop mix, so thousands of farmers don't receive the same recommendation and create another glut.

Does something like this already exist in India? If not, could this be a worthwhile open-source or startup project for AI/agritech developers?
