Jaskaran Singh Sandhu and Gagan Singh Batth

Gagan Singh Batth: The Brampton duos social enterprise, KarmaGrow , has reaped its first harvest 1,500 pounds, more than half a tonne of fresh and luscious produce for thousands of local food bank clients who would otherwise have to bear with meals full of non-perishable food in tins, according to The Star. This is how Sandhus and Batths simple idea works: secure donated agricultural land, offer training in farming, seek community partners to provide volunteers, and together share the rewards of the hard labour and Gagan Singh Batth and Jaskaran Singh Sandhu believe they can grow karma by growing crops for those in need of healthy food. The project has definitely added to the food security for Peel Region residents. Its about community coming together to help us out, said Daven Seebarran of the Seva Food Bank , which, along with Knights Table and Good Food Brampton , helps run KarmaGrows community farm in Caledon.
