With each breath they take, residents of Delhi endure the dark and dense smog resulting from crop burning. Even though these practices pollute the air and damage health, many rely on it to clear space for new crops. Determined to address these effects on behalf of urban residents, three young women, Unnathi, Aarushi, and Tarana created a solution to mitigate pollution’s human impacts. Backed by Technovation, they built AgriCultured, a digital app that helps farmers in India increase crop yields sustainably. The three girls recognized and delineated a problem, brainstormed a solution, and engaged an ecosystem of support to bring that solution to life.
