Akshayakalpa Farms and Foods Private Limited

Founded in 2010, Akshayakalpa Farms and Foods Private Limited is India’s pioneering certified organic dairy and food enterprise, dedicated to transforming agriculture through regenerative farming, animal welfare, and farmer prosperity. Guided by the belief that healthy soil, healthy animals, healthy farmers, and healthy consumers are intrinsically connected, Akshayakalpa has built an integrated farm-to-consumer ecosystem that delivers nutritious, ethically produced food while creating sustainable livelihoods for farming families.

Today, Akshayakalpa is recognized as a leader in the production of Certified Humane® Free-Range eggs and Certified Humane® milk, setting new benchmarks for responsible food production in India through internationally recognized animal welfare standards.

Building a Community of Humane Farmers

Akshayakalpa works with a growing network of independent family-owned farms across Karnataka, including Tiptur, Channarayapatna, Hassan, Chikkamagaluru, Chitradurga, Mandya, Ramanagara, and Tumkur. These producer-farmers form the foundation of Akshayakalpa’s regenerative farming model, combining traditional farming knowledge with scientific management and global best practices.

Each farm is carefully selected, trained, monitored, and continuously supported to implement high standards of animal welfare, farm management, biosecurity, organic farming, and regenerative agriculture. This collaborative approach empowers smallholder farmers to adopt sustainable practices while improving productivity, profitability, and long-term resilience.

Commitment to Certified Humane® Standards

Animal welfare lies at the heart of Akshayakalpa’s farming philosophy. The company adheres to the internationally recognized standards established by the Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC) program for both Free Range Laying Hens and Dairy Cows.

Free Range Egg Production

Across Akshayakalpa’s free-range poultry farms, hens are raised in environments that allow them to express their natural behaviours while ensuring optimal health and welfare. This includes:

– Meaningful daily access to outdoor ranges for foraging, scratching, dust bathing, and exploration.
– Comfortable housing designed with appropriate stocking densities.
– Continuous access to nutritious feed and clean drinking water.
– Comprehensive preventive healthcare and robust biosecurity practices.
– Responsible for veterinary care throughout the production cycle.
– Compassionate handling practices that minimize stress and support animal wellbeing.

Humane Dairy Farming

Akshayakalpa has expanded its Certified Humane® certification beyond eggs to include dairy farming, reinforcing its commitment to responsible livestock management.

Certified dairy farms follow HFAC requirements by providing:

– Comfortable and hygienic housing.
– Balanced nutrition and unrestricted access to clean water.
– Preventive veterinary care and health monitoring.
– Responsible breeding and animal management practices.
– Low-stress handling promotes overall wellbeing throughout the animal’s life.

The certification ensures complete traceability, responsible management, and product integrity from farm to consumer.

For Akshayakalpa, humane certification is more than regulatory compliance—it reflects the company’s core philosophy that ethical treatment of animals creates healthier ecosystems, superior-quality food, and stronger farming communities.

To support this vision, Akshayakalpa provides farmers with:

– Continuous technical guidance on dairy and free-range poultry management.
– Capacity building through structured training programs.
– Regular farm audits, welfare assessments, and performance monitoring.
– Support for certified organic and regenerative farming practices.

Humane animal care forms one pillar of Akshayakalpa’s broader regenerative agriculture model. By integrating livestock management with soil regeneration, biodiversity conservation, and responsible resource utilization, the company enables farming systems that restore ecosystems while producing nutritious food.

The regenerative farming approach emphasizes:

– Building healthy, biologically active soils through organic practices.
– Enhancing biodiversity across agricultural landscapes.
– Efficient and responsible use of natural resources.
– Circular farming systems minimize waste.

Since its inception, Akshayakalpa has remained committed to empowering smallholder farmers by helping them transition to sustainable, ethical, and economically viable farming systems. Through continuous technical support, market access, quality assurance, and international certifications, the company enables farming families to improve incomes while preserving natural resources.

As the network expands, Akshayakalpa continues to onboard new producers and products under its humane certification program, strengthening India’s leadership in responsible food production.

Delivering Trust to Consumers

Today’s consumers increasingly seek food that is produced with transparency, responsibility, and respect for animals and the environment.
