BASF launched its ‘Wah re Kisan’ campaign. It is part of the ‘Biggest Job on Earth’ campaign and seeks to advocate for India’s farmers by highlighting five farmers who are making a difference to their communities and to India’s agricultural landscape.
It appointed Annu Kapoor to host the campaign, and the episodes are telecasted exclusively on its YouTube & Facebook channel. Prior to the launch of the series, a month-long social media campaign was run to invite farmers to submit their stories, culminating in the selection of five who provided the most inspiring stories for ‘Wah re Kisan’ campaign.
Livio Tedeschi, president, BASF Agricultural Solutions, said, “Farmers deserve more visibility and appreciation. Here in India, with its diverse geography and farming practices, I am delighted to be able to meet the five innovative farmers who are showcased in “Wah Re Kisan” and I hope many more farmers will be inspired to step up as we work with them to seek out a sustainable future for all in agriculture.”
Giridhar Ranuva, business director, BASF Agricultural Solutions, India, said, “We are excited to launch 'Wah Re Kisan' and celebrate the remarkable achievements of farmers across India. The campaign has currently reached 35 million on social media, and I believe it is important to bring to attention to the challenges faced by farmers. Through the infotainment episodes, we hope to build conversations around the highly creative efforts of our farmers that many living in the city would easily take for granted as we aren’t involved in how our food is produced.”
