Jordyn Katz presents Avasar, offering a glimpse into the daily life of an Indian cattle farmer and his collaboration with the non-profit organization Krimanshi. This organization wages a multifaceted battle against climate change, food waste, poverty, and inhumane treatment of animals.
In this short film, Krimanshi focuses on developing sustainable cattle feed from food waste, revealing its numerous benefits. The farmer, located in Jodhpur, India—an area heavily reliant on cattle—narrates his struggle to ensure the well-being of both his family and his livestock while highlighting how Krimanshi aids in this endeavor. What distinguishes the film, besides the innovative approach of Krimanshi itself, is the heartfelt story of the farmer. His deep care for his family and cattle, combined with the tangible impact of Krimanshi’s feed, leaves a lasting impression. The film emphasizes the importance of embracing Krimanshi’s innovative feed and goals, making it a valuable resource for farmers worldwide. I award this film a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
