PUNE: Jayawant Patil, 27, works in an information technology company in Pune four days a week. The rest of the time, thanks to his supportive employer, he’s an organic farmer. For the last two years, he’s been tending to his 2.5-acre farm about 80 km away from Pune. The only connection he had with farming before this stemmed from childhood visits to his uncle’s fields.
