India's Water Revolution #4: Permaculture for Wastelands at Aranya Farm

Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to India to film the epic work at Aranya Farm in the state of Telangana. We tour the twenty-year-old farm that was established on bare bedrock, and now boasts 11.5 acres of permaculture food forests, which has restored the groundwater table to plentiful abundance. Guided by Aranya's directors Narsanna and Padma Koppula, we visit the surrounding area where the landless poor are now farming their own lands and turning bedrock into bounty using permaculture principles. This video clearly proves that wastelands can be transformed into verdant and productive agricultural systems, improving the lives of many.

Also, it gives hope that a poor-soil land is not permanent and it can be made rich with proper care. Very inspiring.

@gvasilyev84 Жыл бұрын

Indeed it is a deeply touching message that the poor can become rich, instead of reality of one surviving at the expense of another it creates reality of abundance. Society is not a zero-sum game and everyone can win!

That has transformed the areas from drought and famine to food abundance and water table regeneration. . China are also planting a ‘Great Green Wall of China’ that is also Coast to Coast.

These principles should be effected in all drought stricken areas. I just love these videos as they show that there is hope. When people can make a living from their land they don't need to go to work abroad or in sweat shop jobs in cities. It allows them to live in their villages and enjoy a much higher quality of life. It could reverse the descent into lawlessness that is taking place in many parts of Africa because of 'drought' which is causing more and more people to become refugees.

I moved into my property 16 years ago, before I was just lawn (useless for anything) It is now a food forest. Most of the trees were not planted by me, but by bird's droppings. All I did was pull out as much lawn as possible by hand and plant a few things to attract birds. They also brought seeds of many wild plants, that you can eat. I live is a very cold place in the United States, where it can get to -37 degrees C. So it works in dry land and land that freezes.

Down south in Tamilnadu water is sucked to the core till the water table is dry. No effort is taken to conserve rain water though there's abundance of rainfall. Only now there's awareness with in the public to harvest rain water and desilting of the water bodies. Mr Narsanna and Mrs Padma are doing a Great job to poor down trodden and to the Mother Earth!!
