India's Water Revolution #5: Permaculture Rescue for Dying Farmland

[@Obelixlxxvi]

If you are reading this...please request Aranya to setup a base in north India as well. The so called literate farmers of Haryana, Punjab and other states... need to adopt these strategies rather than relying on chemicals, burning crops and not thinking about mother nature.

[@nileshjoshi4232]

Haryana & Punjab doesn't have much rainfall but they have endless supply of water from Himalayan rivers. North might need a different solution.

[@Hakunamatata-me5ih]

@@nileshjoshi4232 Haryana also have mansoon season for three months

[@gregorymoeliker7689]

The punjab is very reliant on chemicals and hence the large amount of cancer and health issues.

[@BrandonSL500]

Contact them yourself.

[@Rahul_Singh100]

Haryana ,U.P. and Punjab's habit of burning crops causes worst kind of smog in Delhi.🙁

[@bobjackson4720]

It is interesting to compare India and China. China is planting millions/billions of trees and sustaining them with pumped water draw from elsewhere, whereas the Indians are creating water catchment systems and harvesting the rain that falls on the area. The Indian solution appears superior.

[@avantelvsitania3359]

Indeed. China’s mentality seems to be “fighting and winning over Nature”, whereas India is more on the “Taking advantage of the local characteristics of Nature, respecting, and cooperating with it”. Harmony with the Environment will always be more successful than trying to surpass it. Because no one will ever surpass the perfection of Nature.

[@bluesclues132]

china does not have regular monsoons in it's inner lands- that is why they have to rely on pumping water, they don't need to worry about electricity consumption like india does as they have a lot of foreign reserve flows and a budding nuclear power programme. You need to adapt to your own geography.

[@marielaretivesiccard7162]

Israel has done so since the 1940s and 50s .... They are now seeing the Weather forecast changed for the better new age climate changes 🕎✡️☯️☮️

[@marielaretivesiccard7162]

China and Egypt are also using an Australian clay into sand soil technology tooooooo !

[@spik330]

I feel like those are different problem. Mainly as one person said china doesn't have monsoons regular. As trees are known to shield the ground from winds and sun, creating a forest could be a way to help the ground retrain a lot of its moisture.

This is by far the most interesting and inspirational channel on youtube. This is actual "work". Not some menial endeavor to get a bit of cash out of some toxic corporation. This is true, life giving work. This is holy, This is how it should be. Its almost ethereal watching this. The goal, the water, the food. Working the land for the people, with the people. Allowing space for nature. I look forward to how these beautiful places end up. Thank you so much for sharing this. I hope this mindset and perspective takes the world by storm. I would love to be a part of something like this here in Texas.

If a group of 2-3 schools work in one village each as vocational education programme this will help both present and future. The mindset of future generation will change

[@swatisquantum]

Imagine every city schools having their k-12 cultivating city farms

[@remoconan8720]

I am in amazement how people like Padma Koppula seem to stay out of the public limelight and keep their low profiles but have such a massive effect and contribution to these most marginalized and poorest communities; it shows you that the real miracle workers that help the people are never the government or the bureacrats!

[@yundaoutstation2000]

This is a beautiful story. A simple approach, learn and work with nature. The land gives back in abundance. I think modern farming in Australia has a lot to learn when using machinery, technologies, and caring for the land. Thank you, Andrew, you have done an incredible news breaking, indeed.

[@aafdst8478]

I love the drawings they help me understand better

[@VK-qo1gm]

This is true social justice, not posting images on Facebook of holding slogans and feeling smug but doing real physical projects that improve the lives of people

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

Thankyou from Australia. Individual farmers have started this sort of work here too, it is very needed in our dry continent. However I don’t think we have yet the kind of concentrated community education, planning and implementation that makes so much difference to widespread watershed transformation, as seen in these Indian projects.

[@payalk2898]

There are so many people doing good Agriculture and Water work in many parts of India like : Paani foundation & Dr Avinash Pol in Maharashtra Shyam sunderji in Piplantari, Rajasthan Arayna permaculture in Telgana & Andhra Pradesh Ardhendu Chatterjee of DRCSC in West Bengal Sonam Wangchuk in Ladakh Thank you to all these saviours!!

PADMA Koppula , is a real contributor and true hero .❤🥰🥰🌱🌱

[@higherresolution4490]

These videos are incredibly inspirational. So many heroic visionaries in India. It's a shame that US agriculture isn't regenerative; is not predicated on the principles of permaculture. And with Bill Gates now the single larges private owner of agriculture land, Toxic chemistry and dead soils are here to stay. Amazingly, during the Public Works Program of FDR, many permaculture projects were completed, espcially in dry areas like outside of Phenoix, Arizona. Although long abandoned, they still stand today and are highly productive. Geoff Walton did a video on this subject.

[@karamjnah976]

i started from episode one now i cant stop this is heartwarming

Great Work Andrew. Nice that you are taking time to showcase the positive efforts taken by many people of my country. Thanks for your effort.

This is chain system water tank management(golusu kattu cheruvulu)....Kakatiya dynasty had used this method 800 years back they had dug many tanks across Deccan area.. still this chain system lakes are in use till date...great to see this..... government has to encourage this work.. political parties of Telangana are destroying this system by illegal constructions in tanks....this illegal constructions are purely done under government support...it's killing entire livelihood around it.

[@microcolonel]

I would love to see this in richer and considerably less water strapped places. Here in Wyoming I think some of the grasslands are a lot dryer than they really should be, and tree-lined terraces seem like they could convert some dry, fast-draining land here to highly productive grass.

[@hannahdisilvestro5898]

I'm in Chugwater and we average 17 inches of rainfall per year, so similar to this region of India. Dusty, dry dirt. But this month I'm going to start with berms and swales...we'll see where it goes.

[@ooooneeee]

@@hannahdisilvestro5898 how did it go? 🙃

[@TW-ew9lw]

Rain water harvesting should be a feature in very home. Rain water shouldn't go into open drains. It should be stored for plantation and cleaning. India is blessed to have yearly monsoon rains and it should preserve water of that golden time.
