Eco India: Farmers in the cold deserts of the Himalayas are banking big on a wild 'wonder' berry

Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire you to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow. Our top story this week looks at how seabuckthorn - that is found across the high-altitude cold desert of Lahaul-Spiti and has been touted as a 'superfood' - is helping communities earn an additional income and become more climate-resilient in the long run.
