Permaculture

Bengaluru’s Pushpa and Kishan Kallianpur used permaculture to grow an organic food forest in Sri Sathya Sai district of Andhra Pradesh. Here’s how they transformed this piece of land.

Sunith Reddy from Hyderabad started BeForest with his friend Shaurya Chandra. The community forest initiative helps weekend and full-time farmers learn organic farming and live a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle

“You would not believe how barren and dry my garden once was. And now, I don’t recall the last time I needed to buy leafy greens from the market,” says the urban gardener.

Locals gave up milk in tetra paks, instant noodles, chips, low-grade rice and pulses. "This means children get locally-grown nutritious food, reducing the consumption of processed food and plastic waste. It is a win-win for everyone.”

Peter Singh is 74, and his wife Neeno Kaur is 65. Together, they grow 3,000 plants on just 185 sqm by a method that's independent of the rain, hail, and sun!

“We are living in times where industrial chemicals are being used to grow the food we feed our children. We wanted to change that, not just for our kids, but others too. So we decided to move to India and start growing our food by becoming natural farmers."

This garden is inspired not just by Japanese farmer and philosopher Masanobu Fukuoka’s method of natural farming but also puts to use principles of agroecology, permaculture strategies, and the Miyawaki Method of afforestation.
