- Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow. We travelled to Kerala to look at how the need to conserve traditional varieties of paddy became a people’s movement to revive rice culture and create sustainable rice ecosystems.

Iam an agricultural student but iam unaware of the traditional varieties . This video is really useful for me . I know about the toilings of the farmers. A great salute to those seed conservationist .
An inventor does not do something to get an award......he does it to keep himself alive.....
Govt should create a seed bank where each and every type of seed should be kept preserved.
They do
Govt have.
Let govt .. have coffee , tea food ,, bathe ,, and making kids also ... Actually what's our role?!?!?!?! ... And from where is this govt is coming every time do they decent from some 👽 Alien planet
Due to excess dependence on govt we have forgotten that it is our job to do it.
"We are giving it to nature so that all the natural forces an act upon seeds" and "Everything happens by harmonizing with nature" made me pause the video and think for a while... such an educated farmer... hats off sir. Thanks scroll.
Why I'm addicted to watching Eco India.
I learn a lot of things from this show. Such contents you get to don't see in TV
my respect to all the farmers who did not give up heirloom seeds and great effort by Thannal and other seed savers!!
This is such an important thing. Preserving seed varieties is crucial for our food systems. The big agricultural industries want to make only their seed varieties, resistant to fertilizers and pesticides which are also manufactured by them, to be used everywhere. Local seed varieties are not only adaptive but also more sustainable.
'Everything happens by harmonizing with nature'
Very well said sir.
A goldmine of traditional agricultural information!!
I hope ALL of it has been PROPERLY recorded and other farmers have been encouraged and trained.
It's very sad that our farmers receive little to no recognition and most remain poor, exploited and discriminated against.
They are the TRUE "sons/daughters of the soil".
🙏🕉🙏
Wonderful! Thanks for publishing
Hope the traditionnal agriculture will rise again, for the future of India and the world
Those of us who can affordheirloom varieties which are produced organically should shift to these varieties. This is the only way to make farmers grow organic agriculture, and this will definitely improve our health.
Even we in Telangana growing these varieties in natural farming I feel proud by seeing this how forward my parents are, as farmers.
I loved this information. Twice i was in waynad because of husband was posted there. Still I miss its beauty. Those day's and night's views!!
With all prices information i also glad to see videography.
Again eye opening content by @scroll_in the importance of preserving the indigenous rice varieties by an Agro - Ecology center and having a good market for these indigenous varieties who collect at farm gate is an excellent example, which can be replicated across India to preserve Agro - Biodiversity!!
Extremely good story for a Sunday morning thanks
It was just beautiful to see the farm lands....
Humble Bow to all Such farmers...
My place ,we jest bond with smells of land 😍
Excellent ☺️👌💯🙏 ,no words for this .... lot of respect for farmers and other....
This is just an amazing piece of information. Thank you guys for providing such valuable input directly from the farmers. It has motivated me to know more about such things and support our fellow farmers in whichever way we can.
What a wonderful contribution you people are putting by acknowledging such activities
Science actually evolves in daily practices of people and that which is developed in labs is not science but Commerce.
Great Storytelling as always. Intriguing subject for people unawares of many aspects of agriculture.
High yielding varieties like ir 8 helped us to attain food security in a short span of time .. but now we can try to replace them with our own old varities gradually ..
11:31 "eda parayada" 😂😂😂
What that means?
hahaha
@@Abhiraj_Jana Literal translation is "hey man talk" Contextually she meant for him to talk more as he was staying silent and she was doing all the talking.
🤣🤣🤣
😁
Appreciate your efforts to bring out good stories and quality videos.
Thannal has its own UA-cam channel where u can learn about sustainable house construction using natural elements like mud, limestone..
I didn't get this if these guys are preserving this,then what the hell our agriculture department,govt agencies doing n wht abt that ias who is heading that department n minister representing it this department in govt.i think we don't need govt any more.its time say goodbye to politicians n bureaucracy .we can manage ourelf on our own.
There are few State Government institutes & employees who are spontaneously doing the preservation of local varieties of paddy seed. In this aspect Agriculture Training Center
(ATC), Fulia under Govt. of West Bengal & Anupam Paul, Asst. Director of Agriculture at that training center is doing tremendous work with the help of local farmers.
they clearly mentioned they were supported by "NABARD", please do search about what it is
look for NABARD. and there are many more such state level organisations. in this case issue is not on the govt or farmer side, issue is on the demand side i.e us the customers.
We are the change
Why do you want the government to do everything. This reliance on government for every single issue is what empowers corrupt leaders to get into positions of power. Private enterprise trying to figure out a new business model out of things a lot of people are not really aware about is a sign of development.
Proud of you Kerala
Awesomeness unlimited...Gods own Kerela
Great work.. thanks to scroll
Wow ! Amazing !!!. How u guys come up with such topic .And it's always interesting and informative .I had never missed any videos of ur yet
It's so much for any consumer to know about the how it's created before it's comes to the plate.
Proud of Hierloom variety. That preserved only nutrician.
Wayanad Kerala
All the persons in every one of Eco Indias videos are amazing and so dedicated to save the planet, instead of egotistical and shallov shopoholics.
How do I get this seeds
Farmers 🙏🏻🙇🏻♂️
So much positivity for me now...
Yeee...haaa.....
Nice video! Can someone please tell me which background score is used at the end of this video? Sounds really good!!
I am tired of making payasam with Bullet rice because Govind Bhog is not readily available.
Almost every dish used to be made with a different type of rice. We want them back,badly.
please contact, Organic Bazaar Trivandrum ( 9946109010)for govinbog , or check local organic store in your area it is really good rice.
Extremely beautiful .
Great job
Love you. Great work
Great Job! Please keep it up
our books teach us what a great step green revolution was towards achieving food security.....but you will not find many people talk about its long term consequences. In my opinion green revolution is the single largest reason for farm distress in India today. it has almost destroyed our traditional farming methods which were renewable and sustainable.
In my view if India wants to effectively tackle air, water and land pollution , we should turn and look towards our farmers.
Sir I wish to buy these rice where can I buy from I am from Mumbai . Kindly reply...
You guys keep rocking
Thanks..
Every Farmers are living God To preserve The heritage seeds to grown in land They preseve the Environment we Destory by Political man indeed The govt should Empowerment support for Agriculture should development of Agriculture 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Is it possible to buy this rice variety directly from farmer?
Excellent 🙏 job
Beautiful
beautiful
Great
I am a farmer from west bengal. I want to communication with him. Pls help.
Inspired
Sadly we farmers don't get profit whatever we grow. that's the ground reality.
How come I can't see one lack rice come back ya
I worked as doctor in Wayanad for almost 3-4 years.... earlier there were no cancer patients.but if you look at the statistics , every house is now grieving with that deadly disease. Why ? Because the main income is through agriculture. Earlier it was a dense forest with rain every half an hour through out the year.Now the rains are occurring twice or thrice in a year.the ground water levels are depleting and whatever the water is present , it's filled with those pesticides, insecticides, fungicides,weedicides. Pepper , ginger , banana are major ones. I had an asthmatic patient , and his son is a ginger farmer. He said that they never consume the ginger they cultivated . Because it's filled with heavy pesticides etc chemicals.i was really shocked at their ignorance. He said they are exporting it to neighbouring states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and andhra.
ഈ അരികൾ എവിടെ വാങ്ങാൻ കിട്ടും?
Kerala daaa ....
Hi
Best preservation is to widen our cuisine to include them, it is our Dharmic way.. Not seed banks. It is Western museum approach. Kill it first then build museum/seed banks to preserve them.
Sadhguru will be proud of all all these farmers
We need to pass on this tradition
Aise logon ke vajah se ye sabh cheeze bachi huyi hai.
And it will be passed down to the future generations
Eda parayada, athu aram masathe...
I love india so huge so big so smart so pacifist ,,,,,,,,,,q
To all people in the comment box I just want you to buy things from farmer not from any other places because our farmers are getting looted by middle men.
#SaveSoilMovement #SoilforClimateAction @cpsavesoil
Hatsoff for that both of them and NGO's preserving our ancient seeds ..that to pass our feature generations
Chaddi bhai hindi mai bolo
Since the value of money/rupee has not reflected the value we should have given to our planet (including extracting crude oil from earth), my favorite part of this video is the farmer saying seeds should be traded, not sold for money.
this work is so important for the world ! thank you √ ♥️
Farming looks more joyful than my site engineering job😇
Great 😎😎😻
🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼👌🏼🇮🇳♥️
Ramettan puliyane👍
Wonderful....
It's very informative..
Great work
Where can I find his rice??? Online????
Visit kerala
Amazon
Good effort
Wonder what they taste like. Especially the one that kings used to eat
Heavenly 🤩 I ate 4 varieties in them.
What happened to the morning fix videos?
How can I buy the rice produced by these farmers?
Exactly my question!
Since there is not much information on this you can take initiative to find him by contacting scroll. You can take this as a business case by marketing his products online you'll be the middle man if it clicks you'll make money.
My uncle P. Devakanta have the largest no. of rice variety collection in India. Varieties include Sticky Rice, Wild Rice, Black Rice, Aromatic Black Rice, Brown rice, etc. He even won many awards in India for his unique rice variety collection. www.behindwoods.com/news-shots/63-year-old-finds-165-types-of-wild-rice.html
Thank you for keeping the tradition. Generations are indebted to your work, courage and determination for preserving the tradition. You are a God send person. Lets all pray to God, so that all cultivation land change to tradition sooner, to save our health.
Kerala as usual leading the way, kudos
Why it's moral responsibility of consumer to support farmers....... Consumers are free to buy whatever they like to buy or not...
That's so true.
