In 1988, Sabarmatee and her father Radhamohan bought an acre of degraded land in Nayagarh district of Odisha. They wanted to set up an experiment to see if a forest using organic techniques. Organic farming was not widespread in India at that time, therefore they had to rely on trial and error. But over time their efforts succeeded and after nearly three decades their one acre has grown to 90 acres and with a lush forest cover. In 1989 the duo registered a NGO called Sambhav, which would work on organic farming and ecological conservation.
Within their forest is also a 2.5 acre plot which is used for seed preservation. Over the year they have managed to collect, grow and preserve nearly 800 varieties of traditional seeds. More than half of these seeds are of paddy that can grow under different climatic systems and under different stress levels. Some of their seed can tolerate water logging and heavy rain while the other varieties can tolerate drought. There are also certain varieties that are highly nutritious.
Sabarmatee's efforts have built up an important repository of seeds that can help alleviate the effects of climate change. When Odisha was hit by cyclonic storms in 2013 and 2014, 34 varieties of rice managed to withstand the damage. - Навчання та стиль
This woman is a saint! Leading the way for the entire world!
Good luck
Yes, was so amazed by this. Inspiring !
Yes, World needs morem saints like her !
There are already lots like her. Look up regreening the deserts
forrest to farm land is bad though
She's truly a TREASURE. We need pioneers like her not these useless celebrities & corrupt politicians who contribute nothing to society
Respect & love from Mumbai
Only an educated open minded sensitive n sensible Mumbaikar will know it's importance..
@@swapnil5282 no, I am an American who would give this woman the reverance and honor that she deserves. Permaculture! She is the goddess of permaculture. And she has my deepest gratitude for literally "saving the world".
Shanti cardoza
So true darling.
100% agree
You should get to know more of your politicians and celebrities most of them are probably good people
Seed adoption.. what a brilliant idea! Seeds are like babies. Wonderful woman with brilliant ideas. Why can't governments learn from people like this?
Because governments are now owned by business leaders who care for nothing unless it brings a profit. Such single-minded focus ignores the need for diversity which provides resilience against unforeseen changes, like drought or global warming.
Bc of their ego. They’re not down to earth . They dont respect the earth they don’t know how to respect others. Its all about respect, kindness, unconditional love
@@kelelafucksmysoul4340 not true, but see above...
For Monsanto she is a criminal,but for me she is a Saint of mother earth
this is what should be on TV and newspapers, gems like these are not given any news time,what a shame, This lady can teach us so much, Thank you
Hiro Mirpuri I wish other people from the world do same and bring back the nature.
You better avoid TV. It is brainwashing people.
Who watches TV nowadays?
Really important video.
The genuine key to survival.
This is no simple matter and the ladies are capable and advanced in their own right.
An inspiration for every human!
What else can I say!
Surely
people like her are real ratna of bharat ---- not those who get the title without doing any thing
And threatning of giving back their titles ..... Lolz
Like RAJIV GANDHI ...without doing anything.
Thier work literally speaks for themselves not their words
Totaly agreed
Ever notice how people with titles do nothing or very little and blame it on the opposition. Its designed that way. Only way to make change is by this lady's example. Just do it. Stop the hate.
She deserves national award and grants. Thank you very much for your contribution.
I live in the U S. I am so sad we have lost our sanity. We are completely disconnected and I look for my leaders and heroes elsewhere. Thank You Sabarmatee and your father for sharing your knowledge, hard work and your pure hearts.
Come India we well come you sir
Commercial thieves live in your country.. They patent Our rice & our vegetables... They tried to Patent a Potato which was cultivated in India.. I am glad it backfired ... fucking cunts...
Mursheed Rashid wtf..She is spreading positivity and on the contrast you are spreading hate..
@@nareeist No. Directing it.
@@AllMadeVlog best example is They did patent for turmeric which indians use since thousands of years.
I'm from Odisha but unfortunately I never saw an article/any episode about her in any print/ television media. Seriously she's one of my state's pride but nobody appreciate such persons.. 😢😢 First time ever I get to know her through this video 😍😍
A true mother of nature. A spirit of love and regeneration. She truly is a living saint.
love to these villagers and thanks mam for helping farmers.
love respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰💗🇮🇳
I wish some of you can do the something in Pakistan. Only we neighbours can help each other.🙏
Thanks brother
Please save river Indus and it's delta areas from chinese . Pakistan is really beautiful.
@@vikkuvikram1 Indus river has threat from india not China because India is constantly building dams on rivers coming towards Pakistan.
Respect from *PAKISTAN!!!!?????*
She is a farmer herself...
She deserves the title "Down to earth "
what an amazing lesson for the rest of us, with much respect, from Pakistan.
Good luck to you, Pakistan is on it's way to becoming Chinese colony and they will annailhlate what jihadist cant.
@@pinakinpatel5796 their lady's getting sales for few yuan
Nice to hear from Pakistan . Good luck to you
I hope we all can contribute to the betterment of our immediate neighborhood and I am sure we can do something.
❤️ Adopt a seed !! That talks about the the kind the sentiment and compassion that makes this phenomena so rare. Deep respect 🙏. I am a proud Odia today.
This is one of the positive and best thing seen in recent times
Thank you Vamsi. We try our best to bring in positive stories.
Amazing. Excellent. In Tamil Nadu there was a farmer Nel Jeyaram who died recently. (nel mean paddy). He had collected around 180 traditional varieties of paddy.
He did not died .he was killed
@@pintubhavanaby who and for what?
He died of cancer..Pls stop propagating rumours
@@pintubhavana omg
She is now a Padma Shri Awardee, she truly deserves all honour 🎖

India needs multiple Sabarmatees for every state. Congradulations, Sabarmatee & her associates!
This is what patriotism truly means. Many English speaking urban educated lads have this weird notion that patriotism is fighting with Pakistanis on twitter and Facebook. If only they did half of what this woman has done! Lady, respect!
Absolutely right sir
Arun Shankar : You speak the truth ! True patriotism, or ideal patriotism, can be expressed as Humanism. That is when we have meaningful dialogue with all around us; we respect + treasure people. Also, as with Sabarmatee's extraordinary example, treasure + nurture the land and along with that, the community. This represents the Three Realms in Buddhism : the Realm of the Self, the Realm of the Community, or Society, and the Realm of the Land. Why ? Because they are all inextricable linked; no life is separate from others or any of these realms/'areas'. What matters is that our life state is high and our actions contribute to creating maximum value for all humanity.
Wow, so well put! Also good to now people like you exist who can analyse the situation :)
these type of people are loved by everyone, regardless of religion or race. I am a Pakistani and I think we should compete with each other for who spreads more love and good deeds rather than hate. these type of people are a blessing not only for their nation but for the whole world. more power and love to this beautiful lady
Truer words are not spoken.
This lady deserves to be commended on this effort. Truly a remarkable effort to bring back organic system as opposed to GMO. People will always find a way with nature to help them. There was no GMO fifty years ago, this is a great effort to let them know that we are the survivors, no matter what.
There is a difference between nonnative plants and GMO. She doesn't seem to be referring to GMO at all, actually--she just plants natives (which do better in their native climate than nonnatives).
Nature genetically modifies plants too, it just takes it a lot longer to trial and error all the iterations than people do.
These people are those who live for the sake of benefit of the society and benefit of our mother land. These people are no less to patriots. 🙏
not so much our mother land , more our sister land for we have the same creator
Yes
This is called the authentic sustainable development...great thoughts, great execution of ideas from a great great woman 👏👏👏
Patriot! Saviour! Teacher! Saint! Mother Earth! All the above and so much more! I often feel sad and afraid for my children, my grandchildren... But then I come across stories of wonderful people such as this incredible woman and I can Hope again.
She looks so Calm...
Woww
🙏 to her
JaiShriRaM*🙏
All the respect to her dedication... feeling proud because she is from my state Odisha. I love nature...so agriculture , gardening and farming is my passion.
Wish I will make my own agricultural farm in the near future.
More and more people all over the world are going back to their roots, growing back native seeds instead of hybrid. Thanks to this kinda people, who still maintains the native way.
Its a bullshit...the native seeds cannot feed evem 25% of the world food requirement. The hard starvation and poverty came to an end once the hybrid seeds started cultivating..
@@Moviemania_2024 Coz then the population was not in control. Demand was and is much more than the supply. Still initiatives like her's will definitely help the roots of farmers once again back to the Start.
God bless her ... She is an inspiration
Two years back I listen about this Samvab foundation. They are really protecting indigenous Verity of seeds and promoting it's agriculture.
She's so simple and down to earth despite doing such a great work. Very inspiring. We need such people to save our native seeds and farming practices
Amazing! Blood, sweat and tears never lie! Keep going! This is the kind of story that keeps us moving! Jai Hind!
Mirrorwarrior . Amazing quote sir.. 🙏🙏
Belonging to a big city, Delhi, i never realized that agriculture involves so much science. Really inspired!
Extremely admirable. I hope these lessons spread globally!
This madam is very knowledgeable, hope more & more people get all the best farming practice from this wise lady.
Truly inspiring!
Ma'am you deserve much more credit than you are getting.
This is how one makes a difference in the world.
She has wide knowledge. She can be awarded doctorate. I have been in organic field about 17 years and I have only 22 cents. Theft, labour issues high salary has blocked me. Her model brings a better understanding. Let me try as sooner.
This is pure heaven, organic is the way to go..
wearealltubes Thats heaven in its own ways but not for everyone
wearealltubes also a high chance of skin cancer, increased health problems, and if the crop gets a disease, your pretty much done
CONGRATES MADAM. NAMESETHE. ALL THE BEST. HOW MANT COCONUT TREES HOW MANY FRUIT TREES LIKE MANGO. BANANA JACK FRUIT TREE. CHICKO FRUITS PLANTS GOA A TREES. THANKS.
Salute to the Lady; you are a trailblazer and we need more people like you. Thank you.
You are real Bharat Ratna. God bless you. Jai Hind!
Great to see u mam, as an Odia we proud for u and for your great work and achievement...
hats off to sabarmatee and team for this great work... keep it up.. the journey from asambhav to making it sambhav, we salute ur efforts...
Dedicated to building up the land over time. They are helping themselves, the land and the ppl with the varieties of seeds that they provide.
Amazing & Incredible....
This is the real example of down to earth lady...
I was convincing my friends to make study tours towards Nayagarh to see Sambvab NGO during my post graduation but few were not interested to go there...
Salute this brave Lady...
This is truly inspiring! I loved every minute of this beautiful video. Sabarmatee and all the farmers doing this wonderful work are heroes! If we are to continue as a species, we need to return to these kinds of principles and abandon our large scale, mono-cropped agriculture systems.
Respect and love from my bottom of my heart mam really tremendous job done
My salute
Nice work... Healthy India Wealthy India
I suggest to publish a book describing their techniques and experiences of such useful work
Or at least a blog...
This lady is wonderful. She has created an awesome way to teach about agriculture and help people be sustainable along with keeping the soil healthy
This is the perfect example for good quality products God bless all of you guys जय हिंद 🇮🇳
Enterprising and Challenging indeed. The indigenous variety of seeds needs to be conserved and distributed among local farmers. Congrats for your good work.
What an amazing documentary and amazing people! Wow, so happy to have seen this!
love and respect from Ethiopia
BRAVO !! Truly Inspiring.I am a localite of Odisha Unfortunately I could not know about it.Again Good Job Ma'am.
05:36 Wow it is really in Odisha.
Nice to know.
This place is really heaven .I seen it on 2019 July 17 .it's soo peaceful & natural . Sabarmati mam is a great person .💐💐💐
Lovely lady - such passion and care. Great to see a different approach being taken rather than monoculture and chemicals that pervade so much of our plant. Thank you for sharing. Love and respect from the UK
I was sooo happy to see this video! Thank you for saving your country and the planet. This wisdom in caring for the land has to be adopted in other countries as well. God bless you.
This woman deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. Much respect from the USA
Congratulations of this wonderful initiative. I would like to see a full video series on all parts of this operation please. All the best from New Zealand.
This is very informative. I really hope now that we have a environmental friendly government in Pakistan we can also have these conversation centres to protect environment. Pakistan and India should work together to fight climate change. We both can learn from each other. Respect from Pakistan. Our Farmers and farmlands have equal right to survive.
Why u take care of ur self plz we dont want lov or hate from u plz stay away from us
Hi
Friend I am an Indian & I have seen many comments here from Pakistani viewers. I welcome your view that India and Pakistan should work together in this regard, but how? The politicians and military of your country are saving their existence by spreading hostile dialogues and actions against India where India never has any intention of hostility for you Pakistani people. Instead we have more sympathy for you that your Government should work against poverty and spread education in the community. The peace initiatives of our leaders like Vajpai & Mody etc. was answered through Kargil, Uri, & is now continuing through proxy war and terrorism. You are our brothers detached from us in a mishap in 1947. After about 70 years while India is prospering why your country is begging financial help from international agencies. I think you should realize it and work accordingly united with your country people. Many many thanks from India.
Wow, you guys are really funny. Honestly man
These are the real heroes not the politician and business people who just use nature to grow in their own benefits.
Also we can’t measure the intelligence with a degrees.
Look at this lady she is so simple and devoting her self to nature.
I m from Pakistan but love and respect any one who respect nature and playing part to keep it safe for next generations.
Hats off to lady and her father as an agriculturist I'm very excited and in one farm I'm harvesting coconut by mulching.
There is a practicality, earthiness, "down to earth" all around reliability of people who have worked the soil. I recognise it from the people I have worked with do similarly. Thank you Sabarmatee, and Radhamohan. Blessings to you both, from the other side of the world.
She and they all deserve Bharat Ratna
There's no such thing as waste land. More like disrespected and then neglected by foolish humans
Waste land can also merely refer to uncultivated land - which (perhaps not so much densely populated India) both man and nature need more of 💚 but it can also refer to a barren place. In this (lack of) respect vast stretches of "cultivated" land, like parking lots and cityscapes are in fact waste lands. Sadly, as you point to and agree with, modern society has a disastrous lack of respect for nature.
But very barren places have potential - not only to feed people but also let nature thrive - by sustainable cultivation and the creation of viable and self-reliant permacultures. We, as both individuals, societies and as a species, simply don't seem to understand that we rely on our own respect for nature to sustain ourselves - and in my book, this woman is not only a hero, but also a beacon of hope and reason! 💚💚💚
You ever been to Arizona?
Lots of Respect to you and your work ma'am , thank you for your forwarding step to save the nature as well as our odia farming culture.
A woman of substance, would very much like to join her in whatever way I can in future. 🙏🏿
Best video ever...so.humble.throughout the video
This women is real ENTREPRENEUR in AGRICULTURE ZONE !!
This channel is a blessing,soon i'll "buy" a hurt piece of mother and restore it.
thank you so much, the planet, wildlife will be happy.
Me too bro
I find the best thing about this is that there is a true sense of wilderness but it is also agricultural its a win for the environment and a win for us this means we don't have to worry about where to put the forest and where to put the farm they are both the same thing
Her healthy soil is also removing methane and carbon from the air . In their Natural Storage it will be Safely removed from our atmosphere !
She’s great. This video is so inspiring. Everyone would want to do their part after watching videos like these. Respect to this woman.
We respect this approach towards the environment.
Wow what a woman what a dedication showed by her. Respect ma’m. Loads of love from Kolkata.
Kudos to the Down To Earth team, we need more people like you to make great, meaningful content that actually inspires hope for a better future. Love the mini documentary, and please keep making more of these!
YES.
Fantastic what this amazing lady has accomplished and the impact she has not only on the soil and environment, but on the larger community as well! I am impressed!
Im not really environmental but this women is inspiring and gives hope for the future. May God bless and protect her.
This called true inspiration for all farmers , Proud myself as a citizen of Odisha, Salute the great leady.
This is fantastic! I am always interested to see how barren land can be transformed and water harvested to help that situation. I am very excited to know there are other people on this earth that care about the environment.
We have visited the farm, savored the natural sweetness of organic food 😄... We never knew that they would be soon awarded with Padma Shri. We take the pride of our intellectuals!
Please can you provide the address or contact number of farm ? I would like to collect some old varieties of seeds.
Hats off to this great Lady.
She is the lady who deserves the Bharat Ratna.
Not these Cricket players n Singers n Actors.
It's about time the Govt supported such efforts n also such News should be shown on all Platforms.
It's a pity that Nothing like that is ever shown.
My Gratitude n Blessings to her.
May she continue her work n spread her knowledge to Full Bharat.
🙏🙇
I used to read down to earth magazines but I don't know that they have a UA-cam channel. I'm so glad I found this.
this is very encouraging and inspirational, it should be implemented all over the planet. all food should be organic. she is brilliant, she should be on tv to spread her message.
The eagle's view of forest was spectacular .
Absolute love, respect and admiration from Australia.
She truly deserves the nobel prize... Dedicating her entire life to breathe life into acres of barren waste land.
Great work educating your community! Care for the environment and in turn the environment cares for us.
The speed of which this land generates should give us hope. Incredible piece of productive ecosystem development. Thank you Sabarmatee and your father.
First of all huge respect to you mam. I am from Odissa and i am immensely proud to see this video . Excellent idea of adopting an seed . Keep doing good work . Hope more and more people will be inspired by you .
The women who value humanity and nurture life around us. Respect to the lady and the good people.
Ahh..it’s really heaven to see her work ..huge respect 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh.... Taking care of nature is the divinest job on earth. I felt only love for you. Thanks for making this wonderful documentary.
That's why I love this channel. Our country need more educated farmar like her
This true patriotism...love for world...love for nature...love for one's country and ppl
Beautifying the country and inspiring. Saving the country from concrete jungle .
Feeling good to see ur venture....U r the real warriors of Environment ✌️....Kudos From Kerala 💐
This is strong conviction. Salute you Mam
My hero. I should aspire to the same level of greatness.
MASSSSSIVE RESPECT! Shared with my Env. Engineering friends.
There is no study done for marginal farming. Every single research happening in universities is for extensive agriculture. Permaculture seems like the perfect solution for marginal and remote location farmers.
Marginal farming doesn't work. Its just a socialist sham called equality.
It doesn't produce enough to feed the masses, thats for sure. Videos like this never compare yields to large scale operations because these types of farms are basically hobby farms, something to put time and money into for fun, they don't support themselves usually. @@Deenanaanu
@@Deenanaanu, look around at small farms and large gardens. Single large gardens are feeding 50 families with baskets full of vegetables and eggs every week. Look around.
Sean Reed still not enough for 7.6 billion people
Great lady from my own state . Educated n humble who is awakening the common man to go back to methods of self sustainable agro methods as practised in earlier times . My respect to Ma'am on her accomplishments .
This woman is amazing, the politicians need to learn from her.
Wonderful to see sambhav doing such an extraordinary feat. Hats off.
