      @paanifoundation. please setup a system to alert people to the idea of unintended consequences. Those will need constant groundwork across the geographies you are working in. Even things like the "Miyawaki System" should be looked at critically. The people themselves need to be alert about how the improvements in the ecology seen so far do not segue into unforeseen disasters
      It would really be the worst thing if after all the effort which has been put in, something as simple as a lack of alertness were to reverse and destroy everything that's been achieved by everyone

      I think it depends on scale and ultimate use of the product.
      Growing, tending and harvesting a single 100 or 500 acre field of cotton, corn or another commodity crop for export would seem kinda disincentivizing because you're "just" doing it for money.
      However, having even 3 or 4 smaller fields of product for home or village use wouldn't be so alienating. You could still grow an export commodity crop for the essential cash but at a smaller scale or, even better, process the commodity crop by doing even the slightest bit of "value added" enhancement (shell nut crops or press oil seed crops or gin the cotton).

    Here in Brazil, in the northeast regions in which rains more than most of the semi-arid regions of India, lots of people live in miserable communities because they don't take action like these villages do and wait the govt solve their problems. One farmer did it by himself and had a farm that was the only one in the region with water all year around and people instead o copying his example just got jealous and ostracized the guy. It's nice to see how the mentality in India is different, I can see they have a great chance of improving.

    Everything about the videos is awesome. The Water cup and the Farmers Cup are "Competitions" but every single participant is a winner, because all their lives get better. And that by working together, not against each other - on a big scale. There is sooooo much that farmers around the world should learn and implement. And the speed at which the changes are apparent is just breathtaking.

    the most important thing about Paani Foundation is that whatever they do, they do with EXTENSIVE research about that particular topic. and consults the BEST in that field.
    when Satyajeet Bhatkal was wandering around these drought prone areas of Maharashtra he came to know about the work of Dr. Avinash Pol and his friends at ajinkya tara fort, and how they do the SHRAMDAAN (voluntary labour), they loved the idea and implemented it in water cup.
    NOW when they are running farmers cup they did the same EXTENSIVE research and came to know about Sahyadri Farms where many farmers came together and formed the company. Paani Foundation implemented that idea and now they are giving training to farmers and convince them to come together and do the farming, if the farmers comes together there are multiple benefits.

    Just love how a landscape can transform when water finds its way into the soil and recharges the ground water ! Something wonderful about this is how the nutrition profile of the local community would have improved as a result of this. The miyawaki forest was just a treat to watch ! It would be amazing if such small Miyawaki forests would be planted at the base of the hills as the water makes its way into the valley ! Given the terrain wooded grassland might be the appropriate foothill ecosystem . Thank you Andrew for this update. Cant wait for the upcoming videos ! :)

      I have gone for some trekking in some forests areas in this terrain, and I think you are right. The foothills were wooded and the slopes were covered in grass and it becomes wooded again once you reach the top. I'm guessing the grasses at the foot hill probably was a casuality of overgrazing.
      If you are interested in Miyawaki forests in India, check out the channel Crowd Foresting. They build miyawaki forests in urban areas in Southern part of India.

    I've been watching these since the Paani videos first hit UA-cam. I agree with Jori Manchon... Dr. Avanash Pol should be put up for a Nobel prize. He really thought about the big picture when he went to Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao and the team behind the Satyamev Jayate show. I don't remember how it was spoken about over the years but I believe he went to Khan and Khan said, "lets do it." Pol understands leadership and what it takes to get hopeless people working together. It took a really big trusted name to make a really big deal about a sure thing... making their lives better by working together in the sun long and hard for a little bit each year (OK... working A LOT). How do you change the world... one heart at a time. How do those hearts change the world, by banding together and getting stuff done. :-)

    Really glad to see a new episode. Wish I knew how to deal with my very sandy soil, now that we have a severe draught in my area of Minnesota. Native plants that were never affected before are struggling. Still lots of green in much of my wild habitat area and more birds than ever. I really need a pond of some kind for the wild friends. Only watering some of the vegetables.

      Definitely consult water management experts like Dr Millison etc. Knowledge is transformative, and you can address many problems previously just accepted as inevitable or insurmountable. Good luck!

      @@nsn5564 I have studied quite a bit, but very sandy soil will remain such. That doesn't mean that I don't have 100 year old trees (lost 3 of them last year to straight winds, lots of money) but the rest made it, as well as some of the newer ones, the newest of all will need a miracle. My property used to have a small creek which the city got rid of decades ago. Still trying to figure out how to build a pond there. Dug one before in my old property, but I was only in my 50's at the time.

      That said, when I first moved here, on the day after Christmas, I went to city hall and asked for permission to build a wildlife in my property in the middle of town and they said yes. That was about 20 years ago. He wasn't around yet. You can bet I know a lot more than they do about the environment.
