India's Water Revolution #4: Permaculture for Wastelands at Aranya Farm
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лип 2020
- Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to India to film the epic work at Aranya Farm in the state of Telangana. We tour the twenty-year-old farm that was established on bare bedrock, and now boasts 11.5 acres of permaculture food forests, which has restored the groundwater table to plentiful abundance. Guided by Aranya's directors Narsanna and Padma Koppula, we visit the surrounding area where the landless poor are now farming their own lands and turning bedrock into bounty using permaculture principles. This video clearly proves that wastelands can be transformed into verdant and productive agricultural systems, improving the lives of many.

The wasteland are not wastelands. They are wasted lands. 👏
Thank you for creating such a great content and sharing important knowledge to all of us!
2:54 The linking of the poor/rich soil dichotomy with the rich/poor social dichotomy blew my mind.
The man's a genius
Also, it gives hope that a poor-soil land is not permanent and it can be made rich with proper care. Very inspiring.
Indeed it is a deeply touching message that the poor can become rich, instead of reality of one surviving at the expense of another it creates reality of abundance. Society is not a zero-sum game and everyone can win!
I wish my Indian brothers well. Love from pakistan
👀 Your countries deserved a better division, and the shared heritage should never spoil future peace.
Save your Christian, Sikh and hindu minorities first.

I'm 21 and that's the kind of farm i want to create. Permaculture will save us if we are enough to put such farms in place.
Watching this makes me emotional. He's a true hero. We need more people to step up like this.
There are so many people doing good Agriculture and Water work in many parts of India like :
Paani foundation & Dr Avinash Pol in Maharashtra
Shyam sunderji in Piplantari, Rajasthan
Arayna permaculture in Telgana & Andhra Pradesh
Ardhendu Chatterjee of DRCSC in West Bengal
Sonam Wangchuk in Ladakh
Thank you to all these saviours!!

Copy paste your own comment 😮
Planting forests and preserving wild life are the most beautiful things we can do as humans on this planet.
When God created man he put him in a garden. Then a bunch of crazy stuff happened we don't need to talk about. But long story short, I think God meant for us to be gardeners.
Same thing happening in Ethiopia, and Senegal where they are planting a section of the ‘Great Green Wall of Africa’, a new ‘Coast to Coast Forest’. That has transformed the areas from drought and famine to food abundance and water table regeneration. . China are also planting a ‘Great Green Wall of China’ that is also Coast to Coast.
Coast to coast forest...
Sounds wonderful. Prayers for its fruitation and success.

China has been working on it since the early 1970s or about fifty years.
Padma and Arsana are the real heroes of this world. Much respect.
Meh, they are "heroes" :

Old man's a genius. A soil scientist of his own.
Andrew.. U r doing a great job... Bringing India to Indians..... Ur passion for sustainability will grow exponentially...
Thank you. Namaste!
Brilliant on so many levels.. Thank you for sharing this success story. You are removing the fear of investing time and effort into "wasted" land. I think of the many places here in the USA which would benefit from this educated optimism. Starting here, right where I am. Thank you for the inspiration.
!!
Imagine the Vegas desert turning to a food forest paradise
I learned Permaculture at Aranya from Narsanna & Padma Koppula ji. Aranaya is a great place to be.
Ballu T where is it located
I was there and I wish to go back again just to thank all of the wonderful souls there who introduced me to permaculture. Narasanna is my mentor in permaculture and he's the best according to me. Cheers to Aranya Alternatives 🙏
Mr Narsanna is a Jewel of India!
So much India has done for agriculture around the world it’s incredible!
12:31 legitimately made me cry
This is true socialism. Respect and salutations from Pakistan. This aspect of India should be shown more than bollywood
You are doing good work Andrew showcasing these amazing people and their efforts. Thank you! It gives me hope .
Thank you so much Andrew for sharing wonderful true stories for better world ! I have watched all 6 videos along with my 10 year old son, he too got excited and says Dad let's watch next one :)
Really hats off to all the great people who are doing tremendous job on the ground by working with government, ngos and communities to educate, encourage and creating a sustainable ecology to everyone
Thanks so much to Narasanna & Padma ji from Aranya, Pani foundation - Dr. Avinash Ji, Amir Khan Ji & team, DRCSC - Ardhendu ji, Gayathri ji and all great people !
Thanks Jyotish for the great comment and i am very glad that you and your son have enjoyed all of the episodes so far. I am about 80% done the next and final episode, and hope to have it out within a few weeks. Happy New Year!
Thank you very much Andrew. Happy New year !
Eagerly waiting to see for your next video like many others
Andrew, you are such a master storyteller. I love every video you do. It would be a large project but I could totally see you doing a movie on the subject of India and water. I feel so much hope and go so excited every time I watch your videos. How many more videos do you think you have material to do?
Sheri,
Thanks and I really appreciate your feedback. I am planning 7 or 8 videos total in this series. So if you watch them all back to back, then it will be movie length :-)
We need more people like him in India. Happy to see what difference one person can make. Thanks for the info
All the world needs people like him!!!
Woho! Feels like I have been waiting for this episode forever! I discovered it by the magic of the youtube algorithm when the #3 episode was posted. Love these episodes on India's water revolution, Andrew! The narrating, interviews, the camera work, the maps, animations - it's all really well done, interesting (eye-opening!) and educational. My new favourite channel. Keep it up! Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden
Thanks so much! Comments like this make the hundreds of hours it takes to make one of these videos worth it. I am already busy on #5 :-)
@@amillison Woho! Looking forward to #5 and also, I hope more people keeps coming in through the algorithm and discovers this gem of a channel, because you truely deserve million of views.
@@whatatypicaltime2412 I believe it needs 7.2 billion views ASAP with everyone implementing even small parts of it. There would be no world poverty or hunger :)😊🙌
Nice was waiting for this :D
There is also a certain bit of poetry in that the people deemed "untouchable" are creating a permaculture paradise away from caste and consumer society down the road.
Westerners only think of india as caste caste...When the reality is it has become almost redundant except for political power. thanks to silly documentaries.
Village people aren't considered untouchables lol.
Lot of it Bogus. The video producers just to make it dramatic describe someone as untouchable. In one video the gypsies of Rajasthan were put in this category. They are not untouchable, never were. I wonder if this is anti Hindu agenda driven.
u will definitely land in jail if u call someone untouchable in India. On the other hand, There is def some drama and poetry in BLM and Antifa movement, i suggest u watch that to satiate ur linguistic palates.
And I hope India got rid off Monsanto
I just subscribe to your channel this types of video information I crave because I learned
Any channel that pushes permaculture is a permanent agriculture university to me
Thanks for pushing foward what benefits all kinds of life not just humans
Yes.
Seeing the success of the bedrock farm, gives me no excuses here on my Kentucky clay. The abundance that can be farmed here, with minimal input is rediculous. Looking at my 8 acres permaculture designed property, I am so grateful for the abundance we have made.
Just be changing the slope profile, the land’s potential is transformed over a few years. This is amazing work.
I know nothing about farming, but this seems nothing short of miraculous. I think maybe sometimes we underestimate the power of human ingenuity.
We definitely disregard the power of intelligent design that is already programmed into the system. Diverting away from it was human folly!
Permacultura ou Sistema de Agrofloresta e a Recuperação de desertos são a salvação da humanidade! Parabéns!
20 years in the making. That's what you call dedication and the fruits of permaculture is there
Stunning! Thanx for bringing Narsanna & Padma's work to the world. And thanks for inspiring us all throughout your journey. Keep it flowing! 💦💐
Beautiful! There is a hope for the planet with Permaculture! ❤️🌳🌱🌎
Billy Mollison, Masanobu Fukuoka and likes of Narsanna and Padma have really challeged the conventional agricultural perspective! Permaculture is a really good solution. Like the way everything was covered Andrew...really nice work...!❤️ When I was looking for land till yesterday and in my mind opting for fertile and irrigated soil, but now I will surely go for even bedrocks and make turn them into a forest....hope that happens soon..... very inspiring video!
I started on video 1 , i'm on 4 now! this shit's interesting!
This is one way to start a saturday morning. Thank you bro
This channel is amazing. You are doing fantastic journalistic work.
Hey. I want to translate your videos into Russian and voice them for the Russian audience on my channel. Can I do this?
Definitely! Please send me the links when you are done, and also if you are able to send an SRT file of the translation then I can put Russian subtitles on this video as well. Please email to: andrew.millison@oregonstate.edu
@@amillison OK!
@amillison - I am in tears of wonder at these human works! The people of the Klamath Basin in Oregon would do well to study these innovators 🌱
YOU CAN DO IT INDIAAA
this what world needs honestly
AFRICA COULD BENIFIT MUCH OF THESE.
So much inspiration. Love the graphic explaining the Permaculture concept. Keep it coming!
Fantastic, always gives me hope seeing such things, not having access to our land is whats holding us back!. Land is Freedom! 🌎✊🏽🌻
It's mind-blowing how successful the people in India have been with permaculture! Seeing stuff like this absolutely proves the concept to me!
Spent a few days here. I learned a lot. Hope to learn in more depth. And the food was soo good even when it was so simple. It was exotic for me being an Indian.
India is blessed with abunant water resources
In fact need this worldwide to combat the current environment issues
These principles should be effected in all drought stricken areas. I just love these videos as they show that there is hope. When people can make a living from their land they don't need to go to work abroad or in sweat shop jobs in cities. It allows them to live in their villages and enjoy a much higher quality of life. It could reverse the descent into lawlessness that is taking place in many parts of Africa because of 'drought' which is causing more and more people to become refugees.
this kind of video fills me with hope that there arnt just global companies out there ruining the globe. there are humans out there wanting to make a difference and share their nowledge to better the people and the habitats around them!
It is people like Narasanna and Padma Koppula who deserve Padma Bhushan awards
This is so incredible. Thank you so much for sharing with us!!
❤️ and respect for all Indians from a Pakistani whose dad was forced to leave Jalandher after British rule. I wish we can be friends.
This is a great system and just shows what you can do to change waste land or wasted land into productive land. Well done India and I am enjoying this series.
Good series. Saw the entire season part 1-8. Such an impressive effort.
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it. :) If you enjoyed this series, I have another season coming out soon! 13 episodes long! Stay tuned.
Andrew I am so proud of you!
I WAS SMILING THROUGH OUT THE VIDEO.................GREAT WORK....
I love the content you share. Thank you for the good work you're doing. We live in India and we don't even know about these initiatives that exist in our country!
These are India's real heroes! Grassroot Workers!
I moved into my property 16 years ago, before I was just lawn (useless for anything) It is now a food forest. Most of the trees were not planted by me, but by bird's droppings. All I did was pull out as much lawn as possible by hand and plant a few things to attract birds. They also brought seeds of many wild plants, that you can eat. I live is a very cold place in the United States, where it can get to -37 degrees C. So it works in dry land and land that freezes.
Kudos to the initiator!
I binged watched all the episodes 😍
Ha! Subscribe and you'll get the next ones :-)
Hats off to him!!!
Hard work is the key to success in life. Permaculture is the latest technology of Agriculture.
आपके कदम सराहनीय है सब इस जानकारी को हिंदी मे प्रस्तुत करेंगे तो हिन्दुस्तान मे ज्यादा लोग समझेंगे, जानेंगे और प्राप्त जानकारी का ज्यादा लाभ उठा पाएंगे धन्यवाद आपका ।।
धन्यवाद और हम जल्द ही इस वीडियो के लिए एक हिंदी अनुवाद करेंगे। अन्य सभी वीडियो में पहले से ही हिंदी उपशीर्षक है।
@@amillison आपका दिल से धन्यवाद।।
I hope by this projects and engineers doing good deeds to people in India will give them out of famine due to water scarcity because of drought but now its wonderful to see villagers they have plenty of crops planting around their village, thank you for this wonderful people with a good heart finding ways, helping the government for a solution to save the lives of its countrymen, I hope in other countries they will and can adopt this kind of projects and foundations to promote great living in the villagers and to nation building not promoting war but greatest life to live in
Hopeless made Hopeful!!!Wonderful concept. Most of the people including me are not aware of this project, as mentioned there are acres of land which are said useless and abandoned. But for reasons who is going to bell the cat!!,approaching the government for such a noble cause is next to impossible , corruption!!. Down south in Tamilnadu water is sucked to the core till the water table is dry. No effort is taken to conserve rain water though there's abundance of rainfall. Only now there's awareness with in the public to harvest rain water and desilting of the water bodies. Mr Narsanna and Mrs Padma are doing a Great job to poor down trodden and to the Mother Earth!! God bless 🙏🙏🙏
There is a whole long story about how Narsanna approached, lobbied, cajoled, and squatted on government land before they released the wastelands for the landless to farm. It was no small feat, but he was successful so it can be done.
Fantastic episode! A permaculture system on bedrock, now I've seen everything! Well done Padma, Arsana and Andrew for getting this knowledge out there :)
What an inspiration, teaching us the miracle of the earth and it's regenarative powers, Absolutely amazing!
This natural technology need to be taught to all agricultural sector. It takes nature itself to heal the land abused by human.
Watching yoir videos gives me hope ...
Love to all involved
What a great man a true hero of the community
I have been to the farm and this is awesome!
Thank God for this people with their passions. 🙌
Loving this stuff..
Super work. Thank you Andrew
wow I still have the DVD of Bill Mollison when he trained India and also Zimbabwe. Thank you for this series. I have so much to learn. From South Africa
The funny part is, the various peoples of India were already doing this before british colonialism. All of this is just rediscovering the wheel
so hopeful. I love this exploration and success
I L-O-V-E this!!!! Keep up the fantastic work!
The biogas system in that video Blew my mind!!
Narsanna and Padma Koppula are true holy people. I hope their spirit and knowledge spreads far and wide.
this work if taken by each India will ensure Food and Water security to all. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for these videos.
very great illustration and explanation ! This is very inspiring and motivating for farmers of the deccan plateau . In Maharashtra people dont want their children to work in farm and they complaint of the type of soil and water scarcity.
I love this series.
Brilliant applicable solutions and beautiful people. God bless ❤
What an inspiring video this is, especially as it pertains to the still-in-existence caste system and its lowest caste: the untouchables. Highy uplifting production by Andrew Millson. Mennonites and Brethren [US] accepted the offer of free land in Paraguay that the government declared to be hopelessly barren. Their success paralleled Aranya Farm.
Wasteland is not wasteland it is wasted land.....super
Key board warriors this is how you fight injustice ,he is not only permaculture farm owner but also fought for the rights for local tribes and now because him they are also making income in a decent way
Tremendous job for poor people and nature.
7:22: FIND WHAT?
Namaste Narsanna ji and madam,
thanks for your inspiring work. I work in Corporate world as CxO and very soon want to migrate to Permaculture way of life.
Covid Lockdown has kept me thinking about simplicity and the ecosystem that mother earth has to offer to us, and certainly I would like to embrace it with a big hug.
I have been reading a lot and seeing films and documentaries on Permaculture, apart from looking like a healthy lifestyle, a big happy kitchen garden, being part of nature by reducing my material wants, I am looking for answer to an important question, i.e. revenue model to sustain the farm, my family with kids education, health and other needs, please let me know how to build that as opposed to normal mechanised agriculture?
As certainly, my next innings in life is permaculture and not a retirement home. Thanking you in advance for your reply and sorry for a long post. Cheers and health wishes.
Love your content Andrew. not only are you an expert in your field, but equally mirrored in your film making style and presentation.
Andrew the quality and content of all your videos is amazing. Very inspiring and informational. Hats off to you!
Mr koppula is a real hero to the villagers helping them to land and teaching their how to farm! We need more men like him around the world 👍🏼
I m Viêtnamese.respect your innovation...
Well done guys. Keep on going. Love from Malaysia.
Narsanna, thank you so much for all the things you did and you keep doing!!!
Sir, my deepest Respect to you!!
Only watched a few episodes so far but this is definitely going into my homeschool unit studies on water tables, flow and ecosystems! Thank you so much and cant wait for your new series!❤
What wonderful, productive sustainability for people.It brings solutions to evaluative the harshness in such environments. Brilliant.
Beautiful work, Andrew. Thanks a lot.
Wow! So much respect! Love from Canada!!!
