I am watching these videos over and over again...to bring the knowledge to Tunisia. The key is Water. Nature provides the rain. Man has to capture and retain the water and use it wisely. Starting at the top is the solution. Gravity is nature too...the water seeps down over time.
Great to hear that the videos are serving you and you are watching them over and over again. I wanted the complete series to be like a mini-course on water harvesting. Even the dry parts of India have monsoonal rains greater than the average rainfall in Tunisia, so you'll have to make some adjustments and harvest water from vast rocky or desert areas when it flows.. Here's a good video for a hot, hyper-arid climate: ua-cam.com/video/T39QHprz-x8/v-deo.html
It is a mistake, you know Indians despise their own and the Indian subcontinent region and Asian, they love and respect only their beloved masters from the west
We in Nepal have a deep and ancient emotional connection to the people in India...as a shared civilisational heritage. The great Omkar binds us beyond anything!
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!!
This is the first time I have seen two completely innovative earthworks in one video. The 30-40 model is brilliant, but perhaps not as brilliant as the stepped irrigation pond that reveals more growing area the lower the water drops! Absolutely genius find!
@@amillison Terrace farming, I think might have one problem. What if there is an unseasonal rain which is quite common in india. That might ruin the crops and months of work. Please correct me if I am wrong, as I am new in this field yet I am amazed what can be achieved without dams and machines. I am from INDIA never been more proud.
@@theakhilarya At the time when the water level drops low enough for the terraces to be farmed is deep into the dry season, as water in the ponds is used for irrigation. I think it takes a lot of rainfall to fill these ponds, so you would have to have very extreme rainfall event to flood a planted terrace during the dry season. I'm not saying that's impossible, but would be a very anomalous event. And people would probably be happy, because other dry frields would also be watered and create potential for another crop to be planted.
Yes. Making a virtue of necessity. Those artificial ponds inevitably empty out during the dry months. Those fluctuations made me want to just drain that water into underground cisterns, and then pump the water from those cisterns with wind power. This is more natural.
A good example for all the world that together human can do great thing... "If u want to do it right do it your self and if u want to do it great do it together..."
Have been watching and cheering for you Andrew for the last 10 years. Am 60+ women in your old town Prescott w my own "little " food forest. I am so proud of you Andrew. You are so passionate and destined to do what you are doing-great things. May your god bless you and keep you safe, happy, and abundant always. My hope for you and your generation. Our hope for the future.
Been waiting for this video. What is happening in India is truly an inspiration to all of mankind. Respecting the environment as well as the local traditions. It's all connected after all.
TRADITIONS KILLED THE SOIL IN MANY COUNTRIES . THAT IS WHY WE HAVE FOOD AND WATER SHORTAGE SO AS DESERTIFICATION. AND NO, TRADITION AND Saving OUR Resources IS NOT CONNECTED
@@svetlanikolova7673 I disagree. Tradition has the wisdom of centuries, and the experience of generations. The peoples who damaged their soil were the ones who started using modern practices that they weren't familiar with, or simply did a bad overall management of their lands. Tradition is not the problem. As you can see in these videos, Tradition is always part of the process of regenerating the soil. And that's exactly how it should be. Tradition respects both the people and Nature. And values the knowledge of the ancient generations.
Can't get enough of this series, Andrew! Amazing work on documenting such an awesome project. Well done to the people at Paani Foundation, DRCSC and everyone one working the land :)
I had a like aaaaaahhhwweeeaahhhh moment!! So smart!
4 роки тому+3
I am in awe! Nothing is impossible, if humans are determined! And this only works when everyone pulls in the same direction! Without the involvement of Indian politicians, things surely are running like clockwork! What an inspiring project 🙏👌👍🏻
It is just so exciting to see these villagers with some very important guidance transform their land and make if a very productive farm, for all. Everything they are taught and learned by building they could show a village next to them. I just want to reach out and tell them congratulations and how proud they must be for being able to be in control of their own lives.
@amillison - From Poverty to Permaculture are beautiful, inspiring works of human ingenuity 🌱 The Klamath basin & Central Valley in California would benefit from these innovations!
Were happy to the success in different villages of India. Pray and hope that we can also duplicate this one in Philippines soon. Prayers and God bless you Andrew more inspiring videos please about permaculture or ecological agriculture.
This is truly a triumph of human enginuity, the fact that they use no technology what so ever magnifies the extent of the accomplishment this organization has done, i hope that we begin to see this all over the world, in places like the Midwestern united states where it only rains for about 2 months a year we could create food farms that produce year round. I hope that people in agriculture around the world see this.
There is some danger that some could fail in an earthquake, in a worst case, but it is probably a calculated risk, not likely to be full. The slope looks low and that is a very positive factor, regardless one should be prudent and not carry things to an extreme.
Great to see not just survive, but thrive and enrich the Earth mother! Loving how poor who were dependent on some labour work, now working to better their livelihood by becoming independent at the same time doing community based projects!!! Ecologically balanced yet preserving what Earth mother can offer the people living on those used to be barren but now flourishing lands !!! Way to go 🙏
Wow, Andrew by showing this you are creating awareness and encouraging more and more people to use this kind of solution. India is a poor country still people pay for water( transportation in tanks is very costly due to expensive oil). by doing these simple things people can avoid paying for water.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful cooperative permaculture story with us. Western media often ignore such remote indian agricultural projects. Bravo 🙏
Mr. Bill Mollinson, in Tasmania, during the 1970s developed PERMI CULTURE. He died 2022. Millions of people have seized his success, spread it across all lands and lifted the ambitions of tens of millions.
This is so fantastic on so many levels! The designs are brilliant and people working together is truly inspiring. Thank you Andrew for all of your work. I enjoy your podcasts as well. You are doing a great job getting the word out there about all of these kinds of Permaculture style projects.
That's a wonderful documentary, Mr. Andrew! Thank you só much! I'm a schoolar from Brazil, and I know that permaculture, or "ecological agricultura" its the way to construct a better society, with good suplies tô the villages, and social justice. At Brazil we have Mr. Ernest Gotsch. Like Dr. Pili, at África, he is absolutly astonishing too. Thank's!
It inspires me so much. I study landscape architecture and dream of doing something like this (collecting water in nature, enriching the soil, creating self sufficient communities). Where I can find organisations like this to work with them? To bring meaningful change?
This video & COVID-19's inordinate impact the Navajo nation & I'd guess the other 1st nations peoples of the US, brings to mind how widespread application of permacultural practices on the Reservations could go a long way to alleviation of food insecurity, poverty and widespread poor health that's so prevalent. I also think that given the tragic history of Native American people, a successful permaculture approach would go some way to restoring at least a small proportion of self reliance, self worth & independence that decades of Reservation relegation by Europeans has undermined. To be clear, I'm not knowledgeable on the subject, mean no disrespect & realise that like anywhere else in the world, not everybody is living in deprived situations within these communities.
They need to follow similar principles. Paandi foundation and others all over the world have valuable information to share on the how to do this...... Some are even using animals to get the water to penetrate the land without eating all the vegetation...
@@mrzoukdotcomzouklambadaboo8212 Yes I've seen some of the videos you're referring to. Reservation relegation was a complete disaster at the time but in today's context, that much land availability should be en enormous boon if properly utilised. Poverty & hopelessness doesn't have to be a given for those suffering from it. Have you ever seen Geoff Lawton's Greening the Desert project UA-cam videos? They're filmed in Jordan & represent an incredible example of the appliance of science and permaculture design.
@@bernardfinucane2061 Definitely. One of Geoff Lawton's videos included a clip of an area filmed I think, in New Mexico, where as part of 1930's depression era job creation projects, huge swale & berms had been created. After about 80 years, the swale & berm was absolutely thick with species rich, dense, lush & very green vegetation. Beyond, was as you'd normally expect a desert to be. If I've understood things correctly, many of the Reservation lands are @ 1st glance, poor. But given the right management, residents could have a much better life AND I think, have the last laugh at the expense of those who stole their ancestors' land, relegating them to hopefully die in the dust.
Peter, you are an ignorant BIGOT! Many Indian Tribes have become RICH off agriculture. The Cherokee Nation have spent nearly 200 years raising cattle, chickens and hogs, as well as lots of truck farms. You certainly "are not knowledgeable on the subject", in fact, what you got right is NOTHING.
the treatment of native peoples is a direct reflection of our treatment of the earth and ourselves. grateful for this work- may the women of this country also regain their humanity too
You mean equality of opportunity not equality of outcome, right? Because equality of outcome is pure evil that requires a totalitarian state that will oppress, enslave, and kill millions.
so beautiful to see......good news in a hard time.......love this series as well.....thank you! this is what gives hope.....results are deeply seen and lived....yes we can !!
This is great, most people don't want to leave their country or way of life due to environmental displacement. This gives a lot of hope to those who think the only way to grow old and be happy/provided for is to have a fat retirement account, it isn't... nor has i ever been historically. Communities and families helping each other and using the advancements in technology to grow more than enough food for everyone, ideal.
Hello Andrew. Well, Ive been following the major water-lift projects but had no idea about these permaculture projects and must admit I'm staggered at the outcomes. These good indigenous people deserve all the help they are receiving and more. Please keep up your great reporting as its uplifting for all concerned including those who watch your great videos. Greetings from the UK John.
It is truely refreshing to see that in a country like India. they now realize the benefit of Trees again as a vital part of the greater ecosystem. You can farm and have a forest together! This will hopefully become the new Global model. they could really use this in Haiti.
@@stefanomoretti3664 So it is called "mahila bachat gat" or "Women's Savings Group". These villege women groups use saved money and start a small business needed in local community and/or lend money for businesses of other people and make profit on that. Government helps them by giving them a good interest rate on their profits that are put in a bank. They kind of have become local lending facilities.
I hope all their techniques, and knowledge from their work are being documented because this could be changed and adapted to help many countries worldwide.
The problem with the governement is that there are a lot of rules, institutions and bureaucracy put in place to prevent abuse of power, making it difficult and very slow to enact real change. Individuals and initiatives have a lot more freedom in what they can actually do. They can also focus their efforts on a smaller scale where they can really pay attention to details and context. They don't need to convince people beforehand that what they want to do is possible and helpful, they can just go ahead and try it and show people it works.
If the government helps they have to pay everyone a fair wage, which means more taxes which everyone hates. The government HAS to pay their employees. These people are VOLUNTEERING which is why they get so much done. So if you want this in your community, then do it. Volunteer! Advertise in your area, organize a group of people and go dig together. Waiting around for other people to do work for you for free isn't a very good strategy.
So amazing!! We have all the technology we need to grow the healthiest best food possible just takes people coming together and getting creative. There could be fruit, herbs, veg growing everywhere. Wild edible plants are important too.
Benefits all they do, great job! Independence while looking ahead, farming as its meant to grow . Diversity, permaculture, watersheds, drought tolerant, an abundance of natural beauty. Working together!
Instead of colonizing Mars, Elon Musk should just aim to terraform the world's arid Spots. This Indian scientist and NGOs deserve more recognition for helping both the planet and the people who depend on it.
@ you are right friend, like each one of us, EM has the freedom to do whatever he wants (as long as it's legal). What I meant to say was 'it would have been so much better for THIS planet if he had chosen to terraform the world's arid spots. A lot more people would have loved and respected him for that'. Regarding the vicious cycle of poverty in India, as an Indian, I attribute it to ignorance, gullibility and a cruel archaic class segregation of the general population on ethnic, linguistic, religious and racial lines. (think of it as a multidimensional racism). It's social oppression on a colossal scale.
Ru serious need to think diversely so human can grow going to Mars is going to open so many things so elon Musk is doing great not everyone should jump in one wagon
The best thing that anybody can do for those people is free contraceptions. Fewer kids mean fewer mouths to feed more food and money for education for the few kids they have it's a WIN-WIN-WIN situation WIN for the parents - WIN for their kids - WIN for everybody else (less completion for resources - land, water, wildlife). Everything else is short term and in the long term, it's not just useless it's harmful creating dependencies on outside help
After reading all the comments here, I realised most of us need to learn more about why there is poverty in India than starting suggesting solutions. EM is not blamed for India’s poverty and yup he is free to do whatever he wants to. It’s just than his brain put in here could mean more direct value to us.
@@mrdotkg What EM is doing is equally important as to what is happening in these permaculture environments. We can do both. They compliment each other.
This is true social justice! Can we implement these techniques in the US? The Native American people would not have to live with food shortage...can transform desert lands that once were green and fertile.
Great video I live in India but I had no idea what is going on in india for saving water and rain water harvesting untill I came across this video. Thank you
REALLY TREMENDOUS SUCCESS IN WATER MANAGEMENT IN INDIA, SPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF POOR PEOPLE LIVES AND IN TRIBAL AREA GREAT WORK DONE BY THE ORGANISATIONS...
It's projects like these that have restored my faith in humanity. Thank God. It's not too late to turn it around. Sahdguru has created a world wide effort to Save the Soil which is sorely lacking carbon content. Humans consist mainly of carbon. We came from the earth and will return to it. Food grown in substandard soil contains substandard vitamin, mineral and enzyme content. No wonder so many are I'll and die young from diseases.

Thank you so much for listing all the names of if the NGO’s working on this. I would love to do something too but am placed far off from India ☺️
That's true but is that being shown by major media houses ? The major media houses are only putting "all unwanted things" into people's home, mind.

The government is not interested in the welfare of the people. It is only interested in money.
The problem with the governement is that there are a lot of rules, institutions and bureaucracy put in place to prevent abuse of power, making it difficult and very slow to enact real change.
Individuals and initiatives have a lot more freedom in what they can actually do. They can also focus their efforts on a smaller scale where they can really pay attention to details and context.
They don't need to convince people beforehand that what they want to do is possible and helpful, they can just go ahead and try it and show people it works.
@@michele33s68 Monsanto has very low grip in India and only small market in my knowledge problem is the government policies
If the government helps they have to pay everyone a fair wage, which means more taxes which everyone hates. The government HAS to pay their employees. These people are VOLUNTEERING which is why they get so much done. So if you want this in your community, then do it. Volunteer! Advertise in your area, organize a group of people and go dig together. Waiting around for other people to do work for you for free isn't a very good strategy.
Middle finger to indian media .
Drcsc and panni foundation a big support .
Great work Andrew Millison👍👍👏👏👏
Not just Indian media middle finger to all mainstream media around the world as today most of them dont run proper news but there agenda
So amazing!! We have all the technology we need to grow the healthiest best food possible just takes people coming together and getting creative. There could be fruit, herbs, veg growing everywhere. Wild edible plants are important too.
I have also seen improved clay burners and probably some biogas burners. Great overall work for this organization, and very effective as well.
Thank you Andrew for Highlighting the Successful Stories of Ecological Agriculture and Human Efforts with Good will
Benefits all they do, great job! Independence while looking ahead, farming as its meant to grow . Diversity, permaculture, watersheds, drought tolerant, an abundance of natural beauty. Working together!
Instead of colonizing Mars, Elon Musk should just aim to terraform the world's arid Spots.
This Indian scientist and NGOs deserve more recognition for helping both the planet and the people who depend on it.
@ you are right friend, like each one of us, EM has the freedom to do whatever he wants (as long as it's legal).
What I meant to say was 'it would have been so much better for THIS planet if he had chosen to terraform the world's arid spots. A lot more people would have loved and respected him for that'.
Regarding the vicious cycle of poverty in India, as an Indian, I attribute it to ignorance, gullibility and a cruel archaic class segregation of the general population on ethnic, linguistic, religious and racial lines. (think of it as a multidimensional racism). It's social oppression on a colossal scale.
Ru serious need to think diversely so human can grow going to Mars is going to open so many things so elon Musk is doing great not everyone should jump in one wagon
The best thing that anybody can do for those people is free contraceptions. Fewer kids mean fewer mouths to feed more food and money for education for the few kids they have it's a WIN-WIN-WIN situation WIN for the parents - WIN for their kids - WIN for everybody else (less completion for resources - land, water, wildlife). Everything else is short term and in the long term, it's not just useless it's harmful creating dependencies on outside help
After reading all the comments here, I realised most of us need to learn more about why there is poverty in India than starting suggesting solutions. EM is not blamed for India’s poverty and yup he is free to do whatever he wants to. It’s just than his brain put in here could mean more direct value to us.
@@mrdotkg What EM is doing is equally important as to what is happening in these permaculture environments. We can do both. They compliment each other.
Andrew, your videos bring hope to a drying world. Thanks for showing everyone these people's work so that we can make the earth a better place
I love this! Seeing God in action feeding His people physically and spiritually.
I am proud of such people!!! Thank you
This is really innovative. Especially that steps like structure and concept of sokage pit is great. With lot of love.
I love this, how simple and relatively cheap would be to fix so much all over the planet
Vandana Shiva is awesome when it comes to this stuff. She is an example for us all. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for bring this work to light. Awesome content and edit. Keep up the good work.
This is true social justice! Can we implement these techniques in the US? The Native American people would not have to live with food shortage...can transform desert lands that once were green and fertile.
Outstanding .Remarkable.Proud of those People.
This shows how much innovation and ability there is in India! The government should be funding more of these projects nationwide.
Great video I live in India but I had no idea what is going on in india for saving water and rain water harvesting untill I came across this video. Thank you
Really loving it I visited these places a few years back totally transformed
Hats off to reporter & DRCSC
india is doing great instead of less resources and knowing the value of nature
REALLY TREMENDOUS SUCCESS IN WATER MANAGEMENT IN INDIA, SPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF POOR PEOPLE LIVES AND IN TRIBAL AREA GREAT WORK DONE BY THE ORGANISATIONS...
This series is great. What the people are doing together is very inspiring.
I wish people from different regions adopt this idea
Good food..good air..blue water... that's all we need
Thank you for introducing DRCSC works online 👍🙏🏼👍
This is why I have hope for humanity, and for the earth, and for the future of humanity on earth.
Being an Indian really proud of this. But getting this information from you!! Thanks.
This is transcendentalism nature
So encouraged and uplifted by these videos. God bless you all
I'm very grateful to you all guys for helping this communities.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏to all those who made it happen. Love India.
This is a far better solution than drilling wells which deplete groundwater and salinate the soil. Beautifull.
It's projects like these that have restored my faith in humanity. Thank God. It's not too late to turn it around. Sahdguru has created a world wide effort to Save the Soil which is sorely lacking carbon content. Humans consist mainly of carbon. We came from the earth and will return to it. Food grown in substandard soil contains substandard vitamin, mineral and enzyme content. No wonder so many are I'll and die young from diseases.
