@johnbanach3875 John I second your sentiment, and comment. Appreciate YT algo. for it's suggestions of late. Maybe percolated w mealworm-AI. :-) Thx you Andrew, in high regard.
I find andrews videos so calming: he is able to portrait a possible future in which humans live in a way more symbiotic relation with nature: somehow the positivity of that message is very soothing: is it the same for you?

You guys are all missing the point of the comment. They’re saying it would be good if other countries had their own version of the PAANI foundation and held mass projects and contests on sustainable agriculture.
There are villages in India where the incidence of stomach cancer is grossly, very grossly out of proportion with other populations and it has been directly tied to ag chemical use. This is just one example of what I was getting at. It's a problem all over the world. These chemicals are devastating air, water, soil, and life itself. They are also completely unnecessary to produce abundant food. They are incapable of producing nutritious food.@@earlysda
@@earlysda Sri Lanka had a lot of other problems besides banning fertilizer without securing a replacement supply of organic fertilizers. We can see in this video that the Paani Foundation is doing proper conversion of chemical to organic. The Paani process won't work everywhere, for every crop, but for many of the most chemical, water & fert intensive crops such as soy, cotton, and corn, they can be replaced with hemp, which uses less of all 3. Ag in the US uses far to many monocrops & chemical quick fixes and our poor health shows it.

The West has a very false notion of what India is based on self-justifying British Colonial propaganda which depicted India as a land of Eternal Poverty and Famine to cover up the Crimes Against Humanity of the British who looted (the word loot is Hindi) perhaps $45 Trillion from India (look up Jason Hickel India) and killed tens of millions of Indians in dozens of manmade famines (stealing India's foodgrains for British Profit and Food Security inc. the use of Death Camps for famine victims in 1877 under Disraeli) - see also Hickel and Sullivan's Dec 22 article on AJEnglish on how 100 million died in 40 years in the imperial zenith. George Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier (1936) that a 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort. India had been the richest country in the world for most of its history - Angus Maddison estimated that India was the world's largest economy for over 3/4 of the last 2,000 years before British plunder. You may also be interested in this response I gave to another commenter below about Ancient Indian Wisdom: We are not 5,000 years ahead but as I have shown in my scholarly works on synthesizing Science and Spirituality read by professors at places such as Oxford, Harvard and Princeton, as well as directors of Consciousness-Research institutes in the USA and in India, many ancient Indian ideas in Philosophy, Cosmology, Logic etc. were too advanced for the Western Mind of the 17th, 18th, 19th, and even 20th Century to appreciate and are only being appreciated today - such as the Indian notions of the the vast size and scale of the universe, with cyclic universes bubbling forth in a multiverse out of the Infinite Plenum/Void of Pure Formless Consciousness. The Greeks and Christians etc. held to a Geocentric universe which extended only to Neptune and existed for a few thousand years! It was Indian mathematical notions of Zero and Infinity derived from experience of the Plenum/Void that later influenced Cusanus and Bruno to suggest an infinite universe in the middle ages. As the 18th Century Germans and scholars such as Joseph Campbell, Thomas McEvilley etc. have acknowledged, contra Eurocentric myths of colonial Classics, true conceptual Philosophy originated in India with the Upanisads (Vedanta) centuries before Philosophy appeared in Miletia via the Ionian contacts with Indians in the Persian Empire. My work, identifying the physical correlate of the Inner Light of Pure Consciousness (Godhead) etc. with the brainwaves of the Reticular Activating System confirms what the likes of Erwin Schrodinger (who created Quantum Wave Mechanics influenced by his lifelong advocacy of Vedanta with its Akasa - Space as Subtle Matter characterized by vibration) argued that Quantum Wave Mechanics [particles are merely abstractions from wave activity] reflects the Oneness and Interconnectedness of Advaita (Nondual) Vedanta. Heisenberg said that he too was influenced by Indian Vedanta in his role in inventing QM and stated that it came as a great comfort to him (talking to Tagore etc.) to find that an entire Great Civilization - India - already held to a view resembling that of QM which had shocked the Western Mind. 5th Century c.e. Indian Buddhist logician Dignaga anticipated and solved logical problems related to Truth Functions which were left unresolved by the likes of Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein in 20th Century Europe. Robert Oppenheimer wrote that Indian Buddhist logic was too sophisticated for 18th Century Europeans. Hindu Nyaya formal logic was not surpassed in Europe until Boolean algebra in the 19th Century. Again contra the Eurocentric, White Supremacist myths of Western History, most of what the Renaissance West called Modern Mathematics i.e. Modern Arithmetic [Cambridge mathematical physicist John Barrow calls the Indian Decimal Place Value Number System with Zero - the greatest intellectual invention ever made by humans); Modern Algebra (copied from Ancient Indian Bijaganita by Persian al-Khwarizmi into Arabic (as with Arithmetic) as Colebrooke showed as long ago as 1817), Trigonometry inc. Sine Function; Negative Numbers, Imaginary Numbers - and even Infinitesimal Calculus (the basis of Modern Physics) are of Indian origin - see Christian Yates' 5 Ways Ancient India Changed the World with Maths. Calculus actually originated with Bhaskara II and Madhava - 500 years and 200 years before Newton. Even if Newton did not know of the earlier Indian Calculus, as Charles Seife showed in his book Zero - the Science of Descartes (Cartesian Coordinates) and Newton's calculus would have been impossible without Indian Maths with the Zero and Infinity. Aryabhatta's work Aryabhatiya 499 c.e. - taught the West Trigonometry when translated into Latin centuries before Copernicus and contained Heliocentric models - which were used by other Indian astronomers long before Copernicus' so-called Revolution! As Colebrooke showed, the Greeks only inherited Babylonian algebra and made little advance. The first Greek to use algebra and symbolic equations was Diphantus in the 4th Century c.e. and his work was vastly inferior to Indian Algebra. Indians also invented algebraic analysis for Astronomy etc. For Greeks, Maths was mainly just Geometry. Renaissance Italians paid to watch mathematicians do tricks such as calculate 7 times 14 in their heads at town fairs using Indian Arithmetic as such calculations seemed magical given the primitive status of Greek and Roman numerals for doing calculations! Many of the best-connected researchers linked to the US government and intelligence agencies, who have been involved in the study of consciousness-related phenomena and UAP, such as electrical engineering Professor Willis Harman (ex-Head of Stanford Research Institute during Project Stargate - Psychic Spying as confirmed by Jimmy Carter), Dr Edgar Mitchell (physicist and 6th man on the moon - who had a cosmic consciousness experience on re-entry of Apollo 14) and Dr Jacques Vallee (astronomer, IT pioneer and J.Allen Hynek’s colleague on Project Bluebook) argue that UAP need to be understood within the broader context of a new science based on the Primacy of Consciousness. Harman, who called for a Synthesis of Science and Mysticism also wrote that the new Post-Materialist Science of the Future will be based on Indian Metaphysics with its Primacy of Consciousness and Transcendentalism. After receiving a copy of my 1999 work, Japanese physicist Shiuji Inomata wrote a letter to thank me. He mentioned that ten million Japanese TV viewers heard him repeating Harman’s conclusions in his inaugural speech to the 1998 Tokyo conference of Eastern Philosophy and Science.

No other civilization knows this nature like indians do. They are 5000 years ahead of every other nation on planet. In spite of 1000 years of loot , India can still feed 1.4B people for many years to come. Great nation. Great wisdom.
While in another part of the world they are chasing after machinery and the internet technology. Hope Indians wont be trapped or lured to follow the Western mindset. Nurture these farmers _ the old fashioned, clean way of farming.
These techniques are based on permaculture, which is NOT an Indian concept. It's already being widely adopted all over the world. India is pretty late in the game actually
@@privisuals9888 we are late because of moghuls & Europeans 1200 years of invasion of just not looting& killing but tarnished our schools, education system, libraries, guruskul system and our manuscripts that carried great inventions in palm leaves. Bhaktiat , a Turkish invader razed world's first Nalanda university burnt 3 million manuscripts to ashes. Just imagine our Yoga that is atleast 6000 years of greatest human science & Ayurveda medicinal system that even carried out surgeries 3000 years back. But invasions broken the continuity. It's not India's loss alone but loss to humanity of what advancement could have happened 2509 years ago has been delayed and happening now only due to invaders. Unlike west holding patents and looting govts, Bharat could have given free to this world.
THIS IS SO AMAZING! I am literally so mindblown. Just watching the video gave me so many ideas about natural water management, self initiative (that birthday planting OMG!!!!!!), citizen science, religious integration, food culture and so much more. Many of these are super applicable in my personal community. I cannot say this enough. This is amazing and I hope more villages replicate this especially in the climate crisis. Much love from the Philippines.
Banyan tree worship is not just 500 years old though the tree in thar village might be. There are references in Ramayan also of Sita praying to Banyan tree. It's amazing how beautifully you covered the core of the culture with the environmental transformation
@@earlysda I'm going to ignore the fact that water is a chemical and say that the situation in Sri Lanka was more to do with people in government haphazardly passing laws about professions they knew nothing about rather than seeking alternatives to mass produced pesticides and fertilizers. These villages in India have proven you can achieve what was intended in Sri Lanka if you take practical steps at the ground level and work with the locals rather than making an arbitrary ban on nitrogen.
@@earlysda india used to do farming without chemicals since ages. we only had organic fertilizer - cow dung. this is enough to farm. even during the british imperialism time we still had organic fertilizer only..... its only after world war 2 the west factories that made bombs had to stay idle - they in greed for money used the same chemicals as fertilizer and forced it on the countries including india - thats how chemical fertilizers came into existence. and u being a evangelist nut head cant understand or believe truth.... u blindly follow a single book. if u really seek truth then come here i will show many farms that never use any chemical fertilizer and yet produce more yield than the chemical farming farms next to them. if u r a seeker of truth come and visit farms srilanka was done without any training to farmers - they too lost the knowledge of natural farming over decades and sudden change without knowledge led to problems
India was once a very fertile land. Before the green revolution in India the farmers practiced the farming that was followed by their ancestors and the farmers were happy and got money to lead their lives. But with chemicals they started loosing money in farming. Now they are going back to the real farming.
Green revolution was a necessity for "that" time, food production was not very high, india had to import low quality food from foreign, plus farming practices were previously affected due to Britishers during colonial period. Strategically also, India was going through a lot of tensions with China and Pakistan, and West being a close aid to Pakistan, could have used their sanctions to starve the Indian population, so Green revolution was necessary, and chemical fertilizers and Pesticides was not the only output of green revolution, tractors, combiners, water pumps, techniques of farming, etc innovations also helped. Though obviously, now we need to change the techniques and need to ahift back to organic farming, coz nation is now more stable.
America really needs to get with the program and do some projects like this. id love to see thousands of us digging earthworks projects by hand to help our towns and cities, and ofc we have plenty of machinery to help also. we really have the power to re-green all of our desert states if we would just put in the work. one billionaire could do a project and show how useful it is and that could be a domino to get much more funding from other people.
you advocate all these big local government policies and your username is that big government is the problem. without an expansive local government these people could not collimate their energies to producing beneficial waterworks.
Soooooo awesome! 🕉️ ☀️ 🌸 💦 🦋 Great job India and the villages whose people have taken up the torch to light the way for their neighbors and other countries!
This is the difference between we indian and Chinese… here(in india) govt is weak but community is strong, in China community is weak but govt is strong.
This is like learning Veda from England. We indians knew that bio Treat for centuries. It was the Angrez who forced us to change our ancient practice. After independence the netas, Kala Angrez , did not care. We are once again rediscovering the old truth. Damn with chemical Fertilizer, insecticide, pesticides and Western Seeds.
You were in India about 5 months back so I am assuming your footage is from April / May 2023. Which means it was BEFORE monsoon and yet we see so many earthworks with water in them. It’s phenomenal that these structures are carrying water for upto 6-7 months after the last rainfall. Amazing.
Thank you Andrew for your showing the importance and the impact of this incredible work. Nothing has given me more active hope than your series. Lots of love from switzerland
Thank you all : )! Thank you Paani foundation and Andrew Millison and all villagers who worked to restore their lands and restored the water tables are truly a light onto all the nations : )!
Great coverage and muchmore awaited follow up on villages that participated in the Paani water cu and now Farmers cup. I haveto todo rejoice to see how broad scale localized permaculture designs ( many who' s roots no doubt came from India) is abundantly blessing so many people. This is no doubt the models that can bless all the Earth if we will each do what we can! Thank you !
This is amazing. With trees comes better air which will benefit health too. What a wonderful community. I am in awe for the beauty of this village, the great care they take for the environment to flurish alongside them. I am sure they will see lots of blessings to come. Much love❤
I am typing this as I watch this. Andrew sir, I am so happy that you posted another story in this series. This series gives me hope and makes me wanna believe in a world where tomorrow isn't dark and gloomy but it is bright and full of opportunities for our future generations.
Andrew, your channel is the one channel I personally appreciate and admire the most regarding permaculture studies. Thank you so much for sharing so much education and passion to what is such a vital, nourishing, and noble practice in life. Wishing you and your loved ones my very best wishes from Monterrey, Mexico : )
This series is a perfect example of making a difference with determination, people and incentive. Just money will never accomplish the same results. Can these episodes be longer 😁👍
It seems to me that India is the wisest emerging country, with many states now involved in helpful practices for our planet. Hopefully they're working on human rights as well.
Trust me there’s no human rights violation happening in India. Whatever they show you in news is because India is going through a huge geopolitical shift right now and Chinese funded media peddles out propaganda against India and human rights thing. The government of India actually provides the poor people free food and shelter too. Our poverty is going away at a steady rate now and the destruction of the colonial rule is being left behind slowly and India is just reclaiming its original position from thousands of years ago when it was the most prosperous land in the world.
I think a tree should be planted on every Indian ceremony. Every year on birthday, marriage, marriage anniversary, child birth, child naming ceremony, first day of child initiated by their Guru, the graduation ceremony, and many more, in fact we have too many festivals and each festival can be a wonderful opportunity to plant a tree. Janmashtami, birthday of Lord Krishna is soon coming and then Dussehra, Diwali. Each festival should be a step to connect with divine by revering mother nature. Sri Ramakrishna said it is no use criticizing Maya as illusion and evil. Rather be humble and take a different approach. Bow in reverence in front of Maaya as divine mother and she will step aside by itself to help us be one with reality. So serving nature as mother is a beautiful reminder of how we should truly celebrate our festivals in India. God bless Paani Foundation and all the scientists, farmers in it and Aamir Khan and you for doing such great work. 🙏🏻
At the end of the video Andrew sells his PDC (Permaculture Design Class). I live in Oregon and went to OSU in the early 1980s. He wasn't a professor there yet but OSU was ahead of 99% of the world's universities in actually deeply studying the effects of slowing down the water again and letting it soak into the riparian zones. They studied against the "best practices" of the times which included getting all of the water off the land and strait out to the ocean as fast as possible. Dr. Millison is known as a master teacher with one of the best grasps of all of the rediscovered realities of permaculture, restorative farming, silvoculture... watershed restoration. He is known as a "cyclone of assimilation" and packages it all for us in connected and coherent ways so you can walk away with an understanding instead of shaking your head just stuffed with too many facts. It costs money because it is through the university but worth ten-fold the cost.

Andrew sir, The information on your channel is Goldmine. This video was a pleasur for the eyes and soul..seeing the mother earth heal with right way of life. Deep Love, Respect for the Guru...Gurudev...Dev means God...
Indian Civilization was always ahead of its time...with step wells for water preservation..natural agriculture..respect to cow nd Banynan tree ..with festival in rural India for soil respect..with natural medicinal plants in homes for basic treatment...using Turmeric nd varies spices which has anti-inflammatory property in our food..with use of natural Oils for hair to keep mind relax...to light diyas nd incense sticks to keep home aura pure...etc etc...these things that I told you is still practiced now...ND many lost due to centuries of invasion in India...But India is still gonna stand strong nd protect its roots ...Love India
It is so interesting to see how progress on this topic is happening in India first and that the information is spreading from there: I hope that the knowledge and evidence created in this project can help us copy these structures and strategies to prevent floods all over the world and guarantee better water and food security long term. Yet another great video, thank you for your amazing work!
Thanks Andrew for teaching us about our own country, region and its problems! Pani foundation was a part of a hit TV show in the state of MH. But people probably soon forgot and some (privately) hate the film star due to what he said or his religion. India, as any other country is much complicated than we can think.

Bharat is food basket for rest of the world, thats all we need. Not foreign investment for high rise building and industrialization, creates poverty to the humanity. Sir your service and guidance is highly appreciated.

Dude this made my day thanks for showing us all this!! I hope more people start posting positive content like this instead of all the negative bs that so many channels focus on, i believe the key to a brighter future is positivity and afermative action.
Love, light and many blessings Andrew
Sharing it with your community is a way to help others become aware and inspired! 💚💚💚
No other civilization knows this nature like indians do. They are 5000 years ahead of every other nation on planet. In spite of 1000 years of loot , India can still feed 1.4B people for many years to come. Great nation. Great wisdom.
🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
While in another part of the world they are chasing after machinery and the internet technology. Hope Indians wont be trapped or lured to follow the Western mindset. Nurture these farmers _ the old fashioned, clean way of farming.
💯
These techniques are based on permaculture, which is NOT an Indian concept. It's already being widely adopted all over the world. India is pretty late in the game actually
@@privisuals9888 we are late because of moghuls & Europeans 1200 years of invasion of just not looting& killing but tarnished our schools, education system, libraries, guruskul system and our manuscripts that carried great inventions in palm leaves. Bhaktiat , a Turkish invader razed world's first Nalanda university burnt 3 million manuscripts to ashes. Just imagine our Yoga that is atleast 6000 years of greatest human science & Ayurveda medicinal system that even carried out surgeries 3000 years back. But invasions broken the continuity. It's not India's loss alone but loss to humanity of what advancement could have happened 2509 years ago has been delayed and happening now only due to invaders. Unlike west holding patents and looting govts, Bharat could have given free to this world.
This video is proof that smart work is not only just greater than hard work, but it a force multiplier. Inspirational
THIS IS SO AMAZING! I am literally so mindblown. Just watching the video gave me so many ideas about natural water management, self initiative (that birthday planting OMG!!!!!!), citizen science, religious integration, food culture and so much more. Many of these are super applicable in my personal community.
I cannot say this enough. This is amazing and I hope more villages replicate this especially in the climate crisis.
Much love from the Philippines.
Andrew Millison my man you are a legend. Thank you for what you bring into our the world, you deserve the welcoming they gave you.
Banyan tree worship is not just 500 years old though the tree in thar village might be. There are references in Ramayan also of Sita praying to Banyan tree. It's amazing how beautifully you covered the core of the culture with the environmental transformation
Of course!!! It's about using both our intelligence and heart :)
YES NEVER USE CHEMICALS. Wow. what a beautiful village. Their spirits are so beautiful.
Sure, become like Sri Lanka!
It's my village🙏
@@earlysda I'm going to ignore the fact that water is a chemical and say that the situation in Sri Lanka was more to do with people in government haphazardly passing laws about professions they knew nothing about rather than seeking alternatives to mass produced pesticides and fertilizers. These villages in India have proven you can achieve what was intended in Sri Lanka if you take practical steps at the ground level and work with the locals rather than making an arbitrary ban on nitrogen.
@@greasybumpkin1661greasy is "going to ignore the fact that water is a chemical".
.
Are you training to become a comedian?
@@earlysda india used to do farming without chemicals since ages. we only had organic fertilizer - cow dung. this is enough to farm. even during the british imperialism time we still had organic fertilizer only..... its only after world war 2 the west factories that made bombs had to stay idle - they in greed for money used the same chemicals as fertilizer and forced it on the countries including india - thats how chemical fertilizers came into existence. and u being a evangelist nut head cant understand or believe truth.... u blindly follow a single book.
if u really seek truth then come here i will show many farms that never use any chemical fertilizer and yet produce more yield than the chemical farming farms next to them. if u r a seeker of truth come and visit farms
srilanka was done without any training to farmers - they too lost the knowledge of natural farming over decades and sudden change without knowledge led to problems
India was once a very fertile land. Before the green revolution in India the farmers practiced the farming that was followed by their ancestors and the farmers were happy and got money to lead their lives. But with chemicals they started loosing money in farming. Now they are going back to the real farming.
Green revolution was a necessity for "that" time, food production was not very high, india had to import low quality food from foreign, plus farming practices were previously affected due to Britishers during colonial period.
Strategically also, India was going through a lot of tensions with China and Pakistan, and West being a close aid to Pakistan, could have used their sanctions to starve the Indian population, so Green revolution was necessary, and chemical fertilizers and Pesticides was not the only output of green revolution, tractors, combiners, water pumps, techniques of farming, etc innovations also helped.
Though obviously, now we need to change the techniques and need to ahift back to organic farming, coz nation is now more stable.
America really needs to get with the program and do some projects like this. id love to see thousands of us digging earthworks projects by hand to help our towns and cities, and ofc we have plenty of machinery to help also. we really have the power to re-green all of our desert states if we would just put in the work. one billionaire could do a project and show how useful it is and that could be a domino to get much more funding from other people.
Absolutely!
you advocate all these big local government policies and your username is that big government is the problem. without an expansive local government these people could not collimate their energies to producing beneficial waterworks.
Soooooo awesome! 🕉️ ☀️ 🌸 💦 🦋 Great job India and the villages whose people have taken up the torch to light the way for their neighbors and other countries!
This is the difference between we indian and Chinese… here(in india) govt is weak but community is strong, in China community is weak but govt is strong.
Thank you Andrew Sir for covering this story... as a Maharashtrian i feel very proud.. JAI HIND ... JAI MAHARASHTRA
Mesmerizing i hope all Indian villages will go for organic farming Mother Nature gives you more when you respect her and treat her well
Loved your drawing of Hanuman carrying the mountain. (9:05 - 9:15).
Hanuman is the main deity of this village:-)
@@amillison Great to know that. Makes a lot more sense now - why you chose to include that drawing there. :)
This is like learning Veda from England. We indians knew that bio Treat for centuries. It was the Angrez who forced us to change our ancient practice. After independence the netas, Kala Angrez , did not care. We are once again rediscovering the old truth.
Damn with chemical Fertilizer, insecticide, pesticides and Western Seeds.
Thank you Andrew for telling these amazing stories! What an awesome thing these communities are doing.
You were in India about 5 months back so I am assuming your footage is from April / May 2023. Which means it was BEFORE monsoon and yet we see so many earthworks with water in them. It’s phenomenal that these structures are carrying water for upto 6-7 months after the last rainfall. Amazing.
जय महाराष्ट्र जय भारत जय पेमगिरी 👏
So glad you have created that university course Andrew - it looks like India has become the poster child for permaculture practices on a grand scale!!
Thank you so much for the great work!❤
May mother India and this sacred land bless you with prosperity and health!
Love from 🇮🇳 Bharatvarsh
This made me so happy and truly amazed. I cried all episode! Beauty ❤ how people can peacefully cooperate!!!!!+
Always love to watch your update on how Paani Foundation’s work is making lives of the villagers better. Please keep posting the updates, Andrew.
I'm appreciate that so much. I will be releasing many more updates throughout the next while. Stay tuned! :)
Thank you Andrew for your showing the importance and the impact of this incredible work. Nothing has given me more active hope than your series. Lots of love from switzerland
Putting out these two courses - this is massive! Thank you!
Thank you all : )! Thank you Paani foundation and Andrew Millison and all villagers who worked to restore their lands and restored the water tables are truly a light onto all the nations : )!
May Vitthal bless you immensely for showing this to you. 🙏🏻
Great coverage and muchmore awaited follow up on villages that participated in the Paani water cu and now Farmers cup. I haveto todo rejoice to see how broad scale localized permaculture designs ( many who' s roots no doubt came from India) is abundantly blessing so many people. This is no doubt the models that can bless all the Earth if we will each do what we can! Thank you !
Thank you for showing our Hanuman ji 🕉️❤️ in video 😊.
Love from India 🇮🇳
This is amazing. With trees comes better air which will benefit health too. What a wonderful community. I am in awe for the beauty of this village, the great care they take for the environment to flurish alongside them. I am sure they will see lots of blessings to come. Much love❤
Yay, a win for the future!
Makes me so happy! This is how life should be! Helping each other in the Creator’s abundance!
I am typing this as I watch this. Andrew sir, I am so happy that you posted another story in this series. This series gives me hope and makes me wanna believe in a world where tomorrow isn't dark and gloomy but it is bright and full of opportunities for our future generations.
millison definetly deserve our warm welcome in the traditional format.. u r a trasure in spreading organic or vedic way of farming and living
This is the most wholesome and motivating series on UA-cam!
Andrew, your channel is the one channel I personally appreciate and admire the most regarding permaculture studies. Thank you so much for sharing so much education and passion to what is such a vital, nourishing, and noble practice in life.
Wishing you and your loved ones my very best wishes from Monterrey, Mexico : )
Imagine doing this across northern Nevada. Thanks for yet another informative video. I am wishing those people generations of lush green lands.
Thank you Andrew 👌🏻👍🏻💪🏻👀 Best wishes to you and Right Information.
The village looks like heaven! So beautiful!
Thank you Andrew for visiting that village and provide us valuable information
You're welcome!
Absolutely Fantastic
I dont know why I just love compost. The whole process is so damn cool to me, and the end product is so beneficial to everything.
This is beautiful. You are showing the world what is possible and what people are doing. Amazing!
Simply amazing.
This series is a perfect example of making a difference with determination, people and incentive. Just money will never accomplish the same results. Can these episodes be longer 😁👍
It seems to me that India is the wisest emerging country, with many states now involved in helpful practices for our planet. Hopefully they're working on human rights as well.
human rights or western standard human rights?
Trust me there’s no human rights violation happening in India. Whatever they show you in news is because India is going through a huge geopolitical shift right now and Chinese funded media peddles out propaganda against India and human rights thing.
The government of India actually provides the poor people free food and shelter too.
Our poverty is going away at a steady rate now and the destruction of the colonial rule is being left behind slowly and India is just reclaiming its original position from thousands of years ago when it was the most prosperous land in the world.
I think a tree should be planted on every Indian ceremony. Every year on birthday, marriage, marriage anniversary, child birth, child naming ceremony, first day of child initiated by their Guru, the graduation ceremony, and many more, in fact we have too many festivals and each festival can be a wonderful opportunity to plant a tree.
Janmashtami, birthday of Lord Krishna is soon coming and then Dussehra, Diwali. Each festival should be a step to connect with divine by revering mother nature.
Sri Ramakrishna said it is no use criticizing Maya as illusion and evil. Rather be humble and take a different approach. Bow in reverence in front of Maaya as divine mother and she will step aside by itself to help us be one with reality.
So serving nature as mother is a beautiful reminder of how we should truly celebrate our festivals in India. God bless Paani Foundation and all the scientists, farmers in it and Aamir Khan and you for doing such great work. 🙏🏻
Incredible India!
At the end of the video Andrew sells his PDC (Permaculture Design Class). I live in Oregon and went to OSU in the early 1980s. He wasn't a professor there yet but OSU was ahead of 99% of the world's universities in actually deeply studying the effects of slowing down the water again and letting it soak into the riparian zones. They studied against the "best practices" of the times which included getting all of the water off the land and strait out to the ocean as fast as possible. Dr. Millison is known as a master teacher with one of the best grasps of all of the rediscovered realities of permaculture, restorative farming, silvoculture... watershed restoration. He is known as a "cyclone of assimilation" and packages it all for us in connected and coherent ways so you can walk away with an understanding instead of shaking your head just stuffed with too many facts. It costs money because it is through the university but worth ten-fold the cost.
Wow, thanks 🙏 I appreciate the affirmation
The Nobel foundation should consider them
Jai ho bharat
Excellent 👌 You are doing wonderful job, thanks 🙏
Slowly Slowly =Kueni Kueni in Mixteco--a great philosophy.

We (human kind) will rejuvenate and heal our planet, and India is leading the way
Jesus is coming soon to judge the world in righteousness.
@@earlysda I have heard that for the last 40 years, you sure he didn't get lost somewhere. 😄
@@samkupp1390 sam, 2Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
.
Please repent today.
I love that you share so much of what you see that is good and helpful! teamwork and education of the Water Cup! Permaculture analysis! Rainfall increases from planting trees! Increased efforts by villagers after they witness the immediate gains! Virtuous Cycles!
Water is life ! Amazing & very encouraging. Keep it up 👍👍
It is great to see revitalization projects from around the world.
Great job to the communities who are doing this amazing work, Andrew and everyone who helps make these inspiring educational videos.
@andrewmillison if you are ever on Hawaii Island, I'd be glad to show you some revitalizing permaculture installations that integrate native, Hawaiian, food/medicine, and useful plants with biofertilizers/biochar to rapidly revitalize the soil up to three feet deep while naturally eliminating weeds from the equation.
I think you can appreciate the work we are doing here including collaborating with Hawaiian owned forest farms.
This was always Indian village life
Beautiful, shoulder to shoulder we can change the world to a better place- BRAVO İndia.
amazing work one of underdogs of world
Makes me want to leave Mumbai and go live in India ;))
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! Almost unbelievably simple but extremely effective. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and especially health to all involved life forms (humans, animals and plants).
this should go viral. Many states in India has water shortages.
that's great work India. Using compost teas and composted cow manure is the way to go.
Incredible!! Imagine the possibilities if people started doing this globally!
so cool, good to know
This needs to be done worldwide...
beautiful. Thank you for sharing this
This is gorgious❤❤❤
Fantastic this is it. 🙏
Andrew sir, The information on your channel is Goldmine. This video was a pleasur for the eyes and soul..seeing the mother earth heal with right way of life. Deep Love, Respect for the Guru...Gurudev...Dev means God...
This is exactly what should be taught
7:01 mins in, the water structures at the top of the mountain are impressive.
Most impressive!
CCT continuous counter trenches.
Totally awesome
I was itching for another episode!
Awesome
What a welcome to the village ❤
Indian Civilization was always ahead of its time...with step wells for water preservation..natural agriculture..respect to cow nd Banynan tree ..with festival in rural India for soil respect..with natural medicinal plants in homes for basic treatment...using Turmeric nd varies spices which has anti-inflammatory property in our food..with use of natural Oils for hair to keep mind relax...to light diyas nd incense sticks to keep home aura pure...etc etc...these things that I told you is still practiced now...ND many lost due to centuries of invasion in India...But India is still gonna stand strong nd protect its roots ...Love India
5:30 how lucky you guys are to be the first foreigners to visit here. I’m going to visit this place for sure
Welcome!!
Dear Andrew, I love your videos but especially the videos on the Paani foundation work. Thank you for your efforts.
I am so glad! You're welcome, and thank you for the kind words! :)
Good to see such positive action, Natures way is win win. Peace .......
It is so interesting to see how progress on this topic is happening in India first and that the information is spreading from there: I hope that the knowledge and evidence created in this project can help us copy these structures and strategies to prevent floods all over the world and guarantee better water and food security long term.
Yet another great video, thank you for your amazing work!
Jai Bharat 🇮🇳✌️
Thanks Andrew for teaching us about our own country, region and its problems! Pani foundation was a part of a hit TV show in the state of MH. But people probably soon forgot and some (privately) hate the film star due to what he said or his religion. India, as any other country is much complicated than we can think. Your work and dedication is commendable and gives new hope! Will check the course
All the answers we need are right here on our beautiful planet.
Bharat is food basket for rest of the world, thats all we need. Not foreign investment for high rise building and industrialization, creates poverty to the humanity. Sir your service and guidance is highly appreciated.
What an amazing welcome you got there, it is really touching and everything is so colourful and beautiful. What a day!
Wow salute to all these people helping each other
This is how you save the climate and the planet. You actually put in the work using science and research. The UN should take notes... all they know is meeting and conventions... alloting budget and then hoarding all that money for themselves. If all nations did this then imagine the results.
That welcome was emotional to watch🥹
