A fundamental shift in other nations should put forward thats what we talk about to make hello welcome to eco india. Coming to you from the streets of the remote bike for the last few months my family has been experimenting with cooking with my grandmas recipes largely because a lot of the ingredients have been very easily accessible to us that means were very little and models and a lot of coconut garden and draw mango rice and not just we met in bangor who before the lockdown is encouraging his community to tell unique project dont do local and seasonal fruit. Of. A typical traditional indian meat rice or braid so with a variety of side dishes each made up of a number of ingredients. But as india has used so too has the weights people eat meals have become foster easy. And much less diverse with many ingredients even being flown in from around the world a study found that around a 3rd of what it means eat comes from abroad. Gendron is a campaigner for the revival of traditional food a mother of 2 she set up a gardener for the palace she grows through and vegetables. From limes in chile easter tomatoes and ginger much of its native to india it fulfills almost all her needs. Its a cycle in the west from my kitchen goes to the tardis and the vegetables come to get. The gender and does not just want to be able to feed herself and a family she grows mostly indigenous seeds in an attempt to preserve and works with were trying to do the same so what people do is the state. Procured these new few seeds its shared from god no to god but you dont get to you dont get to see them in the market at all you go on as their native seeds had seeds their family. The force behind the movement to save indigenous foodstuffs is artist and gardener so. He has founded a revival project called surge or poorer countries it encourages people to grow locally and seasonal foods that have slowly disappeared from their lives. But they dont get in the lists so people made in the big season they would add 15. 00 to 20. 00 kind of greens in one county now it has come to 2 or 3 types which most of them are buying from the shops and shops selling what farmers are growing and farmers are growing what people are selling cmon runs a Community Garden on the outskirts of bungalows in the village of. Holly it is filled with interesting crops that are hard to look this is squashed like fruit used as a vegetable and cooking as a bottle of good we have to break open the spa. The treasure is in sight. It is in the seats. So you see it can be at least 10 people theres a high limit i did and. It can be i dont like. It can feed like 23 families. As food with a better taste and flip. Seeds to produce more nutritious fruit and vegetables many edible plants want to grew around the village but will litters have lost the skills to harvest them. That the current generation doesnt know what is and is not a bunch of the can go in for us and we want to give the mission to go into the landscape is not clean anymore you see the lot of construction moving around and things like that so that is the reason actually i want to revive them. And it is not just learning to forage in past months at least 15 real families have been inspired by the project they have started their own Kitchen Garden state media around 50 per cent of their daily needs. For good gendron growing their own food is something she enjoys doing but with that income are in this village she can see how the garden project can be important in the larger scheme of things. You know a fact that the really just the farmers dont grow their own food its more for the market so they are you know and he was taken to he had taken to this project to make them grow their own food and so it was i was more than happy to we create all do it might not be so important to our livelihood gender has found another sense of purpose to her garden. It has changed me as a person. Since im also working. For. So i have this Kitchen Garden has helped me is a main distress. It has helped me to unwind and the end of the day no matter how busy the day has been so i dont know if the day a few minutes going and sitting in the garden just looking at the plants and everything has made a lot of change to my mind and body she hopes through the project more people are able to eat healthier and learn to respect natural traditional systems of food again.

Chowdhury advised his colleagues for free for many poor farmers he is the only source of information about new farming methods he also teaches the basics. But other thing is to get well versed in crop and plant diseases and new farmers need to stay abreast of the markets so their crops can command good prices but not at that 1. 400. 00 greenhouses have already gone up around the village chowdhury also explains how farming can flourish when you take a circular closed loop or holistic approach.

There was a time when chickens were only seen becky and scratching in the countryside so wanted by lost open spaces thats no longer the case in the us backyard chickens are popping up in suburbs and cities and now the pandemic may ensure that this trend is here to stay. Is that its pretty emma its bossy. Trudy is feisty. And mary lays an egg every day. The 4 hens have been guests at the home of felicity of burckhardt and craig or bengal or in the northern suburbs of berlin for here now this is how it came to pass. As a capsule i mean guns inside then more meant just that and i was once stuck in a traffic jam at some point and there was a livestock transporter in front of me. I sensed a tad towards this that got me thinking about what kind of lives animals leads on the net and if one could give at least a few really good life as they had to for most i wanted to get to know how chickens lived as he didnt and since we have a garden i thought theyd feel right at home here. They would have plenty to eat and theyd also give us many of them have been doing funding. Their diet consists of grains and fresh greens but also kitchen waste. In the summertime the hens lay an egg almost every day. And to the south of berlin Mathias Schmidt an environmental engineer by profession took up chicken breeding 4 years ago he rents out the offspring of a man whos been rising and not just during the coronavirus crisis. Supermarket go to. These enormous grim dollar keep seeing scandals in the food industry. Theyre the bad eggs animal stalls sprayed with toxins that end up in food if you were to go and you know antibiotics and chicken pigs and cattle. Move into work every time that happens people stop and think for a moment what are we doing what are we eating. Berlin is home to almost 4000000 people and the growing number of chickens some big city dwellers come from the countryside and find that having a feathery friend reminds them of home. But chicken love can turn sour more and more abandoned birds are found wandering the city streets this Animal Shelter has its work cut out. As this commitment to yes im off it sounds great to get fresh eggs from your own head on your own balcony the problem is most people have no idea how to look after chickens properly what they need to be happy how every species has its special needs chickens in the in a city or in my own starter in my view. If they dont belong on a balcony on the 11th floor they need space a yard imagine that it will. My ts smith does most of his business with clients in the suburbs who have gardens. He rents out for hands with a big cage stall equipment and feed for about 300. 00 euros a month. The gun family considers it educational. We wanted to show the children where food comes from the animal products dont just appear in the supermarket so this is one small way to bring the matter home to them literally where things come from meat from chickens and also eggs. Rented chicks started in the United States but its catching on in many parts. Of the ts smith also rents to kindergarten schools and old peoples homes. Emma trudy ilsa and mary however are for keeps but they also risk getting eaten when the time comes their designated dual purpose poultry giving eggs and meat. Their foster parents actually do the deed. Is go. Into i dont think youll ever be able to slaughter a chicken at least not any of our 4 if we call them by their names we couldnt do it were very fond of them. So these 4 birds ended up with softies others arent so lucky. Another advantage of keeping chickens watching them can be very very calming. Like this something the germans are very serious about its great in fact german print is even on doing this course in. The head it interest but in recent years the franchise because have been growing that a few wanted a few traditional businesses the big coup in some parts of the country that a whole community.

For many of us food is pleasure its a part of our culture and history but can you imagine food without water access to clean water is still a long. In some indian cities maybe little in south india for example is quickly drying up and with more and more people having to the city the demand for water has increased multi food fortunately for bending over a group of water warriors has been silently working on providing water security to the city one recharge well at a time.

I am belongs to the money over the community of well diggers. They live on the outskirts of Bangalore City and have traditionally provided people with access to water in recent years this entire region has seen a dramatic drop in water levels. And the demand for welding has seen a corresponding decline. He says around 15 years ago there was a lot of work for us but these days theres very little of no one wants wells now they bore with machines that go deep into the ground and the demand for our services has fallen with. Open roads like this one once served as bangles main source of water. As the city developed and began to bring water into pipes from the river cavity but the supply is insufficient. To make up for the shortfall people began extracting water from aquifers underground with mechanized pumps. Moreover the booming city is increasingly covered in concrete. Rainwater can no longer seep in and replenish the ground. The stress is immense. Bangalore is predicted to become unlivable by 2025. And signs of this crisis are everywhere. What experts. Believe that the money over the community and the city can come together to help one another. He started a project to build a 1000000 vici that use the communitys skills but this time to dig wells that put water back into the ground rather than extract it.

This will eventually fill up which mean water also officer down off which will plug into the ground. The entire Community Benefits as the ground water is eventually shared by the city. He says recharge wells of the link between green and the ground water grown water we love our work and no matter how tough it is all we want to do is build the bill and i only feel satisfied when the job is done on some of the. Ones where. I was walking in bangalore the owner of the complex gave me a bit of water when i was about to waste what i didnt need when he stopped me and asked me whether i knew the value of water act and if theyre going for one thats how we need to be and learn how to save water to get them especially rainwater that is the most precious one in a district where the new.
