Dry_Farming

Dry Farming: A Regenerative Path Through El Niño A New Era of Climate-Resilient Agriculture El Niño is reshaping climate in certain key areas of agriculture lands all over the World with delayed monsoons, prolonged dry spells, and rising temperatures.   WARNING SIGNS As groundwater levels fall and irrigation becomes unreliable, farmers need a system that works with drought-not against it. Dry farming offers exactly that. Dry farming is a regenerative, low-water method that relies on soil moisture, native seeds, and intelligent land management. It is one of the most powerful tools for India’s climate future. Why Dry F arming Matters During El Niño El Niño disrupts India’s rainfall patterns, causing: ·        Delayed monsoons ·        Long dry periods ·        Higher heat stress ·        Reduced groundwater recharge ·     ...

Hero or Zero

Excellent piece of video for building the future. My Suggestions: We need to build the school infrastructures with at least basic needs even in rural areas. Create more awareness in education, environment and sustainability. I have seen rural young children walking in hot tar road without any footware for miles to get education. People with God given higher living conditions must provide these basic necessities for unpriviliged children. Praying to God to give this good mentality to everyone. Question to the authorities: How will these children get their education with the basic necessities such as food, shelter, clothing and footware, etc? (If these things are provided, then they will have interest in going to school instead of working as child labourer). Hard Working Children makeSH

Chemical used to make non-stick coatings may be harmful to health - research

One more example of a chemical which might show effects after long term usage: Source: Environment News Service (ENS) Published May 14, 2008: A chemical, perfluorooctanoic acid , used to make non-stick coating for pots and pans, food wrappers and stain-resistant fabrics may harm the immune system, liver and thyroid and cause higher cholesterol in children , according to the initial findings of a study of 69,000 people who live near a DuPont manufacturing plant. The health effects observed in the study population in West Virginia and Ohio are believed to have been caused by exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid, PFOA, also known as C8, released from the DuPont plant in Washington, West Virginia. PFOA is one of a class of perfluorinated chemicals used to make Teflon coating and other nonstick products, oil-resistant paper packaging and stain-resistant fabrics. Info of PFOA in EPA website: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/pfoa/pubs/pfoainfo.htm#long PFOA is very persistent in the env...

EA PROJECT

Building Natural Agricultural Ecological Systems EAFARMS NAgES: Natural Agriculture Ecological Systems: • Pro‑Environmental • Sustainable • Organic • Natural • Regenerative • Permaculture • ZBNF • Indigenous EAFARMS will adopt NAgES - Natural Agriculture Ecological Systems -  a pro‑environmental, soil‑first, water‑first, biodiversity‑first model designed to regenerate silently over the years. “Look simple outside… so your land becomes a powerhouse inside.”Let them say anything today. The results will show over in years with biodynamic agricultural ecological system.” 1. NAgES Foundation Principles Pro‑Environmental Ethics - every action aligned with ecological responsibility Sustainable Agriculture - long-term ecological and economic stability Organic Farming - zero synthetic chemicals Natural Farming - biological processes, minimal disturbance Regenerative Agriculture - soil carbon, water retention, biodiversity Permaculture Design - self-sustaining ecological de...

My friend sent me a beautiful train photo link from the following link: http://www.irfca.org/gallery/Uploads/eno_sbc/IMG_2287.JPG.html We were all upset by the garbage in front of the train. All I could do was a virtual cleaning. Compare photo1 and photo2: Photo: 1 & 2
