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 ·     ...

WATER FOR EA FARMS

Water for the farm. As water is one of the key elements of farming, and our land has no water resource we were all praying for the help and guidance from heaven. The prayers were always there in the back of my mind even though I was involved in other activities. 14-06-2010 Finding water points at the land. I spoke to Ravi aka captain on finding the water points at the land. This is an amazing exercise. Few humans are blessed with this power of locating the water points. Their body reacts to the ground water. Different people have different techniques, some use wooden sticks, some use metal rods, while some use water in a plastic pot.

India Visit

I recently visited India. Positives I noted: Highways between cities - were good. Road travel is getting better ( Still improvements are needed such as Direction Boards, Solar lights, more trees on the side of the roads etc. More work needs to be done inside the cities regarding traffic and roads. It is ultimate chaos inside the cities). Businesses are blooming. Business buildings are excellent with International standards. Negatives: Unfortunately, I had to attend a funeral. The burial ground was horrible. It was not at all walk able. Cleanliness was never there. The last ritual should be done in a clean place. Here it was opposite. There are so many rich educated people living in each and every town (especially this town), I am not sure why they left the burial grounds like this. Also, I saw so many young people standing in long lines in liquor shop. I was so much worried how many resources are going waste. Already so many people's health are deteriorating be...
