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.

Real_Heros_recognization

 Rain or shine, these heroes voluntarily work for the betterment of people and environment. I had the privilege working with them directly and notice they have been tirelessly working over the years as volunteers without expecting any returns. They are the real heroes. "தனி à®’à®°ு மனிதனுக்கு உணவில்லை எனில் இந்த ஜகத்தினை à®…à®´ித்திடுவோà®®்" - மகாகவி பாரதியாà®°். RamaKariyam Sukumar: We work with him in eradicating Hunger around Pollachi.  Best groceries procured in bulk which is cost effectively done by our friend.  Rain or shine, everyday his family cooks food (freshly cooked daily early in the morning),  packs them (young volunteers help sometime) Food supply Van and deliver to the underprivileged people around Pollachi.  Mr. Sukumar does this like a saint and never stopped even for a day for the past several years. I hope we can take this to next level with an objective of eradicating hunger and poverty from the face of Mother Earth. RamaKariyam Sukumar and his friends...

Greening the Environment

As deforestation is occurring in the name of development especially road expansions all over World,  it is very important to plant more and more trees to green the environment. Trees are very important for the environment.  They not only provide important oxygen but also are very important for rainfall for the areas they are in, apart from so many other benefits. Every one knows it is one of the important tool to fight the human induced climate change as it acts as great carbon sink. In India, Great Dr. Kalam envisioned the importance of trees, persuaded many to plant as many trees as one can. Recently, I had privilege to communicate with many volunteers, who want to plant as many trees as they can to reap the benefits, especially by the future generations. These great volunteers provide their valuable time and hard work. We have to salute each and every one for them for their hard work. As an Environmental Scientist, I am proud of such volunteers, and I will contribute my kn...

Produce during Pandemic

Our friends, as we are spread all over the World we could only communicate through social media during this pandemic. Recently, we are trying Urban Agriculture as everyone realizes it is important to grow your own produce whatever you can in the place that is available to you. Greens, vegetables and fruits can be even grown in pots which can be very useful. It is also Organic, as we will never use artificial chemicals to grow our own produce. Anywhere in the World, in your home, you can put some soil in a pot or even in a sack and grow your own produce (at least some spinach and herbs). With some rice it can make a good tasty combination food too. So, on that lines, I want to share some ( Produce during Pandemic )  photos that I received from all over the Globe from few of my friends through social media. From India: Tamil Nadu: (Produce from EA farms , Friend's farm and Urban Agriculture):   Kerala: From :USA: West Virginia; In ...
