I never thought I would write a blog article with a title Save Farmers. Every human at least for now depend on Food for survival. The way it is going, one day we would be living just on Pills. Until then we should respect and support farmers who work in the dirt to produce our food. Every health article talks about fruits, vegetables and grains. These food items do not come magically. It is the hard work that is being put in by the farmers with the help of the nature. Yes they need natures's help such as rainfall. When the rain Gods ditch them they undergo severe hardships that they could not withstand. Some of them in Tamil Nadu commit suicide, which gives us heavy heartache.  Now they are protesting in Delhi . As always I support them. I kindly request the government to work on this immediately and provide support as soon as possible. Those who are protesting and fasting are not Rich, They are the farmers who give us Food on the table by working hard. Because of their work w...

Circular Economy in Farming  - EAFARMS: In a world facing resource scarcity and environmental challenges, farmers are uniquely positioned to lead the shift toward a more sustainable system. Enter the circular economy, a model that focuses on minimizing waste, reusing resources, and regenerating natural systems. For agriculture, this means healthier soil, less dependency on synthetic inputs, and more resilient farm businesses. In this article, we explore what the circular economy is and how farmers - big or small - can benefit from it. Unlike the traditional  "take-make-dispose"  model, the circular economy is all about  reusing, recycling, and regenerating . It focuses on keeping materials and resources in use for as long as possible. In agriculture, this could mean: Composting waste instead of throwing it away Using farm byproducts as animal feed Harvesting rainwater instead of depending solely on groundwater Repairing tools and machinery instead of replacing them ...

Agri18 – Regenerative Farming Series by EcoMak Agriculture is entering a new era - one where soil, water, biodiversity, and community stand at the center of every decision a farmer makes. Agri18, created by EnviroApps and brought to life through the EcoMak mascot, is a complete visual journey into the principles of regenerative farming. Each short video captures one powerful idea: how farms can heal, rebuild, and thrive by working with nature instead of against it. From slowing rainwater to protecting pollinators, from living roots to native seeds, Agri18 shows how simple, science‑based actions create long‑term resilience. These 18 chapters are designed for farmers, students, environmentalists, and anyone who believes agriculture can be both productive and planet‑friendly. Every video is short, clear, and practical - making it easy for farmers to learn and adopt regenerative practices. Together, these ideas form a blueprint for climate‑smart agriculture and soil restoration across t...

Recently I have been hearing about high amount of food adulteration. Farmers are injecting Oxytocin directly in plants to increase the size of vegetables and in cows to increase milk production. This indirectly enters the human system and cause untreatable effects such as hemorrhage, heart, blood pressure problems and brain damages. This increased greed can affect health of future generation. Already alcohol intake is high among young people. Along with that, uncontrolled pollution (air and water) symbiotically affect the health. What is supposed to save people from these things - healthy food - is now tainted with these chemicals - Only God can save the future generation from these greedy creatures. These greedy creatures went ahead and labeled new expiry dates for already expired medicines. I was so upset when I heard that they are adulterating goat droppings (which is used as fertilizers by farmers). How low these creatures went. I hope more people should stand against th...

Cost Effective Solution to save Coconut trees during forth coming water scarcity months due to El Niño : Olla Irrigation - Ancient Wisdom for Modern Droughts. 🏺 Echoes of Ancient Clay pot Irrigation Long before the term olla entered agricultural vocabulary, ancient Tamil farmers practiced remarkably similar methods. In Sangam‑era Tamilakam, clay vessels called “ māṇ paṇai ” or “kulam paṇai” were used to store and seep water near tree roots - especially for coconut, banana, and areca palms.   These pots were often placed in earthen basins (thottam) lined with coir, husk, and leaf mulch, creating a natural moisture‑retention system. Inscriptions and temple garden records from regions like Pollachi, Thanjavur, and Madurai mention such paṇai neer vaḻi (pot‑water channels) as part of sustainable irrigation networks.  This continuity of wisdom - from ancient Tamil pot irrigation to modern olla systems -  shows how indigenous knowledge can guide regenerative farming in the...

On December, 2011 in my 100th blog post I wrote: I was born in Tamil Nadu and had good education there until M.Phil (Bharathiar University - Environmental Sciences specializing in Environmental Physiology). Moved to USA to pursue Ph.D in Environmental Sciences. God gave me  privilege  to complete MS in Computer Science also. During this period I have traveled so many places and had vast experiences.  Acquired environmental knowledge from excellent people who were very knowledgeable in these fields and want to do something for Environment.  Even after several decades of independence and great rulers with future vision, Tamil Nadu state still have not lived up to its potential. We have best institutions - IIT, Anna University, REC, several other universities and best schools in India. But what has improved in these years of independence. We still have poverty, lots of pollution and environmental problems. For example - we have so many polluted areas where...
