On bringing back indigenous plant species

What does it take to create and maintain an organic medicinal farm, in the face of rampant development?

A government intent on “building on our rich cultural heritage” and “participatory”, would provide the adivasis rightful space for self-governance

Bamboo beds with layers of dried water hyacinth, silt, vermicompost and farm yard manure, dry leaves of leguminous plants, etc. float on the water bodies.

All that growing food organically needs is time and dedication. A lot of people are building their own kitchen gardens in Goa.

My strongest childhood memory is tinted green ... big spreads of bamboo and banana groves, in the sprawling greens of rice fields ... big thatch roofs dominated by green pumpkin creepers ...
