Indeed it is a deeply touching message that the poor can become rich, instead of reality of one surviving at the expense of another it creates reality of abundance. Society is not a zero-sum game and everyone can win!
There are so many people doing good Agriculture and Water work in many parts of India like : Paani foundation & Dr Avinash Pol in Maharashtra Shyam sunderji in Piplantari, Rajasthan Arayna permaculture in Telgana & Andhra Pradesh Ardhendu Chatterjee of DRCSC in West Bengal Sonam Wangchuk in Ladakh Thank you to all these saviours!!
When God created man he put him in a garden. Then a bunch of crazy stuff happened we don't need to talk about. But long story short, I think God meant for us to be gardeners.
Brilliant on so many levels.. Thank you for sharing this success story. You are removing the fear of investing time and effort into "wasted" land. I think of the many places here in the USA which would benefit from this educated optimism. Starting here, right where I am. Thank you for the inspiration. !!
Same thing happening in Ethiopia, and Senegal where they are planting a section of the ‘Great Green Wall of Africa’, a new ‘Coast to Coast Forest’. That has transformed the areas from drought and famine to food abundance and water table regeneration. . China are also planting a ‘Great Green Wall of China’ that is also Coast to Coast.
I was there and I wish to go back again just to thank all of the wonderful souls there who introduced me to permaculture. Narasanna is my mentor in permaculture and he's the best according to me. Cheers to Aranya Alternatives 🙏
Andrew, you are such a master storyteller. I love every video you do. It would be a large project but I could totally see you doing a movie on the subject of India and water. I feel so much hope and go so excited every time I watch your videos. How many more videos do you think you have material to do?
Sheri, Thanks and I really appreciate your feedback. I am planning 7 or 8 videos total in this series. So if you watch them all back to back, then it will be movie length :-)
Woho! Feels like I have been waiting for this episode forever! I discovered it by the magic of the youtube algorithm when the #3 episode was posted. Love these episodes on India's water revolution, Andrew! The narrating, interviews, the camera work, the maps, animations - it's all really well done, interesting (eye-opening!) and educational. My new favourite channel. Keep it up! Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden
@@amillison Woho! Looking forward to #5 and also, I hope more people keeps coming in through the algorithm and discovers this gem of a channel, because you truely deserve million of views.

Thank you so much Andrew for sharing wonderful true stories for better world ! I have watched all 6 videos along with my 10 year old son, he too got excited and says Dad let's watch next one :) Really hats off to all the great people who are doing tremendous job on the ground by working with government, ngos and communities to educate, encourage and creating a sustainable ecology to everyone Thanks so much to Narasanna & Padma ji from Aranya, Pani foundation - Dr. Avinash Ji, Amir Khan Ji & team, DRCSC - Ardhendu ji, Gayathri ji and all great people !
Thanks Jyotish for the great comment and i am very glad that you and your son have enjoyed all of the episodes so far. I am about 80% done the next and final episode, and hope to have it out within a few weeks. Happy New Year!
this kind of video fills me with hope that there arnt just global companies out there ruining the globe. there are humans out there wanting to make a difference and share their nowledge to better the people and the habitats around them!
I hope by this projects and engineers doing good deeds to people in India will give them out of famine due to water scarcity because of drought but now its wonderful to see villagers they have plenty of crops planting around their village, thank you for this wonderful people with a good heart finding ways, helping the government for a solution to save the lives of its countrymen, I hope in other countries they will and can adopt this kind of projects and foundations to promote great living in the villagers and to nation building not promoting war but greatest life to live in
Nice was waiting for this :D There is also a certain bit of poetry in that the people deemed "untouchable" are creating a permaculture paradise away from caste and consumer society down the road.
Westerners only think of india as caste caste...When the reality is it has become almost redundant except for political power. thanks to silly documentaries.
Lot of it Bogus. The video producers just to make it dramatic describe someone as untouchable. In one video the gypsies of Rajasthan were put in this category. They are not untouchable, never were. I wonder if this is anti Hindu agenda driven.
u will definitely land in jail if u call someone untouchable in India. On the other hand, There is def some drama and poetry in BLM and Antifa movement, i suggest u watch that to satiate ur linguistic palates.
Billy Mollison, Masanobu Fukuoka and likes of Narsanna and Padma have really challeged the conventional agricultural perspective! Permaculture is a really good solution. Like the way everything was covered Andrew...really nice work...!❤️ When I was looking for land till yesterday and in my mind opting for fertile and irrigated soil, but now I will surely go for even bedrocks and make turn them into a forest....hope that happens soon..... very inspiring video!
very great illustration and explanation ! This is very inspiring and motivating for farmers of the deccan plateau . In Maharashtra people dont want their children to work in farm and they complaint of the type of soil and water scarcity.
This is a great system and just shows what you can do to change waste land or wasted land into productive land. Well done India and I am enjoying this series.
I love the content you share. Thank you for the good work you're doing. We live in India and we don't even know about these initiatives that exist in our country!
These principles should be effected in all drought stricken areas. I just love these videos as they show that there is hope. When people can make a living from their land they don't need to go to work abroad or in sweat shop jobs in cities. It allows them to live in their villages and enjoy a much higher quality of life. It could reverse the descent into lawlessness that is taking place in many parts of Africa because of 'drought' which is causing more and more people to become refugees.
Amazing what is possible with proper knowledge and incredible determination. What has been done here is miraculous, and no doubt reproducible in many areas around the globe. This should be used as a blueprint to bring people and villages out of poverty, and to enhance their food security at the same time! What an extraordinary way to heal people and the planet!
Spent a few days here. I learned a lot. Hope to learn in more depth. And the food was soo good even when it was so simple. It was exotic for me being an Indian.
Hopeless made Hopeful!!!Wonderful concept. Most of the people including me are not aware of this project, as mentioned there are acres of land which are said useless and abandoned. But for reasons who is going to bell the cat!!,approaching the government for such a noble cause is next to impossible , corruption!!. Down south in Tamilnadu water is sucked to the core till the water table is dry. No effort is taken to conserve rain water though there's abundance of rainfall. Only now there's awareness with in the public to harvest rain water and desilting of the water bodies. Mr Narsanna and Mrs Padma are doing a Great job to poor down trodden and to the Mother Earth!! God bless 🙏🙏🙏
There is a whole long story about how Narsanna approached, lobbied, cajoled, and squatted on government land before they released the wastelands for the landless to farm. It was no small feat, but he was successful so it can be done.
Only watched a few episodes so far but this is definitely going into my homeschool unit studies on water tables, flow and ecosystems! Thank you so much and cant wait for your new series!❤
wow I still have the DVD of Bill Mollison when he trained India and also Zimbabwe. Thank you for this series. I have so much to learn. From South Africa
What an inspiring video this is, especially as it pertains to the still-in-existence caste system and its lowest caste: the untouchables. Highy uplifting production by Andrew Millson. Mennonites and Brethren [US] accepted the offer of free land in Paraguay that the government declared to be hopelessly barren. Their success paralleled Aranya Farm.
Fantastic episode! A permaculture system on bedrock, now I've seen everything! Well done Padma, Arsana and Andrew for getting this knowledge out there :)
And I hope India got rid off Monsanto I just subscribe to your channel this types of video information I crave because I learned Any channel that pushes permaculture is a permanent agriculture university to me Thanks for pushing foward what benefits all kinds of life not just humans
Wherever there is water, through perma culture, you can convert dry lands into agri lands. Good to hear. State and central govt should support this method in India also. Thanks for the video.
God bless both of you for what you have done not just for the earth but also for the most neglected section of the community as well. Real wholesome revolution and not just water revolution. 🙏
In find myself cheering for these people. They are productive, they have new purpose and success is coming to them by their own hard work. This is wonderful!
I am so grateful to have met him, he is a real inspiration regarding his approach to permaculture and will to make the life of his community better. 🙏🏻
Seeing the success of the bedrock farm, gives me no excuses here on my Kentucky clay. The abundance that can be farmed here, with minimal input is rediculous. Looking at my 8 acres permaculture designed property, I am so grateful for the abundance we have made.
The wasteland are not wastelands. They are wasted lands. 👏
Thank you for creating such a great content and sharing important knowledge to all of us!
2:54 The linking of the poor/rich soil dichotomy with the rich/poor social dichotomy blew my mind.
The man's a genius
Also, it gives hope that a poor-soil land is not permanent and it can be made rich with proper care. Very inspiring.
Indeed it is a deeply touching message that the poor can become rich, instead of reality of one surviving at the expense of another it creates reality of abundance. Society is not a zero-sum game and everyone can win!
Watching this makes me emotional. He's a true hero. We need more people to step up like this.
Padma and Arsana are the real heroes of this world. Much respect.
Meh, they are "heroes" :

Planting forests and preserving wild life are the most beautiful things we can do as humans on this planet.

Imagine the Vegas desert turning to a food forest paradise
I'm 21 and that's the kind of farm i want to create. Permaculture will save us if we are enough to put such farms in place.
I learned Permaculture at Aranya from Narsanna & Padma Koppula ji. Aranaya is a great place to be.
Ballu T where is it located
Same thing happening in Ethiopia, and Senegal where they are planting a section of the ‘Great Green Wall of Africa’, a new ‘Coast to Coast Forest’.

It's mind-blowing how successful the people in India have been with permaculture! Seeing stuff like this absolutely proves the concept to me!

I binged watched all the episodes 😍
Ha! Subscribe and you'll get the next ones :-)
Narsanna and Padma Koppula are true holy people. I hope their spirit and knowledge spreads far and wide.
20 years in the making. That's what you call dedication and the fruits of permaculture is there
The biogas system in that video Blew my mind!!
I love this series.
Brilliant applicable solutions and beautiful people. God bless ❤
Love your content Andrew. not only are you an expert in your field, but equally mirrored in your film making style and presentation.

Narsanna, thank you so much for all the things you did and you keep doing!!!
I know nothing about farming, but this seems nothing short of miraculous. I think maybe sometimes we underestimate the power of human ingenuity.
We definitely disregard the power of intelligent design that is already programmed into the system. Diverting away from it was human folly!
This is true socialism. Respect and salutations from Pakistan. This aspect of India should be shown more than bollywood
This is one way to start a saturday morning. Thank you bro
Thank God for this people with their passions. 🙌
What wonderful, productive sustainability for people.It brings solutions to evaluative the harshness in such environments. Brilliant.
I have been to the farm and this is awesome!

Wherever there is water, through perma culture, you can convert dry lands into agri lands. Good to hear. State and central govt should support this method in India also. Thanks for the video.
Mr koppula is a real hero to the villagers helping them to land and teaching their how to farm! We need more men like him around the world 👍🏼
Hard work is the key to success in life. Permaculture is the latest technology of Agriculture.

This is wonderful! One of the most uplifting videos I have seen in years.
❤Thank you Andrew, it is so uplifting and inspiring. I hope will spread all over the world and I will help to do so as well :)
This is truly inspirational. The human species can be the death to the land, but it can CHOOSE to be the life to the land. It is a choice.
I L-O-V-E this!!!! Keep up the fantastic work!
Fabulous! Fabulous! Fabulous! If humans created the climate crisis, we can fix it with just this kind of re-thinking agriculture. Bravo!
Wasteland is not wasteland it is wasted land.....super
Another Golden video. SO beautiful!
I learning from this permaculture thing. I love ur videos
Wow! So much respect! Love from Canada!!!
Watching yoir videos gives me hope ...
Love to all involved
Excellent Andrew!! So glad you are doing this. Great job!!!
Thanks Penny! We're all in this together :-)
I am so grateful to have met him, he is a real inspiration regarding his approach to permaculture and will to make the life of his community better. 🙏🏻
Absolutely love this method how narsana sir is giving hope... i too hope to grow trees like this
Sir, my deepest Respect to you!!
Amazing documentary.
This natural technology need to be taught to all agricultural sector. It takes nature itself to heal the land abused by human.
Seeing the success of the bedrock farm, gives me no excuses here on my Kentucky clay. The abundance that can be farmed here, with minimal input is rediculous. Looking at my 8 acres permaculture designed property, I am so grateful for the abundance we have made.
Need this across India ❤️🙏
