Farming techniques and traditional knowledge in Nongtraw, India

In this participatory video, members of an indigenous community from Nongtraw village in North-East India share their local culture, farming techniques and traditional knowledge, with the aim of recover and document traditional processes for millet growing, medicinal tea and beekeeping.
After a participatory video training organised by InsightShare and KSO, local screenings in the community encouraged people to value local food systems and to collectively buy land to grow emergency food. The videos produced by over 50 local community members were also presented to an international audience at the Terra Madre meeting in Sweden in 2011 by the community members themselves.
This community is one of the 40 villages that live in a deep valley of Southern Khasi Hills, about 1000 ft below the road level. These indigenous communities want to revive their farming techniques and traditional knowledge with neighbouring communities by using participatory video and other media means. By doing so, they expect to strengthen the local food systems, take care of their local agrobiodiversity and reduce dependence on expensive shop-bought items such as rice and tea.
This video was shot and devised by members of an indigenous community from the Nongtraw village, located in Meghalaya, North-East India as part of the project for Indigenous Partnership for Food Sovereignty and Agrobiodiversity. This project was facilitated by InsightShare in partnership with the local NGO Khatarshnong Socio-Organisation (KSO).

keep up the good job.... we need much more insight and information about such traditional cultivation, preservation and technique.. but as clearly mention in your video that we are running out of resources like trees, here comes the hardship for the livelihood of the villagers, but Nongtraw village can set good example for the rest, that there is an urgent need for the conservation and prevention of our natural resources. Ai ba na kane ka document jong fi kan ai jyngmyntoi iakiba bun.. KHUBLEI SHIBUN...
