“Every dish has a hero protagonist, which is a plant,” said Vedika, owner of MharoKhet — an experiential farm which has been growing and supplying fresh produce all around Jodhpur for two years now.
When the couple took a trip to Kyoto, Japan, it put a lot into perspective, as they realised that the vegetables grown in Kyoto were famous all across Japan simply for their freshness. They learnt that the vegetables were even used by Michelin-star restaurants.
“If the Kyoto model was such a raging success simply because it was a farm-to-table model, could we replicate the same on our ancestral land, where we had been cultivating tomatoes and other vegetables for daily consumption for the last 12 years?” wondered Rajnush.
For a long time, #farmers in the #Goblej village in #Gujarat dedicated their time and effort to cultivating #paddy. It was their sole source of income, so they harvested it twice a year.
However, this wasn’t yielding benefits for the farmers since paddy cultivation needs a lot of water and the rainfall has been deficient over the last few years. Moreover, growing the crop during summers,
additional use of fertilisers to maintain the fields, and excessive requirement of water resulting in soil degradation, added to the woes.

Catching up on @SHO_TheCircus and @jmpalmieri interview with farmer & Senator @jontester really shows we have 2 put in ALOT OF WORK & HELP the #farming industry convert to affordable #greenenergy options for tractors so they can bring in their crops. #SustainableAgriculture
Had a typo @mmckinnon! Lol!
I was raised around a large farming community in NorCal and I have to wonder if @CSUChicoRegenAg is working on solutions to move tractors off of #diesel to #biodiesel on their @ChicoState Farm? They had some great #sustainablefarming going on there back in the day! #alumni

.@1NewsNZ recently aired a segment on our use of biochar and vermicast to reduce waste and enhance our soils. It's a great little piece with James Dicey, our Viticulturalist. #sustainable #viticulture #pinotcentral #mtdifficulty #nzwine mtdifficulty.nz/blogs/news/one…
Quote below from James Dicey
"Recently we have taken the next step by using the compost as a feed source for tiger worms to turn the already valuable compost into vermicast (or worm castings). #wormfarming #centralotago #nzwine
