The video is great. You guys should make shorts of this video. It will get more views and spread the message faster.(As the attention span on social media is very short)
Even if u make shorts of this we will definitely get more people to C it but it will aggregate the ADD attention deficit disorder to a grave level so it’s good if we the adults could consume this data and do some practical homework building per state wise so that we have some role models to show across INDIA
I come from Eastern India. Stubble burning is not practiced in this part. It is unique to Punjab, Haryana and parts of UP. The problem lies with cropping patterns and gap between two crops.
And that's all because of the old laws that still exist, they prohibit planting the next crop in the latter months so the farmers need to hastily prepare the field again for the next crop. if the laws were removed i bet it would help out a lot.
Some are solving on their own ways while most aren't ! It's about going simple making simple but, majorities don't like simple coz of their habitual & uncontrolled actions ! 🙏
There are plenty other video's and news articles show casing both his homes in New Delhi as well in Goa I have been to his home in Goa where he simply plucked fruit an veg from his awesome home permaculture and we enjoyed a fantastic deliciously nutritious lunch. Life can be this way if one wants, this is what Peter is showing. No more need for not so super 'super'markets 😊😂❤
Send Such messages of farming/environment via schools as the children are the best messengers who will bring the awareness into their homes. Also ask Govt to give more grants for Modern Farming- it is this modern farming which will draw youths into farming.
No, don't push this problem on the next generation, we have to take it up. Every person seeing this is an adult he/she must take steps however small to improve the world for the next generation.
People need to realize how serious the matter actually is... I think a lot of people are still ignorant of the matter As you said, this isn't the reality we should live in, there is so much we can do
Amazing video, and a great interview. I truly enjoyed the earth ship concept and it is do-able. We used to be self sustaining, we seemed to have forgotten about it. We need to remember our past.
Thank you for your response. I’ll get in touch some time. I understand how important it is to grow and eat healthy food. It makes a ton of a difference to my health. But in my case , not having more than an hour or two of sunlight leaves me with no scope for growing anything (beyond using grow lights)What I was trying to say is it’s not possible for everyone to grow their own food, despite having the space.
Wow... this is so educational! I am proud to say my company is working on these very concepts in Europe, and I am happy to see Indians discuss such solutions!
Rather than vilifying farmers for crop burning they should be given carbon credits for producing crops As they are the only profession that takes carbon dioxide from the environment and gives back oxygen to the environment In fact all the industrial oxygen that is produced is produced from the liquification of air, so the industrial oxygen and nitrogen producers should pay a royalty to the farmers
Bro grains peoduce neglegiboe oxygen , plant needs years of buildup before that they consume more oxygem Also rice aheat farmers are reason of drought they use too much water india historically produces millets not rice wheat millets use neglegible water
Fantastic, thank you. Where can I find a video about setting up a balcony farm? or building a greenhouse bubble around a home in a very hot climate. Also, a video about the sealed composting bin that produces compost in just a month. This is amazing information, please share this knowledge in more detail.
Biogas and biomass-related energy production has been floating around for over 2 decades, I was personally involved in a project in Chennai trying to scale up the activity of a biomass digester unit based in Koyambedu wholesale vegetable and fruits market. Long story short, biomass-based energy byproducts were unable to compete with LNG, lignite, conventional propane or kerosene-based energy sources. This is simply because government had heavily subsidized these commodities for large segments of the financially underprivileged population. Unless biomass-sourced energy is subsidized both from the manufacturing end as well as made cheaper than fossil fuels, it cannot scale in India.
What this couple has done is commendable. This may not be feasible for the majority. All municipal corporations in India must increase their fleet of CNG, Electric and Hydrogen buses while phasing out fossil fuel commercial vehicles and automobiles and replacing them with hybrid and cng vehicles. India also needs to invest in Sodium Ion batteries in a big way. The worst offenders tin Delhi amd NCR are the stubble burning farmers in neighboring Punjab and Hariyana. The govt. must address this on a war footing!
Thanks for your thoughts. Please consider watching the entire episode. Mr Sukhmeet more light on the stubble burning issue and offers a more detailed perspective. Also share this episode far and wide to grow this conversation.
Thanks Naveen. Thats very encouraging for us to make deep dives and educational content for our audience. Please share this episode on social media and whatsapp groups
Hey, better India team, thanks for such an ellaborative podcast. Just a small request can you please upload hindi caption available because I been staying out of hometown can easily resonate with the solutions but I feel it would be better if podcast can have hindi subtitle partially so that It could reach to larger audience.
From my personal experience, you can do every possible thing to have a fantastic organic garden, but without adequate sunlight , nothing works. In goa, the rain and the lack of sunlight have thwarted every effort of mine to grow stuff. Ginger and turmeric are the few things that grow. Having sunlight ( at least 3-5 hrs) is very necessary.
This video seems to have been made in early June and at that time the AQI remains relatively better in comparison to the rest of the year. so how is the AQI 400? In which area the video was shot?
We all are sharing common planet /earth and it's resources and environment are also common to everyone so anything happening in one place affects everyone irrespective of Who is responsible for disbalance /pollution /global warming.. Nuclear might not produce carbon dioxide but certainly cause of global warming. Manufacturing and industrialization can't be cool /cold..
Thanks for your comment. Totally. We need to involve more and more people in this conversation. Please spread this message by sharing this episode in your social media and whatsapp groups.
Good vid. I ve always wondered why our city roads are not lined up with fruit bearing trees. All of us consume fruits and it should be simple to just start planting fruit trees on our road sides. Mangoes, leechis, jaamuns, anything? Why not?🙏
Thanks Kalpana. We need more people like you to talk about climate change and sustainaibility. Please help us grow this mission by sharing this episode in your community
Hi, thank you so much. You can directly contact the couple to learn how to set up this at your home. Please find their contact details in the description box. Do share this episode with your loved ones as well.
Modiji suggested that we all plant a tree for our mother we can add one for our father and other loved ones too! It will help if 1 billion trees are planted.
The wealthy have a disproportionate impact on carbon emissions. As wealth increases, so does one's carbon footprint, with the richest individuals contributing the most to CO2 pollution.
Using the word waste is wrong, also the reason for the problem of crop burning . We need to educate the farmers that this is not waste and they should compost it and use it as fertilizers this will help them reduce the input cost which will in turn result in high profit. This will also provide us vegetables with less chemicals
All of that which they are saying is good but problem arises when people have to work outside the house. The travel and facing the heat due to it is the problem.
I am sorry but none of what I have heard so far adds up. Hydroponics sounds great but theres a reason that its not popping up en masse all over the world, hydroponic systems are not cheap to run or maintain, I wish they were, but they are just not! The running costs are not just fish food, you also have electricity and water, you have to keep pumps running around the clock to keep the water moving through the system and you have to top up water as water will be lost through evaporation. Gardening is a privilege which by all means if you can afford you should do, the medical (physical and psychological benefits) are huge. Also pollution in cities is because of everything, industrial (e.g. nearby coal plants producing energy to run air conditioning), diesel and petrol cars, and agricultural crop burning and all 3 issues have to be addressed together. Burning biofuels to run cars or power stations is not going to solve the problem. If low income families have money to invest then buy balcony solar, it will save you hundreds in the long run and reduce the smog from coal/oil or biofuel power stations. Those with more disposable income buy solar and whatever form of electric transport you can afford. Just stop burning stuff and if you have money and time left over to buy a plant or two then please do so, it will brighten up your home and greening cities improves the quality of life for everyone in it. And lastly I would love to know why Indian farmers esp. small farmers burn biomass anyway? Why are they not using it to make compost, it makes the most excellent fertiliser, improves the soils ability to retain water during droughts and increases fungi in the soil ( in turn improving fertility). I am probably missing something here, there must be an economic reason for doing this…?
There is a big nexus between big Ag and mid to large-scale farmers to purchase chemical fertilizers and pesticides along with high-yield crop seeds, it gets murkier with cash crops like Bt-cotton. It's a combination of peer pressure on part by big Ag (essentially Bayer and Monsanto tying up with Indian companies like Mahyco), extreme fragmentation of India's agricultural landscape (which indeed to some extent does not make large-scale composting economically viable because it is labor-intensive) and a continuing lack of awareness among the farming communities to adopt more tech-savvy and sustainable farming practices.

The first sardaarji and his wife were cute, made complete logical sense .... the second sardarji though (even at 1.5x speed) could not add any value in first 5 minutes of his airtime. ... Viewer dropped.
Bio-fuel= made out of organic materials and - waste…explanation is too long… And India needs to introduce environmental education and the effects of pollution from kindergarten to universities, waste management . I Live in a rural area in Haryana and the farmers are using plastic as fuel or they burn them .
*If you have strength not just bare talking then ask government to tax rich 1 per cent Indians for climate change as they are responsible for Maximum Carbon emissions not general public so all this business of growing food in home not wearing more clothes shows neither you have knowledge about climate change nor you are having strength enough to question the people who are actually responsible for this which are top rich 1 percent Indians they carbon emissions needs to be ended and meat industry needs to end they are responsible for Climate change directly not general public, it has become another business for people rather than solving the challenge!*
