Organic WINS Over Chemical Ag | Paani Fdn India #3 

I'm glad to spread some happiness around here, thanks for stopping by!

@@amillison Stopping by? I'm definitely with you, man!

@johnbanach3875 John I second your sentiment, and comment. Appreciate YT algo. for it's suggestions of late. Maybe percolated w mealworm-AI. :-) Thx you Andrew, in high regard.

🤣 🔥🇨🇳

I find andrews videos so calming: he is able to portrait a possible future in which humans live in a way more symbiotic relation with nature: somehow the positivity of that message is very soothing: is it the same for you?

Plant native trees only, not Gulmohar

Plant trees, whichever ❤ plant what calls to be planted ❤

Beautiful and inspirational thought , I will begin anew my next birthday , that is worthwhile ,

Blessed

It is actually done in Europe, American(ancient america and modern one). Bigger scale are done in China. India late to the game but they catch up fast.

and Actually It was done in India before colonial rule change the system. Modern pump made many water infra disrepair.

​@falsch4761 maybe you should research who took it to America & how it was introduced in Europe? 😉

​@@falsch4761you mean by natives?

You guys are all missing the point of the comment. They’re saying it would be good if other countries had their own version of the PAANI foundation and held mass projects and contests on sustainable agriculture.

Definitely. ;)

Yes!

Sure helped all those Sri Lankan farmers lose weight!

There are villages in India where the incidence of stomach cancer is grossly, very grossly out of proportion with other populations and it has been directly tied to ag chemical use. This is just one example of what I was getting at. It's a problem all over the world. These chemicals are devastating air, water, soil, and life itself. They are also completely unnecessary to produce abundant food. They are incapable of producing nutritious food.@@earlysda

@@cletushatfield8817So cletus plays the hypocrite. OK.

@@earlysda Sri Lanka had a lot of other problems besides banning fertilizer without securing a replacement supply of organic fertilizers. We can see in this video that the Paani Foundation is doing proper conversion of chemical to organic. The Paani process won't work everywhere, for every crop, but for many of the most chemical, water & fert intensive crops such as soy, cotton, and corn, they can be replaced with hemp, which uses less of all 3. Ag in the US uses far to many monocrops & chemical quick fixes and our poor health shows it.

@@NphenNphen makes lies regarding hemp and health in the US. Next.

🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

While in another part of the world they are chasing after machinery and the internet technology. Hope Indians wont be trapped or lured to follow the Western mindset. Nurture these farmers _ the old fashioned, clean way of farming.

💯

These techniques are based on permaculture, which is NOT an Indian concept. It's already being widely adopted all over the world. India is pretty late in the game actually

@@privisuals9888 we are late because of moghuls & Europeans 1200 years of invasion of just not looting& killing but tarnished our schools, education system, libraries, guruskul system and our manuscripts that carried great inventions in palm leaves. Bhaktiat , a Turkish invader razed world's first Nalanda university burnt 3 million manuscripts to ashes. Just imagine our Yoga that is atleast 6000 years of greatest human science & Ayurveda medicinal system that even carried out surgeries 3000 years back. But invasions broken the continuity. It's not India's loss alone but loss to humanity of what advancement could have happened 2509 years ago has been delayed and happening now only due to invaders. Unlike west holding patents and looting govts, Bharat could have given free to this world.

Just wanted to ask what your earlier thought about India was ?

India is much larger than you think,Movies and western media only show poverty.

​@@kirtigupta9753slumdog millionaire version

​​@@kirtigupta9753slums, poverty, crimes as usually international media portrait.

The West has a very false notion of what India is based on self-justifying British Colonial propaganda which depicted India as a land of Eternal Poverty and Famine to cover up the Crimes Against Humanity of the British who looted (the word loot is Hindi) perhaps $45 Trillion from India (look up Jason Hickel India) and killed tens of millions of Indians in dozens of manmade famines (stealing India's foodgrains for British Profit and Food Security inc. the use of Death Camps for famine victims in 1877 under Disraeli) - see also Hickel and Sullivan's Dec 22 article on AJEnglish on how 100 million died in 40 years in the imperial zenith. George Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier (1936) that a 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort. India had been the richest country in the world for most of its history - Angus Maddison estimated that India was the world's largest economy for over 3/4 of the last 2,000 years before British plunder. You may also be interested in this response I gave to another commenter below about Ancient Indian Wisdom: We are not 5,000 years ahead but as I have shown in my scholarly works on synthesizing Science and Spirituality read by professors at places such as Oxford, Harvard and Princeton, as well as directors of Consciousness-Research institutes in the USA and in India, many ancient Indian ideas in Philosophy, Cosmology, Logic etc. were too advanced for the Western Mind of the 17th, 18th, 19th, and even 20th Century to appreciate and are only being appreciated today - such as the Indian notions of the the vast size and scale of the universe, with cyclic universes bubbling forth in a multiverse out of the Infinite Plenum/Void of Pure Formless Consciousness. The Greeks and Christians etc. held to a Geocentric universe which extended only to Neptune and existed for a few thousand years! It was Indian mathematical notions of Zero and Infinity derived from experience of the Plenum/Void that later influenced Cusanus and Bruno to suggest an infinite universe in the middle ages. As the 18th Century Germans and scholars such as Joseph Campbell, Thomas McEvilley etc. have acknowledged, contra Eurocentric myths of colonial Classics, true conceptual Philosophy originated in India with the Upanisads (Vedanta) centuries before Philosophy appeared in Miletia via the Ionian contacts with Indians in the Persian Empire. My work, identifying the physical correlate of the Inner Light of Pure Consciousness (Godhead) etc. with the brainwaves of the Reticular Activating System confirms what the likes of Erwin Schrodinger (who created Quantum Wave Mechanics influenced by his lifelong advocacy of Vedanta with its Akasa - Space as Subtle Matter characterized by vibration) argued that Quantum Wave Mechanics [particles are merely abstractions from wave activity] reflects the Oneness and Interconnectedness of Advaita (Nondual) Vedanta. Heisenberg said that he too was influenced by Indian Vedanta in his role in inventing QM and stated that it came as a great comfort to him (talking to Tagore etc.) to find that an entire Great Civilization - India - already held to a view resembling that of QM which had shocked the Western Mind. 5th Century c.e. Indian Buddhist logician Dignaga anticipated and solved logical problems related to Truth Functions which were left unresolved by the likes of Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein in 20th Century Europe. Robert Oppenheimer wrote that Indian Buddhist logic was too sophisticated for 18th Century Europeans. Hindu Nyaya formal logic was not surpassed in Europe until Boolean algebra in the 19th Century. Again contra the Eurocentric, White Supremacist myths of Western History, most of what the Renaissance West called Modern Mathematics i.e. Modern Arithmetic [Cambridge mathematical physicist John Barrow calls the Indian Decimal Place Value Number System with Zero - the greatest intellectual invention ever made by humans); Modern Algebra (copied from Ancient Indian Bijaganita by Persian al-Khwarizmi into Arabic (as with Arithmetic) as Colebrooke showed as long ago as 1817), Trigonometry inc. Sine Function; Negative Numbers, Imaginary Numbers - and even Infinitesimal Calculus (the basis of Modern Physics) are of Indian origin - see Christian Yates' 5 Ways Ancient India Changed the World with Maths. Calculus actually originated with Bhaskara II and Madhava - 500 years and 200 years before Newton. Even if Newton did not know of the earlier Indian Calculus, as Charles Seife showed in his book Zero - the Science of Descartes (Cartesian Coordinates) and Newton's calculus would have been impossible without Indian Maths with the Zero and Infinity. Aryabhatta's work Aryabhatiya 499 c.e. - taught the West Trigonometry when translated into Latin centuries before Copernicus and contained Heliocentric models - which were used by other Indian astronomers long before Copernicus' so-called Revolution! As Colebrooke showed, the Greeks only inherited Babylonian algebra and made little advance. The first Greek to use algebra and symbolic equations was Diphantus in the 4th Century c.e. and his work was vastly inferior to Indian Algebra. Indians also invented algebraic analysis for Astronomy etc. For Greeks, Maths was mainly just Geometry. Renaissance Italians paid to watch mathematicians do tricks such as calculate 7 times 14 in their heads at town fairs using Indian Arithmetic as such calculations seemed magical given the primitive status of Greek and Roman numerals for doing calculations! Many of the best-connected researchers linked to the US government and intelligence agencies, who have been involved in the study of consciousness-related phenomena and UAP, such as electrical engineering Professor Willis Harman (ex-Head of Stanford Research Institute during Project Stargate - Psychic Spying as confirmed by Jimmy Carter), Dr Edgar Mitchell (physicist and 6th man on the moon - who had a cosmic consciousness experience on re-entry of Apollo 14) and Dr Jacques Vallee (astronomer, IT pioneer and J.Allen Hynek’s colleague on Project Bluebook) argue that UAP need to be understood within the broader context of a new science based on the Primacy of Consciousness. Harman, who called for a Synthesis of Science and Mysticism also wrote that the new Post-Materialist Science of the Future will be based on Indian Metaphysics with its Primacy of Consciousness and Transcendentalism. After receiving a copy of my 1999 work, Japanese physicist Shiuji Inomata wrote a letter to thank me. He mentioned that ten million Japanese TV viewers heard him repeating Harman’s conclusions in his inaugural speech to the 1998 Tokyo conference of Eastern Philosophy and Science.

Sharing it with your community is a way to help others become aware and inspired! 💚💚💚

The work you and your fellow volunteers are doing is inspiring people worldwide! Bravo!

I would definitely like to plant a tree in this village on my birthday. I can’t visit. If some village organisation can help me I would welcome it. Regards

How to contact you

You guys are heroes!

You look after mother earth, Mother earth looks after you! 😊

And we love it❤

The Pani Foundation has earned much respect with this. Western world folks could learn a lot from this.

​@@ronniemcmaster8657 we are proud of Andrew as he is showing this great work to the world. But unfortunately our media is only interested in politics.

@@mayureshkocharekar931 Same here. The media would rather tell us that our cars and the types of light bulbs we use are to blame for droughts than tell us legitimate ways to heal the land. My thought process tells me global warming, if it is a real thing, is caused by us pumping the water out of the land faster than it is being replenished, which will obviously make things warmer.

Green revolution was a necessity for "that" time, food production was not very high, india had to import low quality food from foreign, plus farming practices were previously affected due to Britishers during colonial period. Strategically also, India was going through a lot of tensions with China and Pakistan, and West being a close aid to Pakistan, could have used their sanctions to starve the Indian population, so Green revolution was necessary, and chemical fertilizers and Pesticides was not the only output of green revolution, tractors, combiners, water pumps, techniques of farming, etc innovations also helped. Though obviously, now we need to change the techniques and need to ahift back to organic farming, coz nation is now more stable.

This is the difference between we indian and Chinese… here(in india) govt is weak but community is strong, in China community is weak but govt is strong.

Absolutely!

you advocate all these big local government policies and your username is that big government is the problem. without an expansive local government these people could not collimate their energies to producing beneficial waterworks.

Sure, become like Sri Lanka!

It's my village🙏

@@earlysda I'm going to ignore the fact that water is a chemical and say that the situation in Sri Lanka was more to do with people in government haphazardly passing laws about professions they knew nothing about rather than seeking alternatives to mass produced pesticides and fertilizers. These villages in India have proven you can achieve what was intended in Sri Lanka if you take practical steps at the ground level and work with the locals rather than making an arbitrary ban on nitrogen.

@@greasybumpkin1661greasy is "going to ignore the fact that water is a chemical". . Are you training to become a comedian?

@@earlysda india used to do farming without chemicals since ages. we only had organic fertilizer - cow dung. this is enough to farm. even during the british imperialism time we still had organic fertilizer only..... its only after world war 2 the west factories that made bombs had to stay idle - they in greed for money used the same chemicals as fertilizer and forced it on the countries including india - thats how chemical fertilizers came into existence. and u being a evangelist nut head cant understand or believe truth.... u blindly follow a single book. if u really seek truth then come here i will show many farms that never use any chemical fertilizer and yet produce more yield than the chemical farming farms next to them. if u r a seeker of truth come and visit farms srilanka was done without any training to farmers - they too lost the knowledge of natural farming over decades and sudden change without knowledge led to problems

I'm appreciate that so much. I will be releasing many more updates throughout the next while. Stay tuned! :)

Hanuman is the main deity of this village:-)

@@amillison Great to know that. Makes a lot more sense now - why you chose to include that drawing there. :)

@andrewmillison if you are ever on Hawaii Island, I'd be glad to show you some revitalizing permaculture installations that integrate native, Hawaiian, food/medicine, and useful plants with biofertilizers/biochar to rapidly revitalize the soil up to three feet deep while naturally eliminating weeds from the equation. I think you can appreciate the work we are doing here including collaborating with Hawaiian owned forest farms.

You're welcome!

Wow, thanks 🙏 I appreciate the affirmation

Yes Vinayak. Thank you.❤🙏🏻

​@@Adv_Swapnil_Kolhethank you swapnil please share if we can be of some help

Welcome!!

human rights or western standard human rights?

Trust me there’s no human rights violation happening in India. Whatever they show you in news is because India is going through a huge geopolitical shift right now and Chinese funded media peddles out propaganda against India and human rights thing. The government of India actually provides the poor people free food and shelter too. Our poverty is going away at a steady rate now and the destruction of the colonial rule is being left behind slowly and India is just reclaiming its original position from thousands of years ago when it was the most prosperous land in the world.
