This Factory Grows Food Forests 

2:18 "Waste is a resource at a wrong place". Wise words.

One thing I love is that Andrew isn't trying to take over the video. Some youtube or TV presenters will often outspeak people showing a project/hobby they've spent decades on, but instead of taking the spotlight, Andrew lets Anand show the audience what awesome stuff there is. I feel Andrew's here to set the stage for cool people to show cool things that he's genuinely interested in. I respect that, much more than others who just try t make a big show of themselves. He has a real respect for what these guys have done!

I can only applaud this Businessman. Every factory plant should be have this layout. I will see that I get my spices from Suhana from now on!

A rich man who practices what he preaches. I wish I could financially support a business like this. And the fact that he is doing it India, no offense my Indian brothers, where waste disposal is not so simple as some other countries...bravo!

The perfect video to wake up to here in Norway. I'm loving the showcasing of these projects and businesses.

Videos like this needs to be shared massively. There is so much space around industrial facilities and so many people wanting to plant food forests that can't buy land. Maybe we can bring them together.

Anand's approach is so remarkable. Natural ventilation using the flora, electric machinery and recyclable plastic; to these things which are often overlooked and perceived as unavoidable, Anand has brought great solutions to the table. Really makes you think about what more can other companies be doing in the name of sustainability?

This is so brilliant. Imagine if all food factories around the world directly recycled their waste. So inspiring.

he is one of very few true visionary businesspersons, those who actually care about the sustainability along with profits. Amazingly covered story by Andrew and team. Looking forward to more such stories.

Thank you for your videos! A couple years ago I left college feeling uninspired and burnt out trying to get a bachelors in architectural design. That’s when I found your videos and it made me realize what kind of work excites me. I am now back in college going for a bachelors in plant biology. I want to find ways to get nature back in the US and work with plants in general. Your channel has been my main source of inspiration. Thank you so much

I love how much Indians have delved into permaculture, can't wait to visit one day.

Thank you Andrew for bringing this company to our attention. Thank you Mr Chordia and Suhana Spice for showing what is possible.

Many people talk only, TRUE LEGEND DEMONSTRATE...Proud of Suhana Culture..

Now I know which company I'll buy my spices from!

India is definitely the leader in permaculture farming Water Reclamation aquifer recharging and in general sustainability. Most of what I know is from living on a farm in India. I cannot think of another country that is as Progressive and considers itself a caretaker of the land and not an owner. I love India and I miss it dearly

Great to see someone using their brains and heart at the same time. Positive story thanks for sharing

Wonderful ! These people should be on the mainstream news. They are the ones who should be educating the public instead of unscrupulous politicians with hidden agendas.

Impressive work turning waste into a thriving food forest! 🌿 Using treated wastewater and harvested rainwater for irrigation is a fantastic example of sustainable innovation in action.

All the Indian permaculture sites you have shown are soo inspiring. I hope we will have these kind of visionary people all over the world. In the mean time, here is a blueprint. Thanks for highlighting this for us. ❤

I have been watching your videos for years now. Every one of them is inspiring. Hard work and small changes - lead to amazing results not just for the people but for the planet. So many millions of lives have been improved. Soil, native plants and animals, Air quality, water retention - The list goes on and on.

What a charming man and his enthusiasm is infectious! Anandji aapko hamara salaam.

I looooove this! What a visionary, I'm inspired to double my efforts now! I've been planting a food forest for a year (I don't have over 100 employees, just me, a friend, and sometimes my wife). It is so satisfying, everyone who owns their own land owes it to themselves to try it with a portion of the property. Hard work, but the beautiful fruits of God's creation waiting to be savored and shared with the people you love make it all worth it.

@2:31 We can catch Andrew doing our Indian sideways head nod and at the end too!! Andrew you are spending enough time in India to involuntarily pick up these gestures...🥰 you are most welcome ❤ I am from Pune and I know this spice brand SUHANA but I did not know the backstory of their plant! Thank you so much for making a case study on this wonderful business. I will now try to buy their product consciously. 🙏🙏

We need to rethink our food system. As more people pack into cities projects like this can bring green agri closer to consumers awa restore wildlands. Cities need to become less parasitic on their hinterlands. Permaculture in cities is critical.

I've been following you for over 2 years and your expansion is amazing! Bravo Andrew for your amazing contribution to our planet and thank you!

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing I've been trying to achieve here in Canada! Next week I start classes geared towards urban farming, and I'm taking these classes in order to meet some people in this city that have connections to people of power and already have land purchasing power, and I'm planning to try and pitch my ideas to them. I essentially want to do something similar, a large plot of land as a food forest, with a housing co op in it that will house the land stewards, a wood workshop for processing harvested trees and to produce in house stuff or produce mass timber structures like the food processing area. I'd also love to do eco tourism in there as well, with a music studio/community center in it as well for unwinding after work, having small local artists come perform, etc. Another corner of the lot (likely beside the woodshop) would also be a plastics recycling depot (likely tied into One Army's Precious Plastic's open source platform) that will take in and recycle plastics into various things needed for the land or in the various buildings on the lot. And I want to design this to be a blueprint so other people can take some of my designs and just replicate them elsewhere. I've been talking about this for a while now and as a disabled person it was really hard to imagine how I'd pull it off, but with this course I'm starting and meeting some of the people I already have who LOVE my ideas, I think I might finally be starting to work towards this goal. The way we use land in North America is terrible. I want to be part of the solution as to how to fix that.

Wow thank you for bringing this to all of us! I have tears of hope stinging my eyes…. Thank you!

Thank you for showing the people of the earth how it can be done! Hope many factory owners will become inspired after seeing this great video!

Much respect to this guy. Proving that most companies really have no excuse as well

I truly can't tell you how much hope and optimism your videos bring me. At a time when it's so easy to lose hope about the state of our world, your videos are like a badly needed tonic that shows that a healthy, sustainable future IS possible, we just need to challenge many of the deeply rooted habits and beliefs that did so much damage in the first place.

We proud as Indian ❤️❤️

When he saw the waste as a resource. Not only he proved that he is smart, he is also wise.

This is uplifting, inspiring and I am honestly shocked. I didn't know that any industrial companies cared at all about the environment. I am grateful for his amazing example and hope that other companies will follow suit.

Very very cool! Bless this man and his workers! India has so many great permie teachers and anciet wisdom!

Thanks for bring us hope with your videos. Also, Thanks to Anand for all what he had promoted in his company and for been humble and generous to share it with us.

An inspirational example of what is possible with Permaculture! Great video and a fantastic case study for business done right.

It's so rare to see an Indian Princeling using his family's power and wealth to help the planet. I just wish we in the west would wake up to how successful regenerative and restorative farming and production practices can be!

Thank you Andrew. You always give me hope. All the best to you and your family.

I’ll have to make an effort to support this company. The true commitment to the environment is fantastic

I think one thing you always notice in these permaculture videos is when the drone takes a wide shot, and the farm/homestead/factory in this case is surrounded by brownish yellow arid land. There's no hype here, you know this stuff works because the A/B comparison is often right next door and it's significant.

India is saving itself and will save the world. I live in the US where factories care more about growing GMO non-nutritious food for money than the environment. Thank you India!

The world needs more people like Anand & Andrew!

What a wonderful man and a fantastic family business. I travelled to India once and it is so beautiful and yet people throw rubbish around. It's wonderful to see this man's passion to improve that and inspire others to follow. As the economies of Western nations continue to decline, I hope more Indian people will learn to appreciate their own nation and start more businesses like this.

Deeply inspired by all your work Andrew. I dream of a second innings in agriculture. Pune is my former hometown and I live in the US now. I am proud of this Punekar doing a great job. Thanks for everything you do.

That is very impressive! Well ahead of many "developed" companies around the world.

This inspiring video .. my goodness, so inspiring!! Did anyone notice the sense of community in that workplace??! Bravo to Andrew Millison for getting this video to the world and to Anand Chord for his vision and execution of this massive project! I am going to guess that everyone that works in this factory can put a healthy meal on their tables on a daily basis. I seek out videos to balance the constant chatter of gloom and doom. This video should be on every news station's broadcast as headline news.

We should support such work so others take same action

Andrew is revolutionary man who try make sustainable living!

Its good business to create a less wasteful business and improve the surrounding environment. Happy people work better and stay healthier.

Amazing! This should be done with all organic waste products!

I'd love to watch a video with tips and tricks on making a permaculture project affordable. Watching these videos are inspiring and I know many large companies can afford such projects, but smaller ones (and individuals) may feel a project of this significance must be out of reach.

With all the overwhelming problems in the world, it's great to see the positive developments also. Thanks for your great work in getting this stuff out there for all of us.

i would say , hes got a clear vision of a "FUTURE" bless Andrew Millison!!!

You both are so inspiring! I was actually working on a restoration plan for the Nairobi River (not that I have the resources to make it happen lol) when I saw the thumbnail. Hearing Anond describe the sustainable methods his factory implements also described nearly every aspect of my design! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't moved, not even a millimeter, because I'm still teary eyed 🙏🏿

Wow! Anand is a boss on so many levels. Absolute hero.

Every project you feature is so exciting and transformative. Thank you for showing that changing wasteful processes can not only be ecologically protective, but result in a wealth of rewards and rejuvenation.

One of my favorite youtube channels. Never disappointing

yes my boy andrew back at it again! Second favorite andrew on youtube behind channel 5 news. Love more of using intelligent design when making farms and creating permaculture environments!

Brilliant way to reimagine our industrial processes and waste. Well done team India 🇮🇳 🙌

Amazing person who is doing business in most sustainable way. Hats off to him!!! Thank you for this wonderful video. I am very proud to be his fellow countrymen😊

More like this company please. Its so logical

I love your videos I also love the idea of turning baren land to a green forest area...

You are giving us hope in these hard times.... Thank you for all your hard work!

Huge props to this man. This is beautiful.

Excellent Anand Chordia & SUHANA for this great Ecosensitive work 👍 👏 👌 🙏

Who else liked the video before even watching? Absolutely incredible!!!

Love it. Looks like his job is the warehouse and his passion is the food forest.

Me eating their spices and don't even know they were doing this awesome work appreciate it as a fellow indian

WOW, what an amazing achievement. Truly inspiring.

thank you for sharing all these stories of these wonderful innovators in India. I hope to see the US follow their lead

"Waste is a resource at the wrong place" ❤

This is amazing! This should be a requirement and not just example. We need this to become the new normal.

This idea should be a mandate for companies.

i will always be grateful for you helped me in creating a thesis and your input and feedback was awesome. Thank you so much

This is truly one of the most amazing pleaces of this kind.

Andrew looks so impressed with this!!! His eyebrows are up the entire time!

Another fantastic, uplifting story. I'm so happy to have found your channel. You are awsome, Andrew!

Anand Sir is ra re combination of business leadership and Climate leadership. Fortunate to work with him and offer our climate and energy solutions via waste scientific management.

>I imagine there's nothing you can do to make plastic more sustainable, right?

Really, Sir U are a Great Men , Couz you support Greenery.

Great initiative by the Choradia family ... this practice should be mandatory for all industries

What an inspiring video...thank you Andrew and thank you Anand Chordia for being such a great inspiration...Blessings from Australia

It’s time 2 move into India

This is amazing to see done on a larger scale gotta love him and permacultures methods I have been learning from the past few years.

Very cool. It would have been even better to hear them talk about how they work with their agricultural producers to make their farms more sustainable

i appreciate what you do Andrew honestly.. keep up

Would be awesome to see some of the manufacturers/warehouses in the states do this

There are about three times Andrew does a double take in shock. Great stuff.

Amazing results from just thinking through the whole process ! Thanks for sharing another inspiring story, Andrew, you and your colleagues have given us another glimmer of joy and hope for the future of our planet.

Props to Anand and the Eco-Factory Foundations, it's really impressing to see all the way of works and utilizing resources from others countries

Wow I am sooo happy to see this man's factory! I hope all producers follow his excellent example. Thank you so much for all your efforts, many blessings to you 🙏

Proud of the business man, welldone👍

Your wife has learned the Indian nod perfectly.😄😄😄

Beautiful work

Wow. I am just blown away. Nothing short of amazing.

amazing story ! those bananas look so plump

This should be the minimum requirement for all companies.

This balance between economy and ecology is what today's world needs, may GOD bless them.

That was great! Thanks!

Brilliant work for suitable planet 🌏
