Permaculture is the art of permanent agriculture, AND “Art of Living” is a way of Life!

Anything in excess is not good, not even farming. It has been observed that prolonged farming does more bad to the soil than good.

Here’s how.

Of the five factors needed for farming – air, water, soil, sunlight and nutrients in the soil – a farmer is heavily dependent on soil nutrients and availability of water for a good produce.

However, over a period of time, excess tilling of the soil, overuse of chemicals and irrigation without adequate drainage causes irreparable damage to the soil.

Now, if the lost nutrients are not replenished, then the soil becomes unusable, producing poor yields. Thus the world started looking at sustainable farming as a solution that can prevent the loss of soil nutrients and conserve water too.

In a layman’s term, sustainable agriculture is an ecosystem approach to farming.

This National Farmer’s Day, on 23rd December, 2021, the Permaculture Division of Art of Living Bangalore, organized a special session on Sustainable Agriculture, - Ponds, Plants and Planet – a talk on Ecological Integral Farming through the Cownomics™ Methodology from Vaidic Srijan LLP.

This podcast is the audio for the same session.
