Here’s Great Tip: The Permaculture Way of Life | Manisha Lath Gupta | TEDxShivNadarUniversity
Here is Something You Should See…
When Manisha and her husband acquired a piece of land in the hope to grow clean food and harvest freshwater, they did not know that their lives would change forever, in more ways than one. They established Aanandaa Permaculture Farm as an example of working with nature to create a self-sustaining & regenerative ecosystem. They challenged the local wisdom of chemical farming and convinced their team to adopt a chemical-free path to build a food forest. Watch how Manisha explains the details of converting a barren piece of land into a thriving ecosystem, and why she believes that permaculture is the pathway to self-sustenance and harmony. Manisha Lath Gupta is a Permaculturist, Entrepreneur and a former Marketer and Banker. She is currently the founder of Aanandaa Permaculture Farms – where she employs the sustainable practices of permaculture to reconnect with and give back to nature.
She is also the Co-Founder of Mojarto.com an online portal for artists, galleries, and collectors of Indian contemporary art to buy, sell and exhibit their work. In her earlier roles, Manisha has held crucial leadership roles at Uber, Clix Capital and Axis Bank This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

The food forest by humans is different from the real forest made by Mother Nature
Very well done. Aanandaa is a beautiful example of Permaculture feeding the world through nutrient cycling and diverse yields. Thank you for sharing this with us.
It's great to know and making us aware that we owe so much from mother earth and it's very gentle way of giving back. Very well explained.
Very informative n i pray we all can learn from this video. Hats off to u n yr family. God bless
Beautiful. Im are inspired to do the same your family did.
Great and inspiring speech by Manisha. This is the need of hour to every body to start farming or adopt farming for quality and healthy food. Her farm is replication of best practices of Natural and Permaculture system.
Great passion job…
I watched this video not once but repeated multiple times select portions of it.
Am not able to hold myself in relating our life.. we live in, with your permaculture movement.
Certain statements made by you especially with respect to weeds relates to negative thoughts in our blind mind viz. material desire, anger, greed etc.
Like Soil (mitti) comprises of many living organisms/ bacterias, our Body (also mitti) is made of microscopic life organic forms.
To ensure soil (body) is always fertile (positive vibes & spirit) and weeds do not grow (negativity avoided), it took ~12 years for a beautiful permaculture farm to come up.
Complete physiological/ mental changes and firm establishment of new good habits also takes 12 years in a body as mentioned in various spiritual books.
Isn't life similar like farm, wherein if we allow anything and everything to grow would become like jungle unless we control, give positive feed and grow consciously to convert into a beautiful farm/ life.
Your systematic planning, constant efforts with positive mindset have always be an inspiration for many of us.
Very very interesting and motivating!!! You have truely made a substantial change towards making our planet more beautiful.
What a fantastic job, sister!
Salute Mam
Most farmers do not have 6 acres of land in India. Most of them have only under 1 acre. If you need permaculture to be profitable, you need at least 5 acers of land. Also, the politicians only work for corporates and gau rakshaks while beuraucrats are fully corrupt. No help for farmers.
That’s all well and fine but the planet has 7 billion people and soon to be 8. There are realities to feeding everyone. What are your yields? How many people can you support on an acre?
Really excellent. It is a real inspiration to all and for those who are planning to do something like that and someone to change present chemical agriculture to this nature friendly Permaculture.
thank you mom, for your time and effort spend for this great idea bring into existence and share this to all.
Ma’am can we visit ur farm
Permaculture is future of farming
Very inspiring. Its a decade long journey from a barren land to such oxigenating green field. Came to know the concept of Permaculture first time. Would like to know more.
Wonderful!!! I wish to visit aananda farms soon. How did you fund all this?
Best Permaculture journey I have ever seen.
Respect to you and your thoughts mam. Its my dream ,will surely do it one or the another day.
