One of the best things we can do for the earth and ourselves is to grow a forest. But forests take hundreds of years to establish. What if you could build a forest within 3 years, and what if that forest could also give you lot of food? What if you could build this so that it becomes a self sufficient system relying only on sun, rain and air - without needing any external inputs once established ? What if you could do this in land sizes from 2000 square feet to 100 acres ? All of the above is possible - and Shihab Kp will teach you step by step, on how you can do it. Shihab has built over 300 acres of such food forests. And his live coaching program on Farmizen Academy on How to build food forests - FAST is starting tomorrow - Tuesday 3rd December, evening 8 pm. Timing: Tuesday and Thursday 8 pm to 930 pm for two consecutive weeks. Over 4 live zoom classes he will guide you in making the right plant choices across seven layers of the food forest for your location, planning the layout with correct spacing for each species, preparing the soil for fast forest establishment, plant propagation, and more. If you miss any live sessions, recordings will also be available for you. Sign up now at https://lnkd.in/gdcdf2rM We encourage all members of your family to attend together - there are no extra charges, the registration is for all members of a household.

In this insightful episode of The Farmizen Show, we sit down with Ramanjaneyulu GV, a leading advocate for sustainable farming practices, to uncover the hidden truths about chemical fertilizers and their impact on our food systems. We delve into the real challenges faced by farmers, the declining nutrient density of food, and the critical role of transitioning to regenerative farming. Key discussion points include: The environmental damage caused by chemical fertilizers and why it’s not being talked about. The myth of yield in farming and why profit, not yield, should be the focus. How farmer education and extension services can accelerate the shift to organic and sustainable agriculture. Why food fortification may not solve the problem of nutritional deficiencies. The interconnectedness of climate change, agricultural infrastructure, and farmer income. Exploring carbon credits as a solution for sustainable farming. How corporate skills can play a role in transforming agriculture. This conversation offers a critical look at modern agriculture, revealing what fertilizer companies don’t want farmers to know, and providing valuable insights for anyone concerned with the future of food security and sustainable farming. https://lnkd.in/dvQeaeFg
