AAPAN PAN NISARG AAHOT
- A MICRO PERMACULTURE FOOD FOREST INITIATIVE
The project aims to establish Micro Food Forest sites (2000 sq. ft. each) along with indigenous farmers in Wada and Aarey Forest, Maharashtra. The project has been created in partnership with Regenerosity and our on-ground partners Sukhbhumi India trust.
The Food Forest designs are inspired by the principles of Ernst Gostch's "Syntropic Agroforestry" and Clea Chandmal's "Forest Floor Way" of farming.
