When communities lead, sustainable farming takes root. #APCNF is steadily expanding #NaturalFarming practices in Mulliyamkurussi village, Malappuram district. Kitchen-garden crops like beans, okra, leafy vegetables, spinach, and lettuce have been planted under the ATM model, with tomato, chilli, and brinjal seedlings being raised next. At the Anaswara Kudumbashree meeting, the team shared that “kitchen gardens, #RabiDrySowing seeds and simple input preparations can empower every household to grow safe, nutritious food,” motivating members to start their own gardens. A small spark in one village is now lighting the path for Natural Farming across Kerala.

As part of the T-ICRP (Trainee Internal Community Resource Person) training program, Palnadu District Collector Dr. Kritika Shukla IAS visited #NaturalFarming fields in Rajupalem, emphasizing the pivotal role of ICRPs in scaling up natural farming. She stated, “Each trained ICRP should bring at least 20 farmers under natural farming across 50 acres, and every farmer should begin with at least one acre.” The district has set a target of 82,000 acres under #NaturalFarming this year to enhance farmers’ income and promote healthy, sustainable food systems.

Thank you! Most important of all, all of this has been built by people who had never seen anything like these ever built, and in fact, most of our people had never worked anywhere else.
Our first challenge is to make ourselves believe "we can do this".
Due to our tortured history, a lot of Indians, even highly educated Indians, have had the defeatist attitude "it cannot be done, definitely not in India". And the most defeatist of them become naysayers and it becomes self-fulfilling.
Escaping that mental trap is the most important part of it. Now that Zoho exists and is succeeding (slowly) in the world on its own terms, we can let go of that defeatism.
This is why I admire the Chinese people. After "100 years of national humiliation" as they see their history, they have now risen. Bharat must rise and will rise. Tech is the most critical part of it.
Many of us Indians do not know that Zoho has been competing with Google for over 20 years now. @Zoho launched many solutions even before Google did. I have lots of respect for what Google has built but we all need to know how Zoho Silently built some superb stuff.
Kudos @svembu & team. Zoho is Underrated heavily.
This post needs to reach everyone. Especially those who dont appreciate Indian Solutions.
I used @grok to generate an image with this timeline and I must say, simply impressive. Some logos need to be sharper and correct, but still sharing this.

Honoured as @rajbudithi65 spoke at @FAO’s #SOFA2025 launch, sharing how #APCNF’s 1M+ farmers proved that restoring land, livelihoods & biodiversity needs no subsidies, only conviction and community.

#CycloneMontha hit Kakinada — chemical paddy 80% lodged, ₹35,000 loss. Natural Farmer P. Sivaji’s field with #PMDS stood resilient: 24 tillers, 10% lodging.

Soil fungi are the hidden heroes beneath our feet! A pioneering public database developed by Dartmouth College researchers reveals the secrets of mycorrhizal spores—how they travel, thrive, and boost plant health worldwide. This new tool helps us predict and protect the future of our ecosystems. Science for a greener tomorrow!

And that’s the reason I left Silicon Valley several years ago to work with small scale farmers in India. Now in 13,000 villages connecting about 4 million farmers.
Back in the days I helped build windows OS & XBOX at Redmond ..
Now focussed on building an operating system for small scale farmers ecosystem

This is the future of agriculture. Let's make it happen!
Despite the #MonthaCyclone, #NaturalFarming paddy in Kurnool stood resilient with strong tillering, good grain filling & stable yield . Thanks to NF practices.
In contrast, chemical paddy faced lodging, poor drainage & yield loss.

It may look like the pieces are falling into place…
But only if we choose to act — together. 🌍
Soil isn’t just dirt — it’s the foundation of life.
Let’s bring life back to the ground and secure our future! 💚

A huge shout out to @ruchitgarg of @HarvestingFN. He read my ground report on Gandhamardhan Hills, which are a storehouse of medicinal plants & other forest produce, and has reached out to the local organisation that trades in such produce to them provide a national platform 🙌

I am delighted to share that *Harvesting Foundation* (section 8 non-profit) @HFoundationIn is partnering with Krishna Sudha Academy for Agroecology, Andhra Pradesh, to launch a 5-day residential training program for FPO CEOs & Board of Directors.
Krishna Sudha Academy for Agroecology is designated as one of the few Centres of Natural Farming (CoNF) by the Government of India National Mission on Natural Farming(NMNF).
This academy is founded by two octogenarian physicians (Dr Sudha & Dr Nageswara), who moved back to India in *1978* after their stint at *Harvard University*, USA.
Small-scale farmers in India can truly improve their livelihood by forming successful functional farmer co-operatives, and this residential training program will help farmers learn & transform their farming into successful agri-businesses
