What a brilliant contest with such encouraging results. If only other countries, such as the US, would get behind regenerative improvements like this.
-
As a maharashtrian this make me really proud of my fellow maharashtrians. This feels unbelievable how we can tackle such problems just coming together.
-
Andrew, you need to move to India and upload a video every week!! 🙂 I can't get enough of these videos. Thank you for showing the world what can be done on a small scale but that has a huge impact on the environment and the life of countless people.
-
People of India found wisdom in ancestors who understood the land they lived, without technology.
-
This is Co-operativism at its most pure. I have such admiration for these people, for the Panni Foundation and Dr Pol in particular. He deserves internation recognition for he work. Climate change isn't just about carbon dioxide being released. These villages are putting tons and tons of carbon back into their soils.

The true beauty is the sense of community and cooperation from the people, this could never happen even in small town America
-
I have been looking forward to this series all year! Whenever I meet someone from India, I always mention the work the Paani foundation is doing. The project seems to be evolving quickly and will serve as a great template for other countries wanting to better manage their water/food resources.

Poverty to prosperity with water…bless these people. How exciting and such a relief for them, their futures are truly hopeful…
-
This is phenomenal... We need to do this HERE in the US. I know it's a totally different culture. However, there are small farming communities that have disappeared here, First Nations reservations that are food deserts, etc. We need to decentralize food production and rehydrate our landscapes here...desperately. California, Oregon, Washington, the west, the whole country can learn from the Indian people's work!

The mural of their watershed is EVERYTHING!!! I'm so impressed.🤯
-
Andrew, Thank you for this follow-up! Long-term results count... I am full of gratitude for all of you villagers, thank you from my heart! As I teach this to my students at a university in Germany (many students from India!), this is what brings tears into their eyes, too. Many have found their life purpose in restoration. Big NGOs, companies, universities and politicians seem to prefer problem-profiting; solving them is bad for funding, power and some inflated egos.

When I first saw your videos 5 years ago, I took the decision to go to university to learn everything about soil and water engineering with focus on agricultural landscaping!! So truely, this is shaping and giving hope again

My scientist dad Dr. Deshmukh got award from pani foundation

This has so much potential worldwide. Others like @dustupstexas could use this to further their projects as well. Water reclamation and aquifer rejuvenation can completely change a landscape.
-
I remember the first video you did about this village. In this swamp of negative media we call YouTube, it's a breath of fresh air to see such amazing progress. Thank you for sharing. :face-red-heart-shape:

M from Haryana India. Apart from this revolutionary project in which they are doing marvelous job, i also like the Hospitality and heart warming welcome by the villagers make my eyes tears. Love this beautiful video. Come on let's this world beautiful ❤❤

This is brilliant. I love the water reclamation the decision to add more trees for the honeybees And the farmer's cup is brilliant as well. Forget university scientists invest in permaculture farming. Look up the gentleman named Krishna who lives on solitude farm in auroville Tamil Nadu. I think the biggest improvement for their village right now is tree planting. It provides shade it will decrease the temperature of the vilidge and get wildlife a place to build nests and find food. I lived in India for a year Part of the time working as a farmer on a permaculture farm, so I greatly appreciate what this village is doing.
-
The most ironic thing from the previous series were the ancient watershed structures which were abandoned and the knowledge of their workings lost. Great to see them and the knowledge being revived. Amazing that it has been lost and found throughout the centuries. Excellent videos, keep them coming. Thanks!

I have been trying my best to set up a traditional (permaculture) organic farm here in Rajasthan. I wish the Paani Foundation help my area and the farmers as well. We have an acute shortage of groundwater due to various man-made and geographical reasons. I don't know how to approach and convince them. I am a software engineer by profession and my knowledge is limited to our backyard and kitchen garden where i created a micro-forest. Sending you big hugs Andrew and the entire Paani Foundation teams. you guys make this planet more beautiful and sustainable.
