First Assamese tutorial film on compassionate natural farming. It is all about conserving baris(homestead gardens) & habits(small village forests) as Food Forest. This film can be a guide for farmers and practitioners of natural farming. Refer to friends.

[Farmer Samir Bordoloi @farmer_samir]

No life without soil and no soil without life.If we hurt our soil for food, we hurt us.We co create a healthy soil with compassionate farming.Madam from Dimapur, Nagaland practicing no-till planting. She & her son joined the 3 days Family compassionate farming internship program.

[Farmer Samir Bordoloi @farmer_samir]

Keeping Eye on our Nature-gifted heirloom seeds is key to our Freedom as Farmers.

If we loose them with their ability to regenerate in our farms, we become dependent farmers.

We have to save them from the human lust to owe them as a business in the race of quantifying food.

[Farmer Samir Bordoloi @farmer_samir]

Joyfulness surrounds us when our farming is natural & local. Morning walk made me realise how happy we are with the local rice variety growing strong with the new bamboo based food forest as carbon sink and O2 zone. New Lakhimi cow member happy and open grazing whole day.

[Farmer Samir Bordoloi @farmer_samir]

Love accompanying young people back to the roots in our green villages.They are responsible tourists and understands nature. When rural to urban migration is at peak,agro tourism in our villages and the food forest trail turns them to stewards promoting joyful rural life.

[Farmer Samir Bordoloi @farmer_samir]

I have been training Green Commandos on my way of compassionate natural farming since 2015. Now the movement has grown and with 1500 plus youths trained as GCs. Today landing up at prestigious IIT,Kharagpur to create more Green Commandos makes me feel proud as a farmer.

[Farmer Samir Bordoloi @farmer_samir]

Took time to unlearn the monocropping from my books of agriculture.Being farmer for last 15 years has learnt the value of diversity. Now with my food forest making people learn about canopy,tree,subtree,shrubs,herbs with grasses layers and their role balancing food production.

[Farmer Samir Bordoloi @farmer_samir]

Baris(home garden with multistoried trees of native fruit trees with bamboos) and the rice fields with pukhuri makes our beautiful Assamese Village.The baris & bamboo grooves being carbon sink and balances rice monocrop. Planting oil palm trees in baris will be the big mistake.

[Farmer Samir Bordoloi @farmer_samir]

Our baris(homestead gardens) and habis(backyard small forest/community forest) can be food forest of native food by growing with the habi & growing them in a dense pattern in baris. It gives healthy food to be our balancing act of monocropping of staple food as carbon sinks.

[Farmer Samir Bordoloi @farmer_samir]

A multilayered cropping pattern of herbs,shrubs,sub trees,trees,canopy layer in a high density planting system mix of native edible and non edible plants based on interdependence of all creatures.This is what I emphasized in the climate change and farming lecture at Haflong today

[Farmer Samir Bordoloi @farmer_samir]

Soil & environment is best for us following Nature's way of giving us food. Growing population needs more food so we change our land use pattern to start monocropping. But balancing is the need today. Our rice field surrounded by bamboo based food forest balances. My Carbon Sink.
