with the astros give. them a credible look. at our. world cup train. every week w. u. up for sort of the lead to stick knowledge in nearly every aspect of life has been tremendous but what we often forget is that our ancestors try to do with the knowledge they had access to big traditional farming practices for example they

promoted biodiversity and defined climate change the hundreds of years the forgotten power of traditional knowledge that's our topic today welcome to eco india your environment magazine. coming to you from mumbai dry it is the most cultivated green on the planet and 50 percent of india that's roughly 600000000 people consume rice for sustenance but a need to ensure food security in the 1960s led to a decision that. diversity of rice the country has traditionally bolstered off a small group of farmers and carola it's trying to revive this let's find out how. this is a work of art johnson. planted one. paddy sapling at

a time. and other farmers in the van and district of cattle are cultivating paddy is not just a means of living it is a view of life that has existed since before they can remember. when i 1st started cultivating native berry people were very curious about the color of the crop they wondered if it got burnt but if medicines were used okola was added so when people started coming just to take pictures of the colorful berry which very encouraging economic news and of. all your poems field art is a glimpse into the vast and diverse bank of the over 100000 paddies trained need to have to india a country where rice is the staple food for more than half its population.

things began to take a turn in the 1960 s. and policymakers struggle to address a newly independent india's growing hunger problem under the green revolution programme farmers were asked to forgo the indigenous seed varieties and favor high yield hybrids. the policy makers are that if you change the practices of the fatness you can improve the productivity and that and they got the seeds from a rational basis such institute and they are called holding but i guess in the last 50 years almost 7580 percent of the biodiversity from that because if we discover which includes agro by the rest of it's mean certainly for seeds of farmers and also that a lot of biodiversity around the traditional farmers face. when biodiversity is lost the soil becomes weaker the ground concretely an hour. as much

water and it becomes harder for crops to desist best. but a few farmers have fought to hold onto native seats which are deeply rooted in their culture. like change over a year old roman a member of the couldn't she have tribe who has been able to consult 50 to one ideas of indigenous paddy some of which were passed on to him as. a matter of when you know i'm going to order that in the scene of a b. identifier on children i'm able to identify all the seats that i take care of in the beginning had 6 types of seats which are 100 down from my uncle to me in 1909 and they. are only valium or can you turn a little under gosh when i worked on baldoni and i started with all those from 2000 i started hunting for similar seeds. yet

a. lot of what by 30 it's. done one has sold for i'm preserved as many traditional greens as he could find that are on the verge of extinction like to add on my big gun to the main ingredient of the famous model of our very annie. and. it is getting better by the way and this is. part of indian born new nirvana. and this is sort of the shyly. in the olden days this was the rice which was eaten by our kings it was truly fit for kings i don't judge of that either commodity going on out of the. indigenous seeds are more best resistant in addition they are best and after to the local climate and that means they are best suited to withstand climate change. this is especially significant for get it up over

2 toads of its land underbody cultivation has been lost since the 1980 s. a movement called save our values has been working at farmers across 7 indian states to help tons of indigenous strains off rise and improve the quality of the land. the next 10 years this lady but that especially no climate changes also is risky thing so you need to put a lot of her sources for far less in the field. starting from production of the market that will be why india in a in a sustainable manner than. the government going to fill up and that is like we think. part of romans farmland has been resolved to counter with each modality without the use of any chemical fertilisers on pesticides he also believes it's all about sharing and encourages his fellow farmers to exchange and

experiment. that american. movie seats are not meant to be sold and they should be passed on from one farmer to another got her and was allocated to it out of all the knowledge i have is what was passed on to me and what i learned by seeing and going and understanding things that only it is not something i've learnt through reading books or by researching on the internet and then years. for his enduring guns a ration book to do a yale drama and was awarded the blonde genome savior award by the government of india. traditional law about how plants animals human beings and other organisms on earth interact with each other can make a significant contribution to sustainable development today but it often comes down

to adapting all traditions to new conditions. many small farmers across the world would love this to make for typhoons losing last amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere but there are projects aimed at getting farmers to give up the slash and burn methods in belize for example in the trees that are being planted to make the ground for tight and the tops of trees form a canopy overhead and the fallen leaves create overage like regions for. many indigenous people preserve important and useful knowledge about hubs and plants like in the amazon region equador indigenous communities are bringing peace to their green forest gardens a good many restaurants. even all construction methods are getting new attention in india an organization teaching to build earthquake

proof houses using local building materials. traditionally construction techniques to build hof timbered houses have been used all around. half timbered houses are undergoing a revival in popularity they've even started bollywood. this picturesque backdrop looks like something out of a fairy tale but old have tempered houses can be found in many european cities. even bollywood seems to a phone in love with them several movies have featured their stars dancing in front of german have tempered houses. the tradition dates back to the 12th century buildings are constructed from a wooden structure filled with brick or loam that made sense wood sand and clay were all freely available materials.

this have timber houses not even one year old yet it was built using the old methods have timbered inside and outside for owner nor but it was important to have a low energy home equipped with the latest technology but the roof too is based on a historical design it's a so-called cold roof which is well ventilated. that's an old building technique in the sense that in the past they were only called roos and you notice that in the old buildings where attics and not insulated in the summer it remains a quite pleasant temperature at the top of the house but that's all it down to the way it's constructed. at the same time the heating technology in the house is cutting edge a fuel cell supplies the building with electricity a solar thermal system provides warm water on the ground floor and underfloor

heating system is being built that uses brick just store the warmth the windows are made of smart glass that darkens when the sun shines keeping out about 90 percent of the heat in summer the house was built by construction company owner heiko schultz for more than 25 years he's been building have to bring houses based on old designs but with the latest technology inside. it's a real challenge people used to build very differently centuries no one was concerned with energy efficiency is cetera these days we have to work with significantly think a walls and accommodate very different things windows have to be fitted completely differently and it all has to be done so that it's not visible outside. the wooden skeleton is constructed in a carpenter's workshop using only timber grown in europe spruce fur large douglas

fir or oak. just as in olden times no nails are used. instead the beams are connected with joints secured with opec's in keeping with traditional methods. this is a joint that has been used by carpenters for centuries only wood is used. the advantage is that it expands in the same way when temperatures fluctuate that's not the case if you use wood together with metal and that can cause damage in the long term a joint that only involves would avoid this problem. about 12 cubic meters of wood are needed to construct a house with an area of 200 square meters if you place the chambers end to end they would stretch almost one kilometer it might sound like a lot but wood is a lot more sustainable than other conventional building materials like concrete and

cement the harm family is also building i have tempered house based on historical design originally they wanted to build a wooden house but they couldn't because of planning restrictions for them the have tempered house is a successful compromise. we hope the mix of wood and load will create a healthy living environment 1st thought was wood and the idea morphed into a half timbered design the entire house is built without a single stone and. today's new have tempered houses don't show their youth they've got several centuries ahead of them perhaps even provide a backdrop for a bollywood movie someday soon just like their historical counterparts. it's not uncommon to hear that knowledge is being lost due to the effects of modernization and changing lifestyles sometimes knowledge doesn't get passed down through generations and can die out as possibly this is a loss for society as

a whole but there's good solutions can help italian grandmas share their skills and 10 pick recipes. meet the. pastor grannies web page introduces italian grandmothers their traditional recipes local noodle shapes and personal stories from all around. the intention behind the project is to preserve the centuries old past a tradition. the site was founded by british food writer vicky venice and she's been living in central italy. only for the past 12 years i noticed that young women had to go out to work and simply weren't making pastor anymore is only the older women and i thought someone needs to make a record of facts that it's not just about learning about pastor which is a universally loved food it's also. a granny the residents with

grandmothers and everybody loves their own. today she's visiting a past a granny from a neighboring village. vickie benison films and interviews heart while she makes past her. one thing. and when did you start making this particular pastor. do you remember. if. she did tell you and i've been making this pastor since i was about 10 all the stuff that you all know. my mother taught me and my sister's me to a. mania rolls out to joe thinly down to 2 millimeters thickness. then she cut it into little squares. today she's making couple netty here in the marquee region this field pastor is especially

popular on holidays. then you has nimble hands when it comes to shaping the past or . is it difficult not at all in fact it's easy all you do is folded and press the ends together and. firmly to do 40 much there. it didn't take long to persuade you to take part in a project. i think it's great. this way others can learn a recipes and the tradition won't die out the fact is that. vicki benison has already visited more than $200.00 pastor grannies. hardly any of the grannies can actually name precise measurements but years of experience have talked on how to gauge the right proportions. after the amount is homemade pasta dough i don't quite fit and this is how it should look around solution as well as

nice and even. passed the grannies are on instagram as well. sandon you choose. to. do i think it's important to celebrate all the women's experience and celebrate its and just have fun with it really because it's quite often women often a bit shy and stay in the background and it's nice to kind of push them into the center in. she hopes her project will inspire other people to visit grandmothers in the countries they live in and preserve their recipes and charms for generations to come. now remember my grandma used to drink water out of an old the pot she used to see who are in the water and did not require electricity storing water in these ports

was a common practice across india before the wide scale use of refrigerators one man in delhi is bringing back this practice and ensuring that everyone in his neighborhood has access to clean water. for the last 2 years and i've not large and has. been on a mission to make sure no one in his neighborhood goes thirsty i start my days off 5 o'clock meaning to deliver the 1st round of water for the market and then i come back i plug my system starts and he takes over and he starts delivering water. mark gusts drownded on parts commonly used across india to store water and keep it cool not transient as popularly called the must come man because he has installed nearly a 100 water pots in his neighborhood for public use he fills them 3 to 4 times a day. everybody is more concerned about the b.m.w.

and the most of the time that i made them that i phone lines you know when you don't really need the i phone 8 and the open line with what is more a bottle of making sure that your garlic is velcro ideas. cyclists security guards daily wage labor knows ricksha pullers and pedestrians they are greatly benefit from the service he provides. a staggering 162000000 people in india don't have access to safe water. initiated like now tragedians help improve the situation. i think the principle people should look you some water for the public also the host and it's a lame excuse saying that it will encourage all kinds of people all kinds of people wake the community nothing really belongs to us everything belongs to the community

. because they are your host and whatever you do is good sincerely. for long now traditional camel herders of the jihad have struggled to make a living. the community lives on what the councils provide them with transportation and load bearing but with increased urbanization their utility is diminishing the hotels are now looking at sustainable alternatives to preserve their culture a lot of important their livelihood. this region is india's largest so it's plain and home of the kind i am of their name cut i mean salty in good you not the these chemicals out a special breed that has successfully about dead to transitional areas of vegetation mangroves and grasslands their diet includes various blondes shrubs

and mongrel but if they don't eat monrovia's one along these animals get sick i'm going to eventually we story. the heart is in the catch dejan who have been living with the camels for generations are struggling nowadays to find the preferred food father counted. the mangoes for much closer to us earlier use to take care most or to greece and be back within an hour and there were many a lot of that on about 30 on the mega about right now we need to go 6 to 7 kilometers deeper into the desert to look for grazing ground by the united i'm going to read other now where the. limit on that i don't want to sign for direction and processing is storing ordinary groves. sort of what i am going to get there that are going. to that i was going to do to. the old mild hardy as the

heart of that called out traditional pastoralist to live on the camels using them for transport or by selling them ok. but today there's livelihood is threatened the once thriving mongrel fatah's are fast disappearing giving the. assault bands for big manufacturers. in 2011 with the help of a local ngo the camel harder organize themselves into the kutch want. to fight for their rights over the years they have filed a case in the national dream tribunal a special court that deals with the cases related to and vironment issues to disallow salt manufacturers from operating in the region and ensure better implementation of the conservation plan of the highly threatened. in 2013 together with the ngo they came up with an idea to secure their livelihood

. for years they only used camel wool for their own needs to make seat rests while riding camels are bags for their belongings taking this practice beyond the image it community could not only give them a new more of livelihood but also help guns are the carrier but it. is a matter of pride we're. really here. for this one doesn't require any sort of. a lot of chemical buying process. and there is a possibility of getting a very beautiful product out of this. this one who has. the ngo coming here has been helping the herders of catch to set up an assembly line process the camels are sheared once a year just before the region's harsh summer season occur

a camel produces about 300 grams to 5 kilograms of oil per year depending on its age that's enough to provide a viable source of income to the camel herders. the women are spending the sheared wool injury on the whole community is involved in the processing of shearing the wool spinning began and weaving the plot. traditional rivers like high lanka are also benefiting from the use of gamma wall as a 3rd generation river he sees immense value in living with this wool instead of sheeple for example.

our income had jeans now we get mowed. we get our money on time. proved alongside me since we have come together to figure out which has been a market value and how it can benefit us. to do there are only $6000.00 coming commas in the car but with the common herd taking a big step towards of reinventing the traditional craft and fighting against the fall the spread of the salt industry a sustainable future for both the commons and the herders might be possible. collectively we've always been a forward society rarely looking back but examining traditional practices to help us in not to leave inventing the wheel each time we're faced with a new problem we hope we've encouraged you to think about that or even reach out to

your grandparents about how baseball solutions. we'll see you next week until that the.
