magazine story and not only from india but across asia and europe that i can. report the story of an inspirational comeback history books not just the integral has a troubled past in india the die for which you write was a major source of exploitation in the british the colonizers commission. which led to hunger and despair in fact was a big barrier for cultivating. but a collective were found. in a sustainable. crop. something magical that describes extracting pigment from an indigo plant the

timing and external conditions must be perfect it is the only way to get exactly the right shade of indigo the 42 year old says his own mood is critical. if i'm upset. when we 1st. leaves. it when you're citing and. seeing his affinity for indigo today it is hard to imagine the fun and vision and then die. different going to get bought for himself 15 years ago when he completed his master's degree in geography. suddenly changed after his father's untimely death and an opportunity led him to the speed of natural dying with. it is a physically strenuous process which requires scientific position and artistic ecstatic both of which has none and must.

have a himalayan movement that is binding but if i was off it's nonpolluting natural diet through a sustainable supply chain that has been built around producers like. me is a social enterprise that creates commercial opportunities in textiles and die making . it began using it as a way of connecting the people with the mountain ecosystem years ago. when it was. by the british government that the farmers had to go into gold as a contractor crop a percentage of their crop had to be nickel and they were given seeds on very high

interest rates leading to a lot of starvation debts suicides and so on and so forth looking at that it was it was a tough subject even ventured into the moment that occurred towards indigo i had people just telling me that the hell can i even plonk about what with and it would be. considered the father of modern india was among foment to lead a revolt against forced indigo cultivation in 1970 this war was the 1st of it's going to provide a clear direction for india's freedom struggle culminating 30 years later. on independence from the british colonisers. today and he hopes to transform the idea of the indigo as one that resonates with prosperity empowerment and sustainability. 300 who have been creamed and

indigo cultivation are growing the dye crop and rotation that food crops using organic farming techniques. this not only increases soil fertility because of indigos nitrogen fixing qualities but also provides much needed additional income for the produces. over the last 3 years and you davey from des goli village has been planting a small patch of her farmland but indigo together with the crop once a year by 2019 she and 10000 rupees the plant also keeps wild animals away. that she knew were boarding. i began growing indigo because i might it would. some magic farming rice for example meant having to kill on a constant you for a while and thanks monkeys and other pests are damaging to crawl through what i've

always worried about whether there'd be anything left for me and then my live but it got me before. compared with the synthetic version of the organic garden is much cost but also more eco friendly. the crop cycle last about 90 days requires 10 to 12 days of live and nearly guarantees and provided the crop isn't damaged by unseasonal rigs or other effects of climate change what began as a small experiment has blossomed into a sustainable and african sea to scoff indigo when you change that in short or donna me and self-sufficiency the production are mainly sold in india but are also exported to countries such as germany japan or the us come out of florida to ya through our borders are seen by people around the country i'm not going to turn off our hard work and we are really proud of it and i know it feels good to know that people appreciate and fair macof you.

ringback with the himalayan indigo project the pigment seems to be bringing in a new kind of. healing the wounds inflicted by the british east india company on the community in the land where it has gone. now like many grassroots organizations across india embodiment of connect decision making and self determination emotional sweat lodge which was the guiding principle in india. and badminton mr jordan's connection and finding solutions so that more and more people and organizations can benefit from it.

so these are all movements where people have actually tried to claim that for all my toes that affect our lives we should be the ones who are taking decisions all be central to the decision making we can't believe it through governments and corporations and so on. it's what i was actually a very ordered concept in india comes from ancient script shows and then doing the investments movement against the british colonial rule it was up to the eyes by many different movements such as put in since the moment done on kindle and others where the british were trying to update them killed over our production systems on

agriculture and so on. and then down the rabbit especially in his book ins what i was and then in the movement but what's important is still realize that it's not just about india's independence from colonial rule about a nation's independence. it is actually much more about an individual and of communities hard on me and freedom but responsibility to other peoples and other communities around the mean freedom which means it encompasses a deeply ethical we'll being of living it encompasses my self restraint so that i don't impinge on the rights of others to live. in india the concept of development has been taken over the state from the west in

that. since and we have imposed it all successive governments have been boys did you go to state socialism or not increasingly to capitalism it means that g.d.p. growth has to happen at any cost which means you can cut down for those who can. bring out over to learn you can do anything you can displace millions of people in the pursuit of this kind of there was a man can function in italy in modernized development we seem to think of ourselves as apart from nature we have to figure out how we are actually part of pretty please insert ourselves understand that other species have their own right to exist that everything around us has as a spirit of being or a is in is is something in itself which needs to be respected. for the last 40 years what i've seen is a lot of communities in india and other parts of the world that are actually practicing in some senses different notions of swaraj for instance women farmers in different parts of the country claiming food so energy which means complete control

over everything to do with food you know the seeds the land the water the knowledge our movements to reclaim community control order of what is in central india and other parts of the country. build in the notion of square our which is a deeply political and economic concept of independence and autonomy as they said but also the responsibility to the rest of nature and so because what ours but also a radical ecological democracy in the sense of trying to rescue the word democracy from its current liberal interpretation where we think elections is about democracy actually democracy is about power of the people we each have within ourselves inherent power to take decisions or be part of decision making many other values that are explicit or implicit in this but instance of the value of solidarity not one but addition but cooperation the value of working with nature as a promise not as private property the value of rights of all species the value.

living simply because if you if you consume more and more and more you're actually impinging on the rights of other communities or on other species the value of diversity so that i respect your ethics and your ideologies and your beliefs and faiths and you respect mine. and you have to fundamentally order the economy in order for people to have much more control over their own productive resources and in order for these sorts of occupations also to gain respect and be something that also encourages young people to get into them rather than everybody running boards and machinery and industry and so on. self-reliance sort of maneuver ties become quite a buzzword in india these days everybody seems to realize their crisis tells us

that we have to be self-reliant but the way in which it's being manned and the kind of packages that are being pushed out actually pushing people more and more towards commercialization privatisation. with it because what i would show many many things happen one is that for instance we make the centralized state a much less important probably even withers away and each of us begins to understand how we can take control over our own lives with as i said responsibility for others as collectives as communities wherever we are.

like. we have to recognize that other species and the whole also have rights and that their value is not determined only by how useful they are to human beings but the way the world is the scene the world can we expect industry for example to use this as a guiding principle a company in indonesia buildings. here only outskirts of thunder on a city on internees is main island java something is being cultivated that could be of great value. mushrooms they rarely draw much attention there are many species with many varied properties some one are showing others contain medicine allegiance here they are the raw material for an innovative kind of textile. mushroom is a pretty real to be sustainable future a leather you care is cruel mycelium original piece part of the fungus can mean

making perfectly. without any bjork p.v.c. or any chemical content grace material how do you raise in your growth comes from a family of mushroom farmers in 2012 he and some colleagues founded a startup. but they quickly changed tack to focus on my psyllium they are committed to developing a sustainable animal friendly fashion industry compared to animal their mindset of mary is having a really huge advantage in environmental impact for example we can share much less water we don't have to kill. we can move vertical farming so we can save some species and it's also i mean it's a really last carbon emission they feed the mushrooms with organic waste such as sort of just. their company micro tech sources it locally what's waste for the witch mill is

a recyclable treasure here. first the sawdust just cleaned with steam then it's mixed with tiny mushrooms. they consume the sawdust and at the same time on the outside of the sawdust blocks they produce tightly woven mycelium which can be harvested within a few days. the process uses a fraction of the water used in standard leather production less than 110th. this has caught the attention of how long he makes and sells shoes many of course a major flood but these days he's keen to find alternatives. to leather industries one of the biggest contributor for carbon emission and we see that as as long as words keep selling forward whether forward and as the cells grow we keep damaging the environment and it came to a realization that we need to find

a so sustainable solution at 1st he bulked at the notion of mushroom lover but his team have now learned how to work with it. my slim fabric is breathable flexible under a bust it can last for years and it's an eco friendly sustainable product companies around the world are discovering its advantages. my feeling i'm sure you still have a long way to go they're not yet widely available they are not yet a mass market product it has there are higher costs because due to the scale meaning that we still produce a limited quantity it's a learning curve but as an innovation company we need to and i think the future will be very bright for us. at the resin you grow and his team agree that busy ramping up production they already have orders is far ahead just 2027.

truth only we are producing 2000 square feet of myself per year however the demand is really huge so we need to double down our capacity in order to keep up with. the company is growing it used to have just 5 employees now it has 38 monitors carefully the quality of it so i would put even testing samples to destruction. new girl and his team still have some way to go but they hope that mushroom leather alternative is at the least a good step forward. the idea that each one of us is responsible for ourselves our community and bombardment is quite wonderful but in reality this is not an easy decision to move on a project in the netherlands that's good for me and bob and the people who need it but some. 60

kilometers from amsterdam on a tourist boat the destination is one that only recently appeared on the map 5 islands in an enclosed sea or lake created out of nothing in 4 years called marco water and. in 1976 the construction of a dam sealed off this portion of the north sea which became like a vast pond with no water in that so outlet muddy and stagnant market of all them was right because of getting rid of the suffocating blanket the slick. we make. i o o roof through with the soil that's causing the problem. one of the islands is now open to the public it has a functioning harbor for several private visiting vessels a visitor's center a beach and 5 houses that can be rented out for a week visitors are attracted by the remoteness of the place although it's only an

hour away from the mainland not 12 monument is one of the dutch n.g.o.s behind the project as soon as the silt and sand was pumped from the bottom of the sea to form 5 roughly shaped mounds the water and wind continue the shaping of the new land at 1st reeds and grasses were planted to retain the scent genes but soon nature took over covering all with the blankets of flowers and plants at the latest count some 120 species of birds have arrived including gulls cormorants and more than 2200 nesting common turns but not everyone is happy with the new arrangement. about 20 kilometers to the north fishermen in the town of book say declaring the area and nature reserve has deprived them of the whole market man lake in one stroke. we don't have

a problem with the market. we love nature too because we're nature people. but we made all these investments and suddenly we cut our legs we had $450.00 nets and now we can only use 15 percent. of the parent not fight so then we tried to go outside to the north sea we adapted to boats for that but really they're too small we tried for years to go out there and spring to get back on our feet. all because a lot of the one. in the struggle to allocate land and sea in the densely populated netherlands nature has won this time the fish have returned to the market mallaig and for one. that only being hunted by the birds. and lot of fossett around the world may not be familiar with the works what are. these words and boarding interactions are i took portumna. one wanted to bring more

diversity to the above mentioned went down a little swatch so she found the black box. in metro to find out about the. drives you to campaign what you're wrong leads ringback you to change the way you live is emotional so called set. deeply positioning yourself quite differently in relation to nature so they identify with us may you identify with damage this is something that the western organizations can really take on into building up these feelings within the population so that it is the power of force in the environment.

in 987 that's 33 years ago the end vironment to movement in this country was purely white people and the group of friends including myself we got together you know what this i sit round having dinner talking to each other they say don't we notice actually this no black and i think minorities that you see anywhere in the environmental sector so we thought we should do something about it. and this all the things goes on and on with nothing happening and then something in opportunity comes it was a european year of the environment and we apply plus more mounted money and got it and that kicked off everything. when i grew up

in hong kong as a child and hong kong in those days is not like the glitzy thing it's now known to be it was the era when people will pouring in the cross a border from china because of the unrest and my parents ran the china so we were very poor my parents came from nothing and taking nothing with them and all that but nature will stay in the show was such an amazing thing. as a child i was in movies and the chinese so calls have a very deep relation with nature and now a rich in the way of being is very and the mistake so i'll close this nature is something that's in continuous through my life. nature is not local is local and global you know you pollute something of blows across the world doesn't stay where it is and actually a lot about pollution that the moment though which was germany and causes acid rain

in the black forest is doing it but you can't change the patterns of nature so these people will very environmentally conscious of the world are more open to working with people of the world that innocent man or at least intrinsically local and global people constantly in touch with their countries of origin so in a way they have more investment in environmental themes global themes than anybody else they are connected they're global people. i hope to be sceptical has given you enough for talks on how we can do a mission ship with the environment to live in. i'll see you again next week until then. good care of yourselves your loved ones.
