Introduction to Permaculture Farm
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, one of the greatest humanitarians in the world today, decided to convert a part of the Art of Living International Ashram in Bangalore, into a lush green farm, to set an example. What separated this farm from other farms was the challenge that lay in transforming this mountainous land sans top soil, into a living jungle with abundant food supply. Gurudev wanted to show the world that it is possible to grow food on the most infertile terrain, if only we respected the laws of Nature.
Today, the Art of Living International Ashram Permaculture farm houses a conglomerate of plant species and birds and is an abundant source of fruits and vegetables. We hope to transform many such landscapes and educate people about the advantages of permaculture design as a strategy for land remediation and home grown food. Being in sync with Nature, walking the Permaculture path is the only way to care for ourselves and our planet sustainably.

What is Permaculture
In 2018, an eminent lawyer in India lost his father to cancer. His father was a vegetarian, a teetotaller and yet he fell prey to the deadly cancer. Even after a so-called sattvic lifestyle what went wrong? The doctors shared that even the vegetarian food that we eat today is no less dangerous because it is grown using pesticides and chemicals. He stumbled upon a course in permaculture and this changed his life. He bought a 7 acre farmland and now works to make it a model farm. He grows his own chemical free food and inspires all around him to do the same.
In simple words, permaculture is the new way of life and sooner we adopt it we can contribute to nurturing the quality of our soil, water, air and as a result safeguard our health and reverse climate change. The easy part is that one does not need acres of farmland to grow their own food; a small terrace, balcony or even the kitchen window pane is enough to make a start.
