Arna Jharna

This eco-community in Rajasthan consists of an ethnographic museum preserving decades of folk culture and oral traditions, conducting Rajasthani broom workshops, and sheltering more than 30 varieties of trees and shrubs and 30 varieties of grass carpets. It’s a sanctuary for both desert travelers and inhabitants, combining water-harvesting, nature preservation, and museum exhibits.

FARMING

The 'Dongors' of Odisha

\These cultivators from Odisha are known for their acceptance of nature - so much that they freely let their crops co-exist with insects, pollinators, birds, flies, and even pests! They don’t invest in pesticides or fertilizers at all. By growing a huge variety of crops with alternating patterns of five-month seasonal periods, these farmers have eliminated soil erosion and land pressure issues. They don’t even try to protect their crops from heavy rainfall. They just let nature run its course - and the farmers here report that they have never seen a season of crop failure despite it all.
