The Permaculture Way of Life | Manisha Lath Gupta | TEDxShivNadarUniversity
When Manisha and her husband acquired a piece of land in the hope to grow clean food and harvest freshwater, they did not know that their lives would change forever, in more ways than one. They established Aanandaa Permaculture Farm as an example of working with nature to create a self-sustaining & regenerative ecosystem. They challenged the local wisdom of chemical farming and convinced their team to adopt a chemical-free path to build a food forest. Watch how Manisha explains the details of converting a barren piece of land into a thriving ecosystem, and why she believes that permaculture is the pathway to self-sustenance and harmony. Manisha Lath Gupta is a Permaculturist, Entrepreneur and a former Marketer and Banker. She is currently the founder of Aanandaa Permaculture Farms - where she employs the sustainable practices of permaculture to reconnect with and give back to nature.
She is also the Co-Founder of Mojarto.com an online portal for artists, galleries, and collectors of Indian contemporary art to buy, sell and exhibit their work. In her earlier roles, Manisha has held crucial leadership roles at Uber, Clix Capital and Axis Bank This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Thank you Mam, I just saw Aanadaa's video day before yesterday. And today I am seeing you in TED. You definately deserved this and much more stages like this to bring back the roots of Agriculture in the ecosystem to enhance the lifestyle of Farmers and lastly we as consumers. We have to live with Nature to live healthy, to age gracefully and with a longer good Life. Namaskar🙏

Wow! I am very impressed. I have been doing permaculture on my farm here in East Tennessee for the last 25 years. I live alone but I produce so much food with just myself as labor. I share with many people and seniors during this pandemic that are unable to get out frequently to shop. A permaculture gardening is a love of mine and also a hobby. I preserve and dehydrate and process much of the food that I eat all year. I am also a vegetarian which I learned to be vegetarian by living in Tamil Nadu South India back in the early 70s. I worked in a small village working with Farmers on teaching methods of increasing their rice production with the use of chemicals and fertilizers. My God, I have come a long way since. I go back to India on occasion because the people in that Village became my family that I love so dearly. Even today, here in Tennessee I still cook and eat mostly South Indian vegetarian food. Thank you for your work. This was an incredible video. Please remain safe and healthy you and your family during this pandemic.

This should be the topic in everyone's mind and heart including government's
BRILLIANT! My wish is that a new earth emerges where humankind realizes that we are totally interdependent upon the earth - plants AND animals.✌Homesteads and small scale will be the new revolution for all globally.
I'm starting architecture school soon and permaculture is a big inspiration for me. I want every home and community to have permaculture at its center. We have to live in nature, in balance-not try to tame it to bend to our will.
The earth will become heaven if everyone will do This is very inspiring talk thank u didi
I am so happy that people are still spreading the P word! My urban food forest in Portland Oregon is now over 10 years old and producing well enough and educating those who come through. My homestead in the city (6 years) has provided us with fruit, vegetables, berries and nuts, our chickens are happy fertilizing our compost heap and giving us eggs. It is a beautiful paradigm shift to experience and it makes me so happy to see others going through it too!!
Beautiful and inspiring talk! I live in Spain and am in the process of buying an old farm for the purpose of setting up a permaculture system.

Well said Sai Ram ji!
Manisha ji - I have exactly the same experience word to word. You are truly inspirational.
"...our farmers are dependent on their next crop for their livelihood" that's so true and I want to thank you for mentioning this. I have been there when my father was earning our whole livelihood through farming. Only way to come out of this is by having at least one person in farmer's family to have job which can support family and agriculture. Only then we will be able to break this chain. Government will never help us on this as it is busy in procuring large farms for corporate who can make government free of its responsibilities towards farmers
New Earth - global localization and decentralization of power - just people living in reciprocity with Mother Earth ❤️❤️ abundance and security for all
very proud of India recognition of climate change and taking action to save the environment and provide for us again
Good to see manisha jee of ananda is sharing her experience on famous platforms like TEDx
Stupendous work Manisha. Would certainly like to see it all in person.
Nothing is more important than Changing what we eat and how it’s grown - great talk!!
Hardworking, powerful women
Financing these farms is the most important ,I am a NRI returned farmer after 6years still struggling.
Best Permaculture journey I have ever seen.
Pure Inspiration, No other words.
What a great testimony, They have too much for teaching us. Thanks!!
Amazing, have just started gardening and composting on my terrace and balconies since the lockdown. Just looking at everything green every morning makes me so happy.
I was spellbounded while watching this video....Mam you and team are doing not only a great job but also sharing your steps...that's why I like your newly founded channel so much....I am almost halfway of watching all the videos of your channel....and will soon watch it all and read all the articles shared by ananda in every platform.... finding your channel is one of the greatest blessings in my life Thank You Aananda.
Our wishes first, you've made understand that farming isn't only for the layman, as could see the frontier of permaculture with dedication and manifestation of dreams into reality. More ahead madam ji.

If you want to be rich, then you can't go with Permaculture and even farming. Permaculture gives you enough to feed stomach with luxurious food but to fullfil luxurious desires
All your words straight from the heart. Left me teary eyed.
I could feel the breaze in your farm from the words itself... I alternatively recommend you to write lyrics for a song.. U r so blessed madam...

Amazing, outstanding, fabulous Great work man. I m engineer but a son of the farmer and going to apply these things in our farm
Lovely. A talk on permaculture that drives you to draw parallels with life. How to remain stoic, steadfast in one's belief and overcome challenges.
Thanks for everything you’re doing Manisha. 🙏
Manisha Ji Good to hear your speech in TEDx as well, appreciate your way of Organic Farming.. Happy Farming 🙏
There is such common sense and infectious enthusiasm in building this permaculture farm! Thought for the present, faith in building a better future for future generations! Good experience on the way to the realization of the idea! They planted good seeds and achieved a good harvest! Be healthy, family, let your farm prosper, which is inevitable with the good care you show!

Beautifully put Ma'am, this is just perfect. Perfectly clearing ALL the "con's" the general public usually have in mind and the reasons why they don't get into agriculture. We're all educated enough to be Urban Farmers 😁 Thank you.
Fantastically inspiring talk and story. The urban folk must lead the permaculture revolution!
Your words inspired me to believe in myself more as a natural Farmer. Thank you !
Had heard of organic farming, but permaculture seems a more holistic approach to farming with an entire ecosystem sustaining itself. Govt must encourage both farmers and common folks to engage in permaculture, which will make us live healthier lives, generate our own food without pesticides, and reduce our carbon footprint too. PM Modi should push such concepts as part of his Aatma Nirbhar Bharat campaign.
I like the way she explains problems faced my her with a smile on her face.
Brilliant talk and inspiring lifestyle. Hope millions of people watch this and get inspired
This is so inspirational... And it's only because of people like you there's hope for a resurgent India we all look forward to... In the near future
my takeaway- slow consumption. thank you for what you are doing ms lath. i need more time in my work life, to make sure i can sustain my interest in a better way of life- farming and an animal sanctuary (hopefully create jobs too) but for some time now, slow consumption and being mindful of how i live my life has been my way of giving thanks to mother earth and the universe.
Possibly the most inspiring video I’ve seen on KZread in all of 2020! Thank you!!! I dream of doing this in West Africa.
Excellent very inspiring, encouraging & Sustainable. Our farmers need a culture change with Permaculture. Let us make our society healthy body with positive & active mind in nation building.
Amsolutly amazing to see what they archived in only 10years! This gives us all hope that it might not be to late to transform to a more natural and cultural (social) live with the planet!
You are inspiring woman. I am inspired by namalvar and after that because of you I am thinking to do my part of natural farming
I wish to have a similar thing in my life.
And for yours dedication towards agriculture / permaculture👏👏
Great video! Very inspiring... Taking care of a piece of land is to take care of Earth and all the living beings on it. Cultivate and be vegan is the way!
Excellent speech. One Manisha is not enough for our country. Planting the trees and mulching are the perfect ideas for the successful farming. Mulches break down over years and contribute to soil health. Thanks Manisha.
Super! Congratulations on such a polished and inspiring TED Talk.
Its so nice to see mam on this stage...
Bravo!! Goose bumps and tingles down my spine as I heard you speak.
Thank you 🙏
Inspirational, Goosebumps you are so great you have all the eligibilities to become a true agricultural minister
I’ve always loved growing stuff since I was little. I’m definitely going to study more on permaculture
Wow. Amazing Talk. It’s Soothing and Peaceful.
Dear Manischa, what a wonderful talk. You have been an inspiraion to me from the very first post on LinkedIN with the first movie on Ananda farm. I dearly hope to be able to visit one day. Meanwhile, we are 1 year into buildng our ecoystem near Pune and going through all the same experiences as you are... I hope and pray that more and more and more people follow and convert their land. Love and abundance!
Permaculture is future of farming

Wonderful and so well narrated. What a life we made ourselves. Thanks very much
Wow, you gave excellent motivational speech on permaculture.
wonderful clear presentation of healthy values and farming practices!
Tears in my eyes. I don't know why. Maybe the thought of how we humans have taken the simple earth for granted and have destroyed it completely.
This was a really great talk. Sleep deprived, would have more to say on it, but it's definitely a favorite far as whats out there. Could imagine if all the resources and space wasted to have the fast food infrastructure had instead been used to grow a food forest if community gardens, what kind of culture we might of had. The US would've been a haven.
You are lucky with the growth you have in your area. I live in northern Europe and our trees grow so slowly, that we have the Dutch expression: ‘Boompje groot, plantertje dood.’ Which means that by the time the tree is big, the planter is dead.

Gorgeous to see you conduct yourself so well mam...❤️🔥💯
Great and inspiring speech by Manisha. This is the need of hour to every body to start farming or adopt farming for quality and healthy food. Her farm is replication of best practices of Natural and Permaculture system.
Excellent speech madam. Inspiring and educating. A success story well articulated. Thanks for sharing.
