- The Eco Factory Foundation presents #TEFFTalks (Sanwaad) Under The Banyan Tree.
Our "Sustainable Champion" will be Mr. Andrew Millison, the worlds one of the most known figure in the area of permaculture who has been studying, creating, and instructing since 1996. He founded the Permaculture Design Program at Oregon State University in the United States. The event's day chair will be Mr. Anand Chordia, founder of The Eco Factory Foundation and director of technology and innovation at Suhana Spices, in a discussion about The Eco Factory Foundation's work in sustainability.
Join us LIVE on Instagram, Facebook, CZcams on January 25, 2023, from 4 to 6 p.m. to become a TEFFian because there is so much to learn and comprehend from the journey of this global influencer.

Thank you Andrew, applying your teachings to our desert in Arizona. After one year we are seeing a vast difference.
Right on... Restoring ground cover (trees/grass) cools the ground and restores the local water cycle. YES... carbon in the ground, or loss of, is exponentially more powerful than the cars we drive but the cooling and healthy water cycle restoration is even more powerful. Teach it Dr. Millison!
I'm an indigenous woman living in Oklahoma, and I am in awe of your content. I am working to convert my little homestead to permaculture/regenerative agriculture ways. I personally wrote the president about my concerns for our homelands, and your work around restoration of aquifers, asking him to adopt these principles as a national effort so that my children and grandchildren have a habitable world. We need projects on the same huge scale as India if we hope to reverse the desertification of our country. Please consider what you/I/we can do to bring these projects to a national level here. Thank you for your work and inspiration.
I really hope you will focus on using your own land properly so you can influence your neighbors and others, the “national” level is out of your control and will always be. As a native you do have a better opportunity to influence the tribes on reservations in America. Native American tribes are some of the largest land owners in the country and live on some of the most degraded lands which have the most opportunity for improvement.
@@aron8949 I definitely practice permaculture/regenerative agriculture on my property, and we teach anyone who will listen. The US is in serious trouble regarding the desertification of huge swaths of land and depleted aquifers. I think a national effort isn't out of the question, but people need to be educated and recruited fast, as in India. I am ever the altruist, and have to believe that we're capable of saving ourselves before it's too late.
While I very much agree, these people are the same ones who knowingly let this happen to the land and there's no scenario where they are anything but the enemy to be fought, regenerative practices are great for projects and the community level but unfortunately inconsequential without a mass movement behind it - we mustn't delude ourselves especially in the "holistic" permaculture sphere.
You seem of the nature to handle the process of provoking long term change. I agree with Aron and Sarah in that you must first be the example on your own ground but that is also strategic in gaining allies. Constantly show people what you are doing and when you find the interested show them both the results of the Paani project and then also the good cause and effect information of how the loss of the buffalo have turned our plains into desertified waistlands. I believe there does exist the foundational understanding in enough people that you can show them both what was and what could be again, leveraging Permaculture, Water Sequestration and Restorative Grazing. It is said that you only need 15% of a population to get change going. You can convince enough peope in your state to want change there then you have the foundation to move onto a national audience... maybe both concurrently. With people like Dr. Millison teaching it, and people like you both living it and preaching, it there is always hope for change. Every great movement/restoration simply started with a few people practicing the change they wanted to see and talking about it in a reasonable way. We talk to people like they already want to help and treat them with the respect they want (diplomacy). We are often surprised how they can react in a positive way.
Hello Marvin... I hope you are old enough to know that fun reference... Anyway, I feel your frustration but I've gained a new perspective in my old age. I grew up in the sixties and seventies with Organic gardening and The Mother Earth News on our coffee table. My family watched in horror as scientific agriculture was king and the big ag corps were just starting to get their claws into things. The professors at OSU thought they were teaching the right things at the time. They got their degrees in the 40s and 50s and chemical fertilizers and big tractors were "making a huge and wonderful impact on modern agriculture." Streams were being straitened out which made agriculture and maintaining pastures so much easier. Children were being experimented on in public schools to prove that a parent could not give their children any form of a good education... and destroying the poor children who's parents signed off on them being part of these experiments... Anyway, it was all done by most with good intentions. Our scientists were influenced by the powerful seeking riches (oil companies) and they influenced academia which produced wave after wave of "modern farmers" and public land managers. Just as the leaders of the past were influenced to implement short-term thinking policies, we can influence current leadership to start reversing the damage. The more local, the more likely you are to get change. Start with some counties around you and identify where implementing beaver restoration can have huge positive effects. Take the allies you gained in that and look for a larger project. The cold reality in American politics is that the higher you go, the more powerful and rich the people are behind them pulling the strings. The politicians are more "like pawns" the higher up you go. The higher up you go, the more you need to show that reelection will be positively influenced by supporting your cause. Don't be bluffed into inaction. Be the voice you want to be and live the change you want to see.
Such a beautiful lecture.. and very good questions asked
Great video! I was part of your free online course. ☺️ I adore your channel and hope you continue to post your informative videos. I wish I had taken the class before we purchased our home in Central Oregon but I'm determined to bloom here anyway. 🖖
brilliant, as always, reawakening the ties that bind us all together.
Great talk!
Discovering your channel. Great content and inspiring example.
Could you cut, comment and summarize the most important parts of this speech, Andrew ?
Thanks Pierre. I probably won't get around to editing this presentation but I appreciate the good feedback.
@@amillison You're welcome. Currently working in a project in South Tunisia (Gafsa) where better water management would be needed.
