How to grow a half acre organic farm in Faridabad, India | Karm Marg Charitable Society

- Veena Lal runs a charitable society for destitute children by the name Karm Marg. The organization is located in sector 84, Faridabad in Delhi NCR region.
The 2-part series is about her organic farm and mud house located next to the organization and children's home. This video is about the organic farm and how it was developed over the years since it was bought by Veena Lal in 2003. According to Ms. Lal, the farm provides for her, her staff, and all the 50-60 children living in Karm Marg. She does not need to visit the market for food as the farm sustains them fully. The main produce is vegetables such as brinjal, potatoes, apple gourd, round gourd, bottle gourd, okra, cauliflower, brocolli, etc. Other than these, there are carrots, onions, garlic, and even turmeric. They also grow a wide variety of fruits, including citrus fruits which attract winged creatures such as bees, butterflies, and even some rare birds. Ms. Lal specifically focusses on plants and trees with medicinal properties (neem, aparajita, amla) that are essential for the mental and physical growth of the children coming to her campus.
There are a lot of animal and living creatures on the farm including chameleons, squirrels, and snakes. Veena Lal believes that this is basically their land. It belongs to these creatures. Humans have come later. So, it is their right first to live here. And then ours.
Veena Lal follows the principles of permaculture and is now growing so much produce that much of the produce is being sold as well. She also follows sustainable architecture and has built a home for herself on the farm itself. More of that will be discussed in the 2nd video.

@@D2E In the beginning of the video Veenaji explains how she made the soil fertile by letting weed and crops grow and mulch into the soil. I have an idea worth considering here - Poor people in India still defecate in the open. Most of these people are healthy and most of this excreta is manure quality. So if someone in sustainability devises a structure to collect human excreta daily say with a "seat" every few square metres, one could pay poor people to poop at a farm to enrich the soil for about 3 - 6 months. Human excrete would become valuable and if planned correctly, it would generate a lot of awareness and would take on organically. Like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and other social media and advertising companies monetize our attention ("eyeballs"), a sustainable ecological-economical system to pay people to poop in order to make manure would be an interesting experiment. Of course you cannot pay a lot, maybe Rs.5 - 10 per poop, which would make the resulting manure cost about Rs. 500 - 1000 per day which might be feasible for maybe a few weeks (or whatever duration the landowner can afford to pay). If nothing it is an interesting thought experiment. Of course, this being India, people will try to consume laxatives and contribute 4-5 poops a day to earn more money on the side, people who are sick would introduce infections and so on. But the concept is worth exploring in my opinion. At least for the massive awareness it could generate. This should be done as part of some study, sponsored by some research fund, so as to not cause hardship to a small sustainable enterprise.
