.....in their own words

As the organic movement grows in northeast India, a number of small-scale tea growers and farmers have been trying out some of India's traditional Vedic practices - and finding them very useful in improving the soil and reducing damage done by insect pests and disease!

There are lots of short, educational videos describing these practices online, but very few in Assamese language and none in most of the regional languages of Assam and other northeast states.

One of the projects Fertile Ground's volunteers will be working on this year will be to help local people share the information they've gathered by creating their own videos, and then uploading that information to the internet. 

If you're in the Comox Valley and have a digital camera in good working condition that you'd like to donate to this project, you can leave it with our friends at The Broken Spoke, 420 Fitzgerald Ave., in downtown Courtenay!

We like to request all Agriculture Scientists to help us to run our NE PLANT HEALTH CLINIC smoothly. It is a venture like a Nursing Home in two modes ,one is static and another is movable.In static Plant Health Clinic the Doctors of Plants i.e. Agricultural Scientists will give consultation with farmers to solve their farming problems professionally,there will be specialists like Agronomist,Entomologists,Horticulturist,Pathologists,Extension Education,Agril. Engineering,Agri. Meteorologist,Agri. Economists etc for special treatment. There will be one laboratory for soil,plant ,fertilizer,water,pest,nematode etc tests etc.
We think MBBS Doctors can run Clinic,so we the Agriculture people can also run plant health clinic for agriculture development.
