Greetings from Auroville !
we have exciting news to share: Auroville`s regenerative farming experts are launching a first hybrid training module:
A weekly morning course in "Market Gardening" , presented by Annapurna Farm, AuroOrchard, Buddha Garden and others is offered to all interested.
This is the first in the course series on different aspects including integrating animals in farming, orchard design and management and an integral philosphy of food and agriculture.
The course is first online, with an optional practical involvement in Aurovilles AuroOrchard farm in the later months. https://auroorchard.auroville.org/market-gardening/
The course starts in Nov and continues til March, contribution is on sliding scale.
The aim is to share the expertise in regenerative agriculture in the tropics, which is uniquely acquired over 50 years experience: soil fertility, restoring biodiversity, sustainable water use etc.
A second aim is to attract new volunteers and eventually young people to join Auroville`s farms as farm trainees and future Co-farmers.
Auroville`s expertise in land regeneration is moving into a next phase - sharing its expertise widely and bringing together a large international community of students and supporters .
Already Auroville is part of several big international networks: Global Ecovillage Network GEN and COFSA Conscious Food System Alliance, (part of UNDP) with Thomas Legrand, Andrew Bovarnick, as well as the "Namalwar Multiversity" and the recently founded network "Farmvarsities" in India.
Your support, to consolidate the land and to support our work in bringing the green expertise to fruition is essential. We thank you for every support given! Its much appreciated!
We hope for your continued support, as to Auroville`s land flourish and bring abundance into this world.
Namaste,
Sigrid
