IRS Officer Toils For 20 Years to Build 100-Acre Food Forest In MP & Bihar – The Better India

Posted: at 5:41 pm


If 10,000 people in India resort to food forestry today, it can save 50,000 people in the next few years.

Promotion

In the administrative domain of India, Patanjali Jha, a 1986-batch IRS officer who is presently posted as the Director-General of Income Tax (Investigations) Karnataka and Goa, is revered as a veteran.

With a Masters degree from Delhi School of Economics, has established himself as one of the leading government officials in the country. He has also featured in the limelight recently for his selfless initiatives during the COVID-19 crisis.

However, little known to many is the fact that Jha is an expert in food forestry, and has been managing over 100 acres of food forest for the past 20 years, with 60 acres land in Khalghat, Madhya Pradesh and another 40 acres in Purnia, Bihar.

In an exclusive conversation with The Better India, the illustrious officer expressed his deep love and reverence for nature. Speaking in his distinctive baritone, he also shared glimpses of his encyclopaedic knowledge about medicinal properties of indigenous plant species.

My father had around 10 acres of ancestral land in Khalghat, Madhya Pradesh, adjacent to the Narmada river bank. I bought the land from him, and together with five other farming enthusiasts, we bought around 60 acres of land in the region, recounts Jha, while taking me back by two decades to the time when he got intrigued by food forestry.

Initially, a large part of the land was lying barren, ravaged by sand mining and stripped of its natural biodiversity due to unscientific chemical farming.

It was around this time that Jha chanced upon the ideals of Masanobu Fukuokathe pioneer of natural farming. Inspired, he delved further into the concept and learnt about botanist Albert Howards methods. His chance tryst with Bhaskar Save, considered the Gandhi of natural farming, also motivated him deeply.

When I started out natural farming following Fukuokas methods, people warned me against it and said that crops wouldnt survive without tilling. But, we had plenty of sunlight, rains and arable landand I truly believed that it is all a plant needs to survive on its own. And I was right. In the last ten years, the beauty and bounty of the land has grown by leaps and bounds, shares Jha.

He also adds how his farming has been influenced by the ancient Indian scriptures and traditions, indicating his keen interest in the same.

In Khalghat, Jha and his partners have created a 60-acre perennial food forest over the years. They grow around seven to eight different plant varieties in a multilayered arrangement.

Taller trees like neem and babul (Acacia) line the periphery. These are naturally accompanied by the guduchi (giloy) creeperconsidered to be one of the best immune boosters in traditional medicine, shares Jha.

A series of 70-foot-tall moringa trees that Jha and his friends had planted way back in the early 2000s thrive in the central zone of the food forest. These are dotted around with smaller shrubs of citrus plants like kafir lime, mausambi, gondhoraj lime, some seedless varieties of lime as well as the regular lemon.

We have also grown the Badhwani papaya and yellow papaya, the indigenous varieties people now have no clue about. They are more accustomed to the hybrid seedless variety. Besides these, we also grow several varieties of mango, banana, litchi, turmeric, sweet potato, yam, pink pepper, ber (jujube) and aloe vera. However, the star of our food forest has to be vetiver, informs Jha.

Vetiver is a type of grass which has proven to be extremely good for maintaining soil quality. Its roots penetrate deep into the soil, helping in moisture retention in the topsoil as well as carbon fixing. One vetiver shrub is believed to have the same soil protection capacity as that of a large tree.

Jha explains, In Thailand, an experiment has shown that a plant surrounded by vetiver grows about five times faster than their normal counterparts. So now we make sure to surround all our plants with it and have seen our crops give generous yield in a short period of time thanks to this grass.

Branded under Vanya Naturals, the products of Jhas food forest, like honey, pink pepper, turmeric, among others, are marketed online to a steady base of urban consumers. While Jhas business partners and family members manage the finances and logistics, he is primarily interested in the knowhow part of things.

Jhas brother-in-law Himkar Mishra, who looks after the farm in Purnia, Bihar, says, Patanjali has been a true inspiration for me. I used to work as a corporate executive before, but I quit my job in 2016 inspired by his agro-ecological endeavours. Since then, I have been permanently dedicated towards the farm, which has now been turned into a food forest.

Mishra adds that with the help of a few village women, the food forest grows around 40 acres of turmeric and yam at the lowest layer, interspersed with groves of fruit trees like mango, litchi, berry. The forest also has around 1 lakh gondhoraj lemon plants along with 50,000 of Thai seedless lemons, sourced from Kolkata.

Around 40,000 pink pepper trees are also thriving in the forest which are originally from the rainforests of South America. Thousands of moringa and subabool trees stand the tallest, sheathing the entire forest and helping in layered sunlight harvesting. The farm also has a dairy unit comprising cows and goats.

Jha entails trees and bees as the main motto of his food forestry.

Bees are the biggest pollinators in the world. But, we have very little awareness of how our natural exploitation is affecting their population. There will be an apocalyptic food crisis in the world if the bees are not there, along with the trees.

He has also planted marigold plants to invite the bees in abundance. We have also been running an apiary for the past four years in the Bihar farm.

Though presently residing in Bengaluru, Jha makes sure to visit his farms as regularly as possible. His family members take care of the farm in Madhya Pradesh, with the help of a few farming families, though the entire food forest requires very little human intervention aside from the harvesting.

Inspired by the food forest, around 150 farmers in and around Khalghat have replicated the model in over 4000 acres of land, earning huge profits, while saving the environment in turn.

Jha entirely forbids the tilling of land in his method, which he considers as torture on the earth. He also adheres to the minimal use of organic manure and similar supplements; even regular watering is not required in food forestry.

He jokingly refers to food forestry as the grandfather of organic farming, because he believes that the secret to natures bounty is to leave it on its own.

Create enough biodiversity to ensure that your food forest has flowers, fruits, vegetables as well as birds, bees, insects and other animals all living in perfect harmony. Nature is kind and giving. Look how the Yamuna river has cleaned up with just a month of respite from human intervention, says Jha, highlighting how respecting nature is the first step towards a healthy and happy survival.

If 10,000 people in India resort to food forestry today, it can save 50,000 people in the next few years, concludes Jha. He urges everyone to learn to rely on nature and adapt to a more organic diet, eliminating all the chemical-laden produce from ones plate.

Pivot Point program blends art, mindfulness, mental health support – Steamboat Pilot and Today

Posted: May 4, 2020 at 8:45 am


STEAMBOAT SPRINGS To meet the evolving needs of the community during the COVID-19 pandemic, Steamboat Creates newest program has gone through some major updates, including its theme, format and timeline, and its ready to welcome you to participate from wherever you may be.

Pivot Point is a series of free, weekly creative sessions led by local creatives and mental health professionals. The program seeks to create a safe, supportive space to explore creativity and work through uncertainty, anger, depression or fear, working toward mastering coping mechanisms and strengthening ones sense of personal empowerment.

Originally, the program was set to take place in person in fall 2020, with a focus on survivors of sexual assault and their allies. The idea had been inspired in part by the In Our Shoes series, a monthslong project combining reporting, art and discussion, presented by Steamboat Pilot & Today, Advocates of Routt County, Young Bloods Collective and Steamboat Creates, as well as Steamboat Creates Executive Director Kim Keiths experiences with Rangelys TANK Center for Sonic Arts.

The intention was for the program to eventually be replicated to focus on different needs, including those of veterans and people in bereavement.

But in the past month and a half, as the scale of the pandemic emerged and it became clear that spring 2020 was going to present challenges unlike any the community had ever experienced, the creators of Pivot Point decided to redesign the program to be as helpful in the immediate circumstances as possible.

The spring series of Pivot Point welcomes anyone who could use community, creativity and coping strategies, for whatever reason. The series designed for survivors of sexual assault will still take place this fall.

Spring classes will take place entirely over Zoom, which participants may access by video, by audio only or by calling in by phone, which allows participants to be as anonymous as they wish. Each class opens and closes with a short mindfulness exercise, with the main event being a 45-minute creative activity. Creative activities include mandala creations, poetry, expressive writing, sonic arts and dance, and all can be done with basic supplies.

Pivot Point is for people to participate without any prior artistic experience, said Steamboat Creates Program Director Sylvie Piquet. There is zero expectation for what is created its all about the process.

The process of each activity is designed to help participants to slow down, embrace mindfulness, balance their thoughts, strengthen resilience and learn creative tools for personal empowerment. A mental health professional will be available at each session, ready to connect with participants and provide resources.

Artistic expression activates part of your brain to create a new perspective on whats going on, said Dr. Jo Anne Grace, who works as a hospice chaplain and also focuses on brain health and emotional mental health issues. Grace will be teaching the Black Out Poetry session May 7.

These exercises are designed to allow a person to integrate the left and right sides of your brain, and to confirm the wisdom thats deep inside you, Grace said.

Through Pivot Points creative activities, we want participants to find opportunities to transform the weight and challenge of this time into hope and find creative coping skills for personal empowerment to take flight, Piquet said.

This idea is symbolized by the programs logo an anchor thats transforming into a flock of birds.

Pivot Point classes are scheduled for 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Thursdays, beginning April 30. The seriesis set to continue through May 28, but Piquet notes theres potential for the program to continue into the summer, whether online or in person, depending on the state of the pandemic, community participation and program funding.

Pivot Point is free to participants. Creative instructors and mental health professionals are paid through an Arts in Society grant that Pivot Point was awarded. Steamboat Creates continues to seek grants and accept donations to provide Pivot Point programming.

In July, Pivot Point is set to take the form of an exhibit at the Depot Art Center. Entitled Hope, the show will display pieces created by Pivot Point participants, representing spirit, courage and the transition from being wounded to restored.

The End of the Imperial Presidency – The Atlantic

Posted: at 8:45 am


Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan described how she felt when taking part in an early conference call with fellow governors, during which the White House signaled that state leaders would need to find safety and medical equipment on their own. I realized wed have to set up, in our state emergency-operations center, a procurement office that was going to compete with the world, Whitmer told us. That was a sobering moment.

Read: Trumps plan to save his presidency

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said yesterday that Trumps approach shows his commitment to federalism. But he may just want to redirect blame for a rolling catastrophe that could cost him reelection. Hed rather have the governors impose quarantines than him, because he feels theyre then responsible for any economic problems that arise, Saikrishna Prakash, a University of Virginia law professor and the author of the book The Living Presidency, told us.

Save for a brief post-Watergate pause, presidents in the modern era have steadily amassed power within the executive branch. Franklin D. Roosevelts New Deal, Dwight Eisenhowers federal highway system, Ronald Reagans push for education standards that would later morph into the Common Coreall of these chipped away at states authority. Barack Obamas Affordable Care Act extended the federal governments reach by helping states fund the expansion of Medicaid programs. Amid the pandemic, Trump has sounded as if hes prepared to push a presidents prerogatives even further, claiming at one point last month that his authority as president is total.

But in terms of actions, he has basically stuck to things that are clearly within the federal jurisdiction, said Christopher DeMuth, a distinguished fellow at the Hudson Institute who worked in both the Richard Nixon and Reagan administrations. Hes used some emergency authorities, and hes let governors and mayors take the lead. This is a sharp departure from the record in recent national emergencies. After the September 11 terrorist attacks and the 2008 financial crisis, presidential power expanded. New executive agencies grew out of the wreckage, buttressing a model in which the executive was king, he told us.

Trumps approach is the worst of both worlds, Bobby Chesney, a constitutional-law professor at the University of Texas at Austin, told us. Hes using the rhetoric of an authoritarian without any of the China-style payout in terms of taking charge of the actual problem. Rhetorically, at least, hes asserting almost preposterous levels of authority. Fortunately, hes not following through. Hes all hat and no cattle.

A natural role for the president would be to lead the worldwide hunt for medical supplies, leveraging the governments vast purchasing power. Trumps reluctance to serve as what he calls a shipping clerk has left some governors incredulous. Its absolutely maddening, Governor Jay Inslee, a Washington Democrat, told us. Its like being in World War II and not getting the federal government to manufacture boots Its very difficult to understand. I liken it to Franklin Delano Roosevelt saying, Okay, Connecticut, you build the battleship and Ill be there at the launch and break the bottle.
