Peter Proctor, a farmer from New Zealand, started biodynamics in India over 15 years ago. Since that time, a biodynamic movement has started, that is sweeping the country.
Before Peter arrived 10,000 farmers were commiting suicide each year in India. Industrial farming and modern chemicals can be thanked for this.
After 40 years of using "modern farming techniques" the land was depleted and the farmers were in debt and starving.
Then Peter brought them Bio-dynamics and started a revolution.
Everywhere biodynamics were used the land came back to life, the soil softened from hard brick-like material to soft black soil, the air became cleaner and the water started to appear again.
More and more people are going biodynamic everyday, and the poisons and chemicals that were used are being broken down or are gone completely.
Farmers now have the strength to fight for their rights and are pushing out corporate control and standing their ground.
It is estimated that in 10 years the whole country will be biodynamic.

Hey Arya,

Check the above link for training sessions on Biodynamic farming, fix a schedule, go there and learn yourself then you can teach others at your place, please don’t look for someone to come to your place and teach you everything as they are really busy.
