Timbaktu - an inspiring social and environmental endeavour

Sustainability Nov 14, 2012

When a small farming community in South India decided to switch from their decades-old practice of chemical agriculture to organic farming, little did they know that they were planting the seeds of a silent revolution. By showcasing the exemplary efforts of farmers of a tiny village in Andhra Pradesh, Timbaktu explores critical issues of food security and sovereignty. At its heart, Timbaktu looks at the relationship that a farmer shares with her land, her seeds and raises critical questions about food, the very essence of human life

An amazing film about an amazing project. Truly inspiring journey of a group of people who started off with barren land that was murdered by chemical farming and transformed it into a green haven that sustains the local farmers and makes their farming commercially viable
