The traditional building practices, influenced by the unique combination of local climate, cultural heritage, and available resources, exemplify a harmonious relationship with nature. Through their sustainable approach, these architectural marvels stand as a testament to the wisdom of the past and the possibility of coexisting with the environment in perfect harmony. 🌿🏞️

🌿 Salient Features of Indian Vernacular Architecture 🌞🏡

➡️ Courtyards and Ventilation: A brilliant understanding of natural airflow is shown with the clever use of courtyards and well-positioned windows. By inviting cool breezes indoors, these architectural marvels ensure a refreshing and comfortable environment even during scorching summers. 🌬️🌿

➡️ Jalis and Chhajjas: The artistic touch of jalis (latticed screens) and chhajjas (overhangs) not only adds to the aesthetic charm but also serves a functional purpose. By filtering sunlight and reducing heat gain, these intricate designs effectively maintain cool interiors, providing respite from the blazing sun. ☀️🌿

➡️ Thick Earthen Walls: The wisdom of using thick earthen walls goes beyond aesthetics. These sturdy walls act as natural insulators, shielding indoor spaces from the sweltering heat of the outside world, ensuring comfort and well-being within the sheltered haven. 🌾🏠

➡️ High Ceilings: High ceilings are more than just grand design elements; they serve as a practical means to enhance air circulation. By creating a stack effect, warm air is encouraged to rise, making way for the inflow of cooler air, resulting in an ideal indoor environment even amidst the hottest days. 🏞️🌿

➡️ Sustainable Materials: It embraces the philosophy of sustainable living by utilizing indigenous materials like clay, stone, and thatch. These locally sourced materials not only reflect cultural heritage but also possess inherent cooling properties, advocating a greener and eco-friendly lifestyle. 🌱🏜️

Follow this Step-by-Step Guide to a Continuous Organic Fertilizer! 🌱 Let's embrace the wonders of nature as we nurture our plants with the richness of "Black Gold." 🍅🌿

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies 🛠️🌾
Get a sturdy compost bin or worm bin, ready to be the home of these magical creatures. 🏠 Collect organic kitchen scraps like fruit peels, vegetable trimmings, and coffee grounds – the perfect feast for our worm friends! 🍂 And don't forget shredded newspaper or cardboard to create cozy bedding for them. 🌿 Lastly, meet your garden heroes the Red Wigglers are the perfect partners in this eco-adventure. 🌿🐛

Step 2: Set Up Your Worm Bin 🏠🌿
Start by lining the bottom with moistened shredded newspaper or cardboard, providing a soft and welcoming bed. 🍃 Next, layer the organic kitchen scraps, but be mindful to avoid meat, dairy, and oily items as these won't sit well with the worms. 🍂 Finally, introduce your compost worms gently on top of the scraps, letting them explore their new home! 🌱🐛

Step 3: Keep 'Em Happy and Fed! 🍽️🐛
To keep the worm party thriving, regularly add kitchen scraps to their feast, but take care to bury them slightly in the bedding. Ensure the bedding remains moist to provide the ideal environment for our wormy friends. Moderation is the key, so avoid overfeeding them! 🍽️🐛

Step 4: Harvest the "Black Gold" 🌱🌾
In a few months, your compost worms will work their wonders, transforming the kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich vermicompost - the precious "Black Gold" of gardening. When the compost is ready, gently remove it from the bin, leaving the worms to continue their tireless efforts in creating more "Black Gold" for you. 🌱🐛

Step 5: Fertilize Your Plants! 🌱🌿
Mix the vermicompost with your garden soil, enriching it with organic goodness. 🍅 Alternatively, use it as a top dressing around your beloved plants, giving them a nutritious treat. Watch in awe as your plants thrive and flourish, embracing the nourishing benefits of organic fertilizer! 🌱🌿

Rising flood occurrences due to heavy rains and environmental changes have become a concerning issue, posing threats to homes and communities. Traditional urban planning is no longer enough to handle these challenges effectively. We need innovative and sustainable solutions to safeguard our surroundings and stay resilient in the face of calamities.

💡 Solutions:

🌱 Green Infrastructure 🌿: Embrace the power of nature by incorporating green infrastructure in your landscape design. Bioswales, rain gardens, and green roofs act as natural sponges, absorbing and managing stormwater runoff effectively. They not only prevent flooding but also create vibrant green spaces that breathe life into urban environments. 🌳💧

⛰️ Natural Contouring 🏞️: Work with nature's flow and design landscapes with natural contours, water channels, ponds, and wetlands. These elements act as natural reservoirs, holding excess water during heavy rains and gradually releasing it. The beauty of these natural features lies in their dual role: flood-fighters and stunning additions to the scenery. 🌊💪

🚧 Permeable Paving 🌧️: Pave the way to resilience with permeable paving! Using permeable materials allows rainwater to infiltrate the ground, reducing surface runoff and preventing flooding. This sustainable approach not only supports stormwater management but also adds a touch of elegance to your outdoor spaces. 🌧️💦

🌿 Let's be proactive and create landscapes that can stand strong against floods, protect our communities, and nurture nature in the process! 🏞️💚

Pictures shared of flooded fields are the most common sites across North India post the havoc caused by incessant rainfall earlier this week. Soil found across conventional farms has just not been able to absorb the rain water for close to a week. Lack of water absorption will result in soil erosion, damaged crops and failure of rain water to seep back into the water table.

How has conventional farming managed to create this situation you ask?🤷

Well, soil is one of the most important “Living” element in agriculture. It is living because it is home to different organisms like insects, bacteria, fungi 🪱and many more which keep the organic content of soil intact. Now decades old practices stemming from conventional agriculture, like excessive tilling using 🚜, monocropping, pesticides residue to name a few, have destroyed the organic content of soil, resulting is killing soil’s water absorption capacity.

👉 Regenerative and sustainable agriculture techniques are the need of the hour to replenish soil with its organic matter and sequestered carbon content. It is estimated that each 1 percent increase in soil organic matter helps soil absorb 20,000 gallons more water per acre.
