Bengaluru ashram grows 400 kg mango ginger on 500 sq ft, claims 4x yield with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar-backed farming model
Bengaluru's Art of Living Ashram has grown 400 kg of mango ginger on 500 sq ft using permaculture, claiming four times the yield of chemical farming. The Sri Sri Ravi Shankar-inspired initiative promotes sustainable agriculture and waste-to-wealth practices.
The Bengaluru Ashram, linked to spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, has cultivated 400 kg of mango ginger on a mere 500 square feet of land using permaculture methods. This achievement is claimed to be four times the yield compared to traditional chemical farming, demonstrating an efficient waste-to-wealth approach. The initiative embodies the Art of Living Permaculture programme's focus on sustainable agriculture, which has been promoting nature-based farming practices for over a decade.
By employing techniques such as enhancing soil fertility, conserving water, and maintaining healthy ecosystems, the Ashram aims to boost land productivity while reducing waste and fostering resilient farming systems.
