The Women Collectives behind India’s Farming Revolution

Last week we spoke with Vijay Kumar Thallam to discuss the development of Andhra Pradesh's natural farming movement to feed 50 million people in a few short years; in this episode we're joined by two of the women who are part of this movement. We’re joined with H. Vanurakka, or Vanu, from Durudakunta village of Kalyandurgam Mandal in the Anantapur District & Konda Usha Rani, or Usha, of the Nutakki Village in the Guntur district. They’re both single women farmers.   This episode is particularly special, as our host for this episode was none other than our friend Dr. Ayesha Khan, and some of the translation voiceovers were provided by Nash Flynn. Make sure to check out their work at both The Disorderland Podcast & the Death and Friends podcast, respectively.     You can follow their story on Facebook: Andhra Pradesh Community Managed Natural Farming Twitter & Instagram: @APZBNF https://apcnf.in/     To support this podcast, join our patreon for early episode access at www.patreon.com/poorprolesalmanac For more information and updates, visit www.poorproles.com and subscribe to our e-mail list.
