About the Guest:

Sibabrata Choudhury is the CEO of Living Farms Odisha, an organisation that works with the community to protect indigenous culture, forest, land, agriculture, food, and life practices. Under the leadership of the late Debjeet Sarangi, Living Farms initiated impactful interventions including community kitchen gardens, preservation of indigenous seed varieties and uncultivated forest foods.

In today’s episode, Sibabrata talks about the work at Living Farms, as we discuss the potential of indigenous farming methods in the face of increasingly commercialised ‘modern’ farming practices.
