Take a look at us how permaculture farming is growing rapidly in India. Manisha Lath Gupta, who was an executive vice president in a private bank, decided to grow healthy food for herself and her family in 2011. They bought a barren piece of land, devoid of any vegetation and without topsoil. It took the couple 7 years, but in the end, she and her husband created a food forest called Aanandaa or tranquillity, using principles of permaculture. Aanandaa farm is located on the base of Morni hills, about an hour's drive from Chandigarh. What was a barren piece of land seven years ago is now a food forest with more than 4,500 trees.
