Information about the project :The research project, titled "Enhancing indigenous agrarian techniques to curb Environmental Degradation Furthering the Aim of Sustainable Development" was created by the students of SNGV. He surveyed the food habits of the 40 families in Ahmedabad and came up with the fact that it is directly linked to the cultivation method employed by the farmers. Farmers grow wheat and other staple food crops using artificial soil supplements while millets, green gram, etc are grown without such aid, in a more traditional backdrop. But a startling fact has also been discovered, that people would prefer to experiment with millet-made meals as compared to wheat. This brings out the hope that one day our classical agrarian technique could be re-employed in the farm fields. Bringing awareness about the rise in biomagnification phenomena also seems pivotal in that context.
