Brecha crítica de recursos en la agricultura de Uttarakhand: jóvenes | Binita Shah | TEDxSRHU

Las tierras agrícolas de montaña en Uttarakhand se están abandonando, ya que los jóvenes se trasladan a trabajos urbanos temporales, dejando atrás aldeas y la biodiversidad agrícola tradicional. En esta charla de TEDxSRHU, Binita Shah sostiene que volver a la tierra puede ayudar a revitalizar las montañas y sus comunidades. Se basa en su trabajo en agricultura biodinámica y en su papel en la política de agricultura orgánica del estado en 2002. Hace un llamado a los jóvenes a construir una vida sostenible en su hogar.

• Tierras de montaña abandonadas y «pueblos fantasma»
• Pérdida de la capa fértil y biodiversidad agrícola descuidada
• Llamado a los jóvenes a retomar la agricultura

Discover how returning to the soil can heal our mountains and communities in this inspiring talk by Ms. Binita Shah. Addressing the alarming rise of "ghost villages" and the massive youth exodus toward urban gig economies, Ms. Shah highlights a critical paradox: while mountain farmlands are being abandoned and losing valuable topsoil to torrential rains, traditional agricultural biodiversity is being left behind. Drawing on decades of pioneering work in biodynamic agriculture and helping establish Uttarakhand’s historic organic policy, she issues a passionate appeal for the younger generation to reclaim their agricultural legacy and build fulfilling, sustainable lives at home. Ms. Binita Shah is an organic and biodynamic farmer, social entrepreneur, and agricultural development professional dedicated to sustainable farming. She founded SARG India and SUPA Biotech Pvt. Ltd. to promote organic agriculture and empower farming communities. She played a pivotal role in shaping Uttarakhand’s Organic Agriculture Policy in 2002 and led the state’s Organic Commodity Board from 2003 to 2015. Her work has helped farmers across multiple states adopt sustainable agricultural practices. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
