In early 2019, Dr. Vandana Shiva visited the CoCo members in Pune, and we had a wonderful personal interaction that was encouraging and motivating. This meeting also made us realise, that to be one with nature, one must keep learning from nature!
In September 2019, Surabhi attended a course called “A-Z of Biodiversity, Agroecology and Organic Food Systems” at the Earth University in Navdanya. Learning from renowned faculty from all over the world, as well as local farmers with invaluable traditional knowledge, she has learnt about farming and food systems that coexist with nature, producing nutrition and health through balanced ecosystems.
With participants from all over the world, knowledge was shared about cultural traditions, food, health and farming.
