We were really thrilled to be recently invited take part in an online session for the Nabana Earth Weekend (NEW) Festival hosted by the Suresh-Amiya Memorial Trust (SAMT), a not-for-profit charitable, in Santiniketan, West Bengal.
In the session ‘It’s Only Natural – All things Local, Sustainable, Green’ we join a discussion with Smell of the Earth, a family farm in Birbhum, West Bengal, who grow their our own chemical free food and spread the message about natural farming and simple living.
Festival organisers said: “The presentation on the Ginger and Spice Festival played to an appreciative and engaged audience, and contributed significantly to the overall festival.”
We hope that you enjoy it.
