"Taking this course was the best decision ever. I am a novice and was hesitant if the course would be too much for a beginner. I had idle land and was keen to start growing my own food. But the course was pretty easy to understand and delivered just at the right pace. I got an in-depth understanding of the basics to start my journey. I have always been very health conscious and growing my own food has given me a sense of security. I know what I am eating and how important it is to transition from chemically sprayed produce."
- Kritika Kishore, New Delhi
"I have transitioned to a zero waste living for the last two years. I love gerdening but I met with little success in growing organic herbs & vegetables. I used all available organic inputs and researched on the internet, yet my plants weren't flourishing. All thanks to this course I understood that there are easy techniques and principles to follow. Growing my own food has given me peace of mind. There is nothing more joyful than seeing your handiwork turn into a 'real' fruit :)."
- Sonika Bhasin, Mumbai
"After completing this course, I realised that growing our own food in a sustainable manner is really important for our health and the environment as a whole. This has given me a new perspective on life. I genuinely feel more connected to the environment when I eat the food I have grown myself. It gives me a sense of fulfilment and joy."
