...Dear blogger and visitor of the Navdanya project,<br /><br />I am Anke, an undergraduate student from an honors college in the Netherlands, and for one of my courses (a research seminar) I am currently doing a small-scale case study on Vandana Shiva’s Navdanya project in India. Unfortunately, due to the limited scope of my research, I do not have the means to travel to India myself, which is why I am mainly relying on first-hand experiences from others like you, who went to see the project themselves. The aim of my case study is “to explore the Navdanya initiative as a way to gather insights into attempts to establish subsistence farming as a viable future and/or alternative to cash-cropping and industrialized agriculture”. I found your blog about your time with this project, and I would therefore like to kindly ask a few minutes of your time for you to answer the follow question: could you describe for me what, according to you, the strengths and weaknesses of the Navdanya project are based on the observations you made and the experiences you yourself had? I would be extremely grateful to hear back from you (it only needs to be a few sentences) as soon as possible. <br />Kind regards,<br />Anke Brons<br />Email at: a.brons@roac.nlAnkeBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911090789620302670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185863231185991583.post-27486675730827187262011-05-20T08:46:06.027-04:002011-05-20T08:46:06.027-04:00Very cool, m. heart!

I've been periodically googling the blog world to read about people's experiences at Navdanya (visiting as an intern is on my dream list at the moment) and found myself here - and then discovered you're in Easthampton and I'm not so far away in the hilltowns! Even the blog world is small I guess ;)Umāhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680155603317072829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185863231185991583.post-71315131537155283982011-05-03T21:24:20.964-04:002011-05-03T21:24:20.964-04:00Alexandra, I hope they made the talk!

I hope she had an audience--it turns out that George Soros was also speaking at Amherst at the exact same time!<br /><br />And Tara, thanks!Sue Dickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964270562532579030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185863231185991583.post-81507048236540053982011-05-03T19:06:39.869-04:002011-05-03T19:06:39.869-04:00I've missed your photos!I've missed your photos!Tarahttp://www.twohandsandaroadmap.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185863231185991583.post-79281917008364077282011-05-02T16:42:03.672-04:002011-05-02T16:42:03.672-04:00Thanks for sharing memories of this trip to India....Thanks for sharing memories of this trip to India.
