Natabar Sarangi - The Source
1 year ago
Natabar continues to find, save and share his indigenous rice seed with local farmers. To date he has managed to re-introduce over 350 varieties.
But it’s not just about the indigenous rice seed of India or about the survival of a sustainable agriculture system with the knowledge of over ten thousand years.
It's about a global phenomenon taking place where a non-sustainable system systematically destroys a sustainable one, where short term profit has the power to overwhelm common sense and the consciousness of many millions, where progress is not progress but the wanton destruction of an eco-system and environment we will never be able to replace.
Natabar Sarangi is just one of a growing number of farmers throughout the world who realise that if we do not begin to repair the damage taking place to our agricultural systems and our environment, we will lose not just our cultural identity but our fundamental right to a truly sustainable system of food security.

Organic agriculture is by no means the answer to feeding the world but it is part of a larger picture. We need to work with scientist to develop and enhance what we already have, not destroy it then create a synthetic polluting corporate model.
Have a look at the IAASTD report. We just need to change our self-interest driven habits and begin to understand who is driving policy.
I hope that makes a little more sense ? jason
ps. are you using a canon 7d for this?
the gmo problem is so big in India - especially in bread-baskets like Punjab - farmers have been brain-washed by the Monsantos and scientists sponsored by the same companies that they do not believe it is possible to even cultivate without the need of pesticides and inorganic fertilizers.
sry for winging...but ur work is truly inspirational...for reporting so well the issues that India and rest of the world caught in the strangle hold of these companies..
congrats..
Many thanks for this.
Would you be able to provide the details of the soundtracks used, and if there are longer versions of the tracks available online somewhere.
Shall look forward to your other films on thesourcefilm.org.
Music is from old Oriya film music. the first is called Jhilmil Jhilmil Raate, the second one is Chandrama Eko and finally is the great Ananda Shankar and Cyrus. Take care. Jason
This is what I have been struggling when does cinema style take way from the story, espeically when dealling with the poor and the hungry of the world, but you seem to have a style that works. Its both in the filming and the editing.
anyway thanks, seems hard to find good models.
Thanks!!
I would love to be able to share the images and the content of your film with some of the young activists we're involved with - Samir Bordoloi from Prakriti-Save Nature, Pompy Ghosh from Adarsh Seuj Prakalpa, and others.
My contact info is on the website. Please let me know if you'd be willing to share your video with people in the northeast. And if you'd like to visit this region and see some of the inspiring work being done by our partners, there, just let us know!
My sincere thanks for the important and inspiring work you are doing........

In The past the main foods were Berries, maple sugar, fish and rice, the ojibwa who are the Anishanaabae prided them selves on there hunting abilities of which was a very difficult skill to have, so the main foods are just as I stated and the hunting culture of my people was and is grossly exaggerated by the "story Tellers" of the Occidental people I am simple writing this as to state some kind of comparison with what has and is happing in North America and your video of Mr Sarangi Thank you very much
