Why it matters in Dehradun

Seed and food sovereignty training on a working farm beats slide decks alone. Participants leave with hands-on compost, seed-saving, and economic literacy tied to decolonial land ethics.

Bring a notebook; details you capture on site help your block organise a return visit or small solidarity fund drive.

Good to know

• Do I need farming experience? Courses mix beginners and practitioners; read the prerequisite line on each listing.
• Are meals included? Course pages describe farm meals when included; confirm dietary needs on the form.
• Can I visit without enrolling? Public open days are rare; respect that the farm is an active training site.
