Responds to — Malnutrition and ecological decline
In our village, we know the value of what God has provided us. We have hukli bhaji and phinda, local vegetables gathered from our land, rich in nutrition. These foods help us combat malnutrition, just as the faaji of Kolar Mawa in the forests is nutritious. We take what we need from creation, never wasting unnecessarily, and we strive to preserve all our water, forests, and land. This way of living, connected to our natural abundance and traditional knowledge, is how we sustain ourselves and our community.
