Students are taught weeding, digging, planting, watering
Every week two or three teams of curious schoolchildren turn up at Deesan Farms, in Chittoor taluk of Palakkad district, to learn about farming. They get their hands dirty too. They dig, weed, plant, water and apply mulch. They visit the dairy farm and study the value-added unit which makes 22 products for sale.
In the past five years 5,000 students from 50 schools have come to Deesan Farms for a holistic understanding of the food cycle.
