Over the past four months, volunteering at AuroOrchard has been an incredible learning experience. As the founder of Sristi Foundation, where we use farming to empower children and youth with intellectual disabilities, acquiring proper farming skills is essential for me.
We recently hosted an insightful workshop with Bala, a passionate Avocado farmer from the picturesque hills of Kodaikanal. Participants were taken on an enlightening journey through the history of Avocados in India, exploring their diverse types and subspecies.
Bala shared his wealth of knowledge on the intricacies of Avocado farming, including expert tips on pruning techniques, strategies for cultivating high-density plantations, and the art of grafting for improved yields. Attendees left with a deeper understanding of sustainable practices and practical insights to enhance Avocado cultivation.
The session offered a rare blend of inspiration and practical expertise, enabling participants to take their Avocado-growing endeavours to the next level. For a closer look at the grafting technique, check out the videos here and here.
