In this video, we talk about fencing, water source, and human resources! These are the 3 essential steps to take before you can start plantations or any other fieldwork at your farm. We show you how we have fenced Aanandaa, and talk you through the important steps in getting started with developing your farm. Fencing is important to secure your land from intruders, grazing animals, and wildlife. Without water, it is difficult to plant anything. So while we will be doing water management in future videos, it is important to have a water source that can help you get started. And finally, it takes a village to raise a farm - you will need more hands to help you with the work of earthworks, digging pits, planting trees etc.. This is an important video to help you get started. If you want to start a plantation in the next monsoon season, get started with these tips right away. . .
