‘Below sea level farming’ a gift to Kerala’s agriculture

IndiaTimes Thursday, 28 September 2023
MS Swaminathan, a scientist known for his work in agricultural practices, was highly respected in the Kuttanad region of Kerala. He devised a package to protect and restore the farming ecology in the area, which earned global recognition. However, the implementation of the package fell short, disappointing the farmers. Swaminathan's efforts led to Kuttanad's wetland agriculture system receiving the Food and Agriculture Organisation's Global Agricultural Heritage System status.
