He tells us how Agroforestry can increase the green cover, as well as help, provide a parallel income for the farmers. He addresses the relationship between agriculture and carbon emissions and adds how re- generative agroforestry is the best way to fight back global warming economically.
Kapil Sharma is the founder of SayTrees, the fastest growing community of nature-loving people with the mission- “Each one must plant one tree in a year”. Currently, SayTrees is planting lakhs of saplings every year. Together with his team, he has also worked on solar, waste, rejuvenating lakes, ponds, etc, and has created many urban forests in every major city in India. Kapil Sharma is a software professional who hails from Chhattisgarh. He moved to Bengaluru in 2001 and fell in love with the beautiful greenery in the city and years later he started noticing huge trees being brought down and was shocked at the rate the city’s green cover was vanishing. Deeply affected by this, he decided not to stay silent and as a conscientious citizen, he soon started planting trees across the city and as his journey proceeded, he met many nature lovers who helped him in starting his NGO SayTrees. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
