ARANYA AGRICULTURAL ALTERNATIVES is an environmental and developmental organization providing permaculture guidance to communities, organizations, governments and other national and international agencies and creating sustainable livelihoods since 1999.
‘Aranya’ is the Sanskrit word for forest. The forest is a self-regulating ecosystem, with the ability to sustain itself in the present and in the future. It is the source of the guiding principles of agriculture. Thus the name Aranya Agricultural Alternatives, to encapsulate a regenerative nature tradition.
