00:00Living a life which is usually just aiming for a better future doesn't make sense to
00:13us.
00:14And the moment we start exploring something which is as basic as like, you know, our food,
00:19how does our food grow?
00:21Or where does it come from?
00:22And things like that, the first time we experienced it, we just realized that how illiterate we
00:27are with respect to that.
00:57Just to be in the lap of mother earth, somehow kind of connect with nature, which we are
01:25not able to in the middle of our cities and modern urban lifestyle, we are so highly disconnected.
01:30So that's really what kind of got us into farming.
01:37There is insecurity, which is that once you leave the job, then you will not be able to
01:41come back to it.
01:43And you're pretty young.
01:44So there is like whole life and all your career and everything ahead of you.
01:57It is an unconventional thing.
01:59But I think it's only when you actually venture out of your comfort zone, you get in the process
02:05of finding yourself more.
02:21Just to connect people back to food, connect people back to the land is one of the important
02:25parts of what this is.
02:27Our whole goal of Jivantika is really to promote natural living.
02:39This is where we source our food.
02:41This is a place we use as a kind of nature school of sorts.
02:47So this is where we kind of also help people educate themselves about food production,
02:53and regeneration and many other related things.
03:13Farming and living close to the land, living close to nature is really kind of what we
03:18are meant to do.
