In the recent past, farmlands were converted into real-estate plots… Now, how can one re-utilize such plots for farming? Starting mid Dec 2017, I am starting a new project that would attempt to put to use one such plot that has not been utilized for little over a decade. The challenge on hand is this plot neither has fence nor water source. Ecological farming indeed!
