ABOUT REVATHY:
Revathy has worked with more than 32,000 farmers in the organic movement in Tamil Nadu and her work has been recognized by the governments of India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Her hands-on knowledge in the importance of rejuvenating the soil using a holistic approach towards soil restoration, seed selection techniques, methods to create organic pest repellent and herbicides would help us understand and appreciate the intricacies involved in agricultural practices. She also has a lot of experience in disaster management and has spearheaded some of these efforts supported by AID during the Tsunami(Tamil Nadu), Cyclone Aila (West Bengal) and Kurnool (Andhra Pradesh) floods.
