Chandrahas Dessai, managing director, Goa State Horticulture Corporation Ltd will speak about the author, who is the former agriculture director of Goa. “I firmly believe that anyone can garden regardless of age, background or prior experience. Gardening is not just about techniques – it’s about observation, patience, care and joy. Every plant you grow is a living expression of your love for nature. Plant your first seed, improvise your garden or spend some time with nature, my purpose is fulfilled. My mission is to make agriculture and gardening simple, practical and rewarding for everyone,” stated Nevil Alphonso while speaking to The Goan. The former agriculture director, who holds a BSc in Agriculture, has blended science-backed tips with his 37-years of hands-on field experience, suggesting sustainable, chemical-free practices to grow safe, fresh produce at home, also because he comes from a farming family. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ Frederick Noronha फ्रेडरिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا _/ AUDIO https://archive.org/details/@fredericknoronha _/ http://goa1556.in +91-9822122436 784 Saligao Goa _/ Goanet :: 30 years of discussions.
