Review for The Vetiver Network International, San Antonio, TX, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I had the first oppurtunity to attend the international workshop on vetiver at Ernakulam, India in 2007 and learnt the work done by various associates of this group in different countries in protecting the environment from degradation due to floods, rain,discharge of hazards chemicals on land and rivers.The group has used the miracle plant VETIVER WITH COST EFFECTIVE ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY (Which is very rare) to solve problems of soil erosion and degradation.I would appreciate the work done in Thailand as specific example.I wish the organisation to grow in leaps and bounds all over world in solving the problems of climate change.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Understanding the use of VETIVER for solution to land(soil) slope stabilisation problems

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

want decentralised working in India with farm nursery,where the plants can be grown and make it availiable to people at reasonable cost.
