Description

Over the summer, the Kodaikanal International School in Tamil Nadu, India hosted eight GPH students for an internship. The goal of their two-week long project was to understand the farming practices used in the region; to evaluate the behaviors and attitudes of the farmers toward these practices, and to assess the impact of chemical farming on the farmers. The GPH students conducted field interviews with them on five different farms in Kodaikanal: Kumbaraiyur, Pallangi, Pannaikadu, Pethuparai and Poombarai.
