Many passionate farmers are giving back to the society by sharing their knowledge and experience on growing food in an eco-friendly manner. This is how knowledge got passed from generation to generation, traditionally. But, present day farmers are moving a step ahead by integrating the modern technology and social media, thereby reaching and educating a large number of people interested in farming. Mr. Ayyub is one such passionate and innovative farm teacher.

In the current face of climate change and food security, a holistic approach is needed to address the various issues in agriculture. Conventional teaching systems do not go much into the practical aspects of agro ecology. Even today, we are very far from including such concepts in our education system though some potential steps are being taken in including topics like nutrition gardens, farmer schools etc., in the curriculum of certain private schools to familiarize young minds on farming.

Some passionate individuals have taken up the responsibility of educating people based on their practical field level experiences. One such farmer is Mr. Ayyub Thottoli from Mananthvady in Wayanad, Kerala who has been keen to share his experiences with the community. Mr. Ayyub conducts classes for farmers, students, women and outsiders on how to make agriculture profitable, organic cultivation, various farming techniques and much more at his farm. Mr. Ayyub is now a well known figure among farmers, students and general public who are interested in learning agriculture as a whole.
