Sahithi Nallamilli

My journey began with an Introduction to Permaculture course, which made me reflect on how disconnected we’ve become from food. It struck me how food has turned into a commodity rather than being seen as life itself. While working with Aranya, an NGO supporting marginalized women farmers, I witnessed the empowerment that comes from growing food. Since then, I’ve been on a path to reconnect with food—by growing some of what my family eats.

Through the TFN fellowship, I hope to facilitate moments where children can discover that nature isn’t distant—it’s in every tiny thing around them.
