Farmacology

The document is intended to identify farmacology as a practice and philosophy in Kerala. Farmacology is a concept that seeks to discover the traditional farming practices and indigenous crop varieties and to combine their healing power via food combinations, hands on soil practices and transfer of knowledge across generations. Here the interconnectedness within the system is highlighted as a protective health factor. The story of the award-winning farmer who is a cancer survivor in Navayikulam Panchayath of Thiruvananthapuram district is an edifying instance of linkage between food, farm, environment and health.
