Manisha Lath Gupta is an Indian permaculture practitioner, designer, and teacher who has spent the past decade building Aanandaa Permaculture Farm. After a long corporate career, she left to care for both nature and family, transforming a barren stretch of land into a thriving forest, planting 5,000 trees, building water-harvesting structures, and nursing the soil back to health. For Manisha, permaculture is not an alternative lifestyle but a way of life open to everyone, and through her trainings and courses she has inspired countless people to begin their own journeys with nature.
