- Ever heard of agroforestry? It involves incorporating trees into agricultural systems and can help mitigate the effects of climate change by reducing soil erosion, sequestering carbon, and improving water quality. Terviva’s pongamia trees are a part of this positive change, helping to revitalize the land where it's grown.

👋 Fed up with climate doom?
We are too, so we’re building Pique Action, a new media company discovering stories on climate solutions.
We’re the opposite of doomscrolling.
🧪 What’s next, yet being developed right now to solve climate change?
That’s at the core of our first series, NextNow, profiling the innovative founders and the groundbreaking solutions to the climate crisis. In each episode, we identify a different climate challenge and how these innovative teams are working to solve them. From Bangalore to the Bay Area, we highlight the scientific breakthroughs and creative approaches that are being applied to solve climate change.

Wow this is just one large hooray for the company commercial
I have been planting Pongamia (Karanj) on the road dividers of my city, Cuttack here since last two months primarily because I want to keep my city green and also because cattle normally doesn't graze on Pongamia. The bigger challenge is getting the saplings. Central Nursery, Cuttack is the only source. Can you please help me understand this? "During which season can I get Pongamia seeds from its trees so that I can make my own saplings?"
A wonderful project. Very inervative and clever
so America has discovered Pongamia tree, what next? patenting the seeds and the oil as green oil? It Wass turmeric, neem , vetiver and now Pongamia? meanwhile we in India do not care about our own Pongamia with all those degraded and waste lands. And we want to be Vikshit Bharat in 2047.
India's map in this video is wrong . so you need to correct or remove
Nobody cares about India hahaa
@@PadreDProductions yeah… you believer of cult… you think we need you to care?… you probably would be working under an Indian… 😂
@@PadreDProductions Thats why whole west is begging to India become thier Allie 😂 when he they saw india-russia friendship😂.
@@meme_tunnel That's why every Indians dream is to leave India and move to America or Europe.. Indians don't even care about India.
@@meme_tunnelnobody is bringing up the west here but you
Is the oil from Pongamia a seed oil like sunflower and sesame oil, or is it a fruit oil like olive or avocado oil?
Fruit
Please note whatever you want to call it, it is not edible when harvested. You need to undertake a great deal of refining to make it edible! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pongamia
Are they freeze resistant
I thought the seeds of this plant are toxic and non edible. I have a couple of these trees on my land. The seeds usually have an unpleasant odor. I'm interested to know how you process these seeds and make it edible.

@@PiqueAction I am working with the Farmers on a technique of natural Agriculture. 🧑🌾 my farm is near Hisar Haryana and next to this is Rajasthan with very little water and less rainfall. We can grow the tree 🌲 It will be great if you will reply, and we can collaborate with my university. I am Environmental socialist.
🎉
Great efforts in propagating Pongamia in America! But as such this tree does not produce an edible seed nor the oil is edible. Indian farmers only used it as lamp oil or biodiesel, so converting pongamia oil into an edible form is not sustainable!
Background music is over powering, I don't hear the narrator.
There is nothing like climate change. People obey God and commands then earth would behave.
i didn't know, the seeds are edible. in India we throw this to garbage.☹.
we thought this is just only for shading tree.
The seeds are edible but they are extremely bitter. Terviva has engineered a process to take out the bitterness leaving a nutrient dense protein source.
I need funding for setting up a bio CNG plant in India capable of capturing 10time the carbon your tree's will do with 5x speed.
Why does this feel like a commercial for palm tree oil
Well there's nothing outright wrong with palm tree oil, just the method of which it's grown (i.e. clearing rainforest).
@@floob247 yeah
It is worse, palm oil is much more productive and naturaly edible... Panga are toxic and need to chemicaly treated to become "edible"... This is not only something we don't need but another unhealthy oil to enter our food industry... A bad idea carried on by stuborn people
The more CO2 in the atmosphere, the more drought tolerant all plants are. Basic biology. The planet is greening with more CO2. Basic biology. CO2 is plant food. Basic biology.
May I get n explanation plz. Coz I can't connect the dots.
Thank you
