The Landing Together team interacted with Paudi Bhuyan in Sundergarh District of Odisha. This particular community had been displaced from the forests in Keonjhar due to mining operations.
The Paudi Bhuyan peoples continue to practice their traditional practices of food gathering from the common land, water and forest.
Their traditional systems of knowledge allow them to forage food from a wide variety of wild sources – insects, non-endangered small birds, snails, fish, bamboo, etc. In addition, they also improvise techniques of preservation and crafting. In Sundergarh, they practice 'Podu’ cultivation – an ecologically sustainable form of shifting cultivation without the use of any agricultural tools or chemicals.
