Foreword
The Asian Agri-History Foundation (AAHF), a non-profit trust, was established and registered in 1994 in Secunderabad, India to facilitate dissemination of information on agricultural heritage in order to promote research on sustainable agriculture in South and Southeast Asian regions. These regions provided food security to its population for several millennia with occasional famines in limited pockets due to drought. Farmers here had evolved some of the most sustainable agricultural management techniques suitable for different agroecoregions. There is a great deal to be learned from the traditional wisdom and the indigenous, time-tested technologies that sustained the farmers of South and Southeast Asia in the past. One of the major objectives of ASHF is to disseminate information on ancient and medieval agriculture by translating old texts/manuscripts into English and published these translations with commentaries on the scientific content of the texts. The aim of these commentaries of the experts is to stimulate research to validate old practices.
The Asian Agri-History Foundation has so far published six bulletins: Vrikshayurveda (The Science of Plant Life) by Surapala (c. 1000 AD), Kishi-Parashara (Agriculture by Parashara) (c. 400 BC), Nuskha Dar Fanni-Falahat (The Art of Agriculture), a Persian manuscript by Dara Shikoh (c. 1650 AD), Kashyapiyakrishisukti (A Treatise on Agriculture) by Kashyapa (c. 800 AD), Vishvavallabha (Dear to the World: The Science of Plant Life) by Chakrapani Mishra (c. 1577 AD), and Lokopakara (For the Benefit of People) by Chavundaraya (1025 AD). This present bulletin has the translation of a Malayalam manuscript edited by Vidwan C Govinda Wariar. This edited manuscript was obtained from Adyar Library,
