Veteran actor-filmmaker\u00a0Sreenivasan, known for his love of agriculture, has applauded Israel\u2019s farming methods, even as he voiced reservations about the country\u2019s military policies<\/a>. The actor shared his thoughts during an event hosted by socio-cultural forum Kerala Darshanavedhi, which honoured him for his dedication to paddy cultivation in Kandanad, Ernakulam.<\/p>\n Why Israel\u2019s agriculture impressed him<\/p>\n Sreenivasan described Israel\u2019s agricultural model as \u201ccommendable\u201d and expressed a keen interest in visiting the country to learn first-hand. \u201cTo understand the changes Israel has brought in farming, it is essential to go there. A team from Kandanad should attempt to visit Israel, and I will be part of that group,\u201d he told the media.<\/p>\n From two acres to 80: A farming journey in Kandanad<\/p>\n The actor began cultivating land in Kandanad five years ago, starting with just two acres.
