Answer 1

Tehri

Explanation:

The Beej Bachao Andolan was founded in Tehri, Uttarakhand, to preserve indigenous seed types and promote organic farming as an alternative to the Green Revolution’s chemical-intensive tactics. Vijay Jardhari led the initiative, which resurrected indigenous biodiversity and the “Baranaja” system to promote agricultural self-sufficiency and soil health.
