Samir Bordoloi

A graduate in agricultural studies, farmer Samir Bordoloi builds networks of young Indigenous food advocates and agripreneurs across India’s North East Region to galvanize the local food economy in sustainable ways. Youth and farmers take part in a deep, reflexive leadership program that brings them into an intergenerational network of “Green Commandos” — creating a knowledge economy around ecological farming and restoring pride, confidence, and conviction in indigenous crops and the slow, natural, and joyful way of life.

Samir has trained 2,000 Green Commandos and is now expanding his alliances to include “Green Juniors,” a network of young changemakers from rural schools across Assam.
