Principle of organic farming is to allow Mother Nature to provide us food the way nature intended. The soil is of central importance. Organic farmers nourish the soil and its micro universe of life forms rather than force feeding the plants to grow unnaturally fast. Because animal welfare matters in organic farming, animals are treated with care and respect.  There are no cages, animals move free, grazing on grass and other natural pastures.  Organics is about producing healthy food and fibre without the use of synthetic agri-chemicals, while ensuring animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

Organic Approach

Organic agriculture is an environment friendly ecological production system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles and biological activities. It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and management practices that restore maintain and enhance ecological balance. Organic Agriculture is much more than simply chemical free. Producing Organic is a commitment to a system which ensures that healthy, nutritious food can be produced year after year without environmental degradation. The primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people.

Organic in Practice

Organic food comes from organic farms utilizing the best of both traditional and modern techniques. Organic farming is a combination of techniques to build up soil fertility for sustainable production, mainly using local, natural resources and with least external inputs. Production and protection of crops mainly depend on indigenous wisdom combined with latest scientific techniques such as biocontrol and microbial fertilizers. In organic farming rather than using synthetic pesticides to kill pests, farmers prevent pests by planting a biodiverse range of crops, by rotations, and using natural, biological and environment friendly sprays. This means no artificial pesticides, no herbicides, no hormones and no growth promoters or food irradiation. Organics also prohibits the use of GMO's - or genetic engineering. Organic Standards clearly define the allowed and prohibited production and processing methods.

Why to go Organic?

Organic farming aims at reducing the costs of production and helps the farmers to get reasonable returns. Organic farming is today's answer not only to sustained productivity, but also to safe and nutritious food, which is increasingly demanded by conscious consumers within and outside India. Organic products also promise better prospects for Market and Trade. There is an ever growing export market for organic products, and also the domestic market in India is emerging. Products that are certified and sold as 'organic', can fetch a premium price compared with conventional products.
