Sustainable holistic development through organic agriculture
ORGANIC INDIA has set up a business modality, which provides thousands of farmers, tribal wild crafters, landless workers and their extended families with jobs and ongoing sustainable income. Whole communities and villages of farmers and tribal wild crafters have joined together in the ORGANIC INDIA movement. As these people themselves share with their neighboring communities the benefits of Organic Farming, more and more villages and tribal communities are requesting to join.
Through the ORGANIC INDIA revolution, thousands of acres of land have been converted and thousands more are being converted from chemically abused agriculture to sustainable organic agriculture. The elimination of commercial fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and other dangerous chemicals from the community creates a healthier working and living environment for the farmers, their families and livestock, as well as the local wildlife. Through ORGANIC INDIA, hundreds of thousands of acres of forests have been certified organic and ORGANIC INDIA has been given exclusive rights to maintain, harvest and replenish the vast array of natural crops, herbs and fruits that grow in these national forests.
We educate and give ongoing training and support to marginal farmers; that is, farmers with small land holdings, (mostly 1 acre to 5 acres). We also hire and train landless workers (men and women) to be part of our team in preparing herbs and crops for further processing, such as collecting Tulsi plants from our fields and carefully removing leaves from stems, collecting and sorting grain, etc.
ORGANIC INDIA 's commitment to total quality begins right at the source, with training farmers and tribal wild crafters in sustainable organic and biodynamic farming and environment friendly procurement methods which:
- Enrich the quality of the soil.
- Increase the quality and yield of their crops.
- Do not pollute the water supply.
- Protect the biodiversity of the earth.
- Honor and respect the natural balance of plant and animal life in the fields and forests.
- Create a sustainable lifestyle for generations to come.
