As there is increase in the covid-19 cases all over the world, the most crucial home remedy we as a common man can do is to look after our immune system. Daily there are hundreds of messages pooping up on social media what to do and what not to build up a strong immune system like, consume these vegetables, drink kadha, perform a yoga and many more…But when we are about to cook or prepare something we end up asking question to ourselves; Is the food that we are consuming today is healthy for us? Has the food gone through a lot of procedures before coming into our plate? And if they are gone through a lot of procedure is it appropriate to consume? And n number of questions comes to our minds.
To come through this we can make a small initiative to farm on our own without using any pesticides or chemicals which is known as organic farming “Organic farming is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved”.
