“The ultimate Goal of Farming is not the Growing of crops, But the cultivation and perfection of Human Being”
Masanobu Fukouta
The advent of industrial Revaluation and development of industrial Farming / intensive farming associated with the former has led to the pollution of earth, water and Air.
The main reason for such pollution is due to excessive use of chemicals to increase line output. The idea was to feed the crops, compromising the Health of soil. This has lead to extinction of Microbes, insects and small animals in the Farm land.
We at Ayurveda Yoga Villa put forward the idea of Soil to Mind. “We believe we are what we Eat” Thus we grow cereals and vegetables for consumption. Our principle is to enrich the Soil. This enriched soil with Microbes, Insects and other vegetation in turn gives as yield which are good for Health and Mind, acting like Nectar.
This Agricultural Method has very less pollution and carbon foot print. Industrial farming also led to the extinction of indigenous seeds and live stock.
