IndiaOrganix & Gandhi's spice farmers

IndiaOrganix promotes and markets an umbrella of small-scale certified organic spice producers on the Indian subcontinent & South Asia. We only buy spices that are sourced from their plantations.
As well as promoting organic spice products in the UK and EU IndiaOrganix actively promotes sustainable farming, wild crafting and village/tribal agricultural communities in India.
In India as elsewhere, chemical fertilizers and pesticides have been aggressively promoted and heavily subsidized to keep the fertilizer companies afloat, without realizing the resulting devastation these chemical applications have wrought on the sustainability of agriculture.
Many of India’s spice farmers have lost much of their ancestral farming knowledge and ancient seed varieties since the introduction of chemical based commercial agriculture and hybrid seeds. In many areas of India and South Asia, valuable medicinal plants are becoming endangered because of indiscriminate commercial over-harvesting and other adverse collection practices that damage essential natural habitats.
Organic agriculture requires the elimination of commercial fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and other dangerous chemicals. This in turn affects the whole village community and creates a significantly healthier working and living environment for the spice farmers, their families and livestock, as well as the local wildlife.
Through organic agriculture, India’s spice farmers relearn healthy, sustainable farming practices advocated by Gandhi; and are regaining the wisdom of their agricultural heritage. Organic agriculture enriches India’s soil season by season. It increases the long-term yield, nutrient value and potency of herbs & spices. It allows for a naturally clean water supply, and provides overall richness, health and well-being of their families, livestock, farmlands and communities.
IndiaOrganix exists to promote the excellent produce of India’s organic farming communities.
