From The Better India:
Two years ago, Ashok was introduced to Vinay Yadav, who had started a farmer-producer company called ‘Varda Farmers’ Club’ which allowed farmers who grew only organic produce.
“It was an eye-opener. We came to know about the hazards of chemical farming. They showed us two pots where they grew tomatoes. In one, they had added chemical fertilisers, and the other was nourished with cow dung and natural fertilisers. They then asked us which tomatoes we would prefer to eat; the answer was quite obvious,” shares Ashok.
