A deep sense of compassion towards all creations of nature, all life forms and sense of oneness with nature on one-side and witnessing destruction of nature very much in front of our eyes on other side has moved to do some thing. Building a holistic view to environment, which should include food, agriculture, heritage, nature and culture, understanding their interlinking and making people to understand the same. KVM has a vibrant network of Organic Farmers practicing Organic Farming and undertaking participatory On-Farm research covering all agro-climatic areas of Punjab in almost all crops. KVM was the first organization to publish Manuals for different crops in Organic Farming. KVM also brought regular publications for different issues of Organic Farming, Environmental Health, Ecology, Water Conservation and traditional knowledge system. Our Vision is to make Chandigarh ‘City Beautiful’ to be the first ‘City of Organic Kitchen Gardens’ in India. To create a platform for the city, which is full of citizens who are aware of their rights for poison free food and have their attentive approach towards it. Today more and more people are getting health conscious and awareness is spreading very fast. Say ‘NO’ to what do we eat ‘TODAY’? With growing desires and our demand for non-seasonal fruits and vegetables, excitement for international produce, chemicals have majorly poisoned our food. Food is a perishable product and to make it last it gets treated. Majorly these treatments are pesticides, chemicals, chemical colors, artificial growth promoters that are all nothing but plain ‘POISON’. Otherwise how will you get California apples or eat spinach in summers? Know your Right First… Right to ‘POISON FREE FOOD’ Know your food first… Know your soil first… Know your climate first! These chemicals, artificial growth promoters, chemical colors and pesticides are known to cause a variety of human health impacts in the long term, in addition to acute poisoning effects. These are effects that occur months or years after exposure and are also induced by repeated occupational exposure to low concentrations of pesticides. Chronic effects can occur even if there are no acute effects. Facts: Did you know? The dangerous chemicals, which are banned on international levels by ‘WHO’ are being used as pesticides in ‘India’! Did you know? Today even a ‘fetus’ contains pesticide (commonly used DDT) in mother’s womb! Did you know? You are slow poisoning yourself and your family! Did you know? Most of our health problems and chronic diseases are related to our food and our lifestyle! Take Control! Take Responsibility! Enjoy Nature’s Gift!
