In recent times, farming has changed a lot, and in a good way, but there is still room for improvement.
Consumers are now understanding the importance of what’s called “residue-free farming” and “organic farming.” practices. It is an all-round boon, especially when we think about how it leads to a healthy lifestyle. Let’s take a closer look at this residue-free way of farming and why it’s better than the prevailing conventional practices.
As a fitting example on the subject with respect to our products at Vena Veggie Farms, let’s talk about turmeric. It’s a spice known for its health benefits, but how it’s grown can make a big difference. In traditional farming, farmers often use a lot of chemicals to grow turmeric faster and bigger. Specifically, conventional turmeric farming involves the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers to control pests, weeds, and boost crop growth. These chemicals may leave residues on the turmeric rhizomes, posing health risks to consumers and harming the environment. The chemicals stick around in the soil and water, making the turmeric we eat not so good for us. It’s been linked to health issues like breathing problems, brain troubles, and even cancer.
Residue-free turmeric farming, as practiced at Vena Veggie farms avoids the use of synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Instead, it relies on organic farming practices, such as integrated pest management (IPM), organic fertilizers, and natural pest control methods to maintain plant health and productivity. This results in turmeric free from harmful chemical residues, making it safer for consumption and better for environmental health.
