citizens can look forward to an interesting and informative Safe Food Mela
create awareness about toxic chemical residues in food and urging consumers to
switch to safe organic alternatives, this mela is the combined effort of
several non-profit organizations, youngsters spearheading the organic foods
movement and organic enterprises. The Mela is expected to be attended by
personalities from the film world, musicians, writers and intellectuals.
The
Safe Food Mela is part of a nation-wide campaign called INDIA FOR SAFE FOOD
(http://indiaforsafefood.in), which seeks to promote chemical-free farming and
alternatives to toxic technologies like synthetic pesticides and Genetically
Modified foods. India continues to use
many pesticides that have been banned in other countries and many of these are
known to be carcinogenic, endocrine-disrupting or reproductive-toxicants. Many
studies including in the public sector laboratories, show our food, water and
soil, and even breast-milk are contaminated with pesticides.
The
Mela in Kodambakkam will have organic outlets from around the city setting up
their stalls with a variety of products (fresh greens, millets, traditional
rices, honey, snacks etc.), as also food-stalls selling tasty ready to eat
organic fare. Awareness material about
toxics in foods, traditional and safe foods, and urban gardening will also be
on display.
The
Safe Food Mela promises to offer fun for the entire family, and the opportunity
to change the way you consume food. After all, as the saying goes, You Are What
You Eat! Enjoy the joys of organic food, and join the India For Safe Food Movement.
You can endorse the cause by giving a missed call on 022-3301 0031 and log on

Yet although organic crops are grown without the use of chemicals, an organic certification does allow farmers to use animal waste, including blood meal and bone meal, to fertilize fields. Some organic farms purchase these animal by-products from slaughterhouses and other non-organic sources. The animals have been given antibiotics and hormones throughout their lives, and exposed to pesticides and other chemicals.
Veganic farms use only plant-based fertilizers, together with smart growing techniques such as alternating crops over time to build nutrients in the soil.
