Many studies have shown that there is no such difference of taste in organic food and conventional food but the well-designed studies have researched and came to a conclusion like people favor the taste of organic food more, over conventional food. Because, the organic food has more antioxidants and other vitamins into it, which makes it tastier and better. And nowadays chefs do prefer to use organic food over conventional food not only for better taste but for better health benefits too.

Khuvi’s authenticity lies in the certifications. As we go through a rigorous process of getting our farms as well as our processing certified. Also, we are getting certified by well-known accredited certification bodies.

Khuvi has certified Organic farms, processing units for raw materials, powdering, herbal extractions oil processing, and steam sterilization, which all together enables Kalpvruuksha to deliver organic products with ultimate quality standards and purity.

Khuvi has certifications like NPOP, NOP, etc.

Growing

• Organic grown with natural fertilizers (manure, compost).
• Conventional grown with synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides etc.

Weeds

In Organic weeds are controlled naturally (crop rotation, hand weeding, mulching, and tilling).

In conventional weeds are controlled with chemical herbicides.

• Pets
• Organic, pests are controlled using natural methods (birds, insects, trap crops) and naturally-derived herbal pesticides
• Conventional, pests are controlled with synthetic pesticides

• Organic products are usually priced more compared to the conventional products due to the following reasons,
• Less chemical means more labor work.
• Cost of Bio fertilizer for organic farming.
• Crop Rotation.
• Post-harvest handling cost.
• Organic Certification.
• Organic food grows slowly.

• Organic foods refer to agricultural products that are grown and processed without the use of fertilizers, growth regulators, livestock feeds, pesticides, additives, bio-engineered genes (GMOs). Organic farming is controlled by regulations which differ from country to country. The main concept of organic farming is to grow food without the use of synthetic materials or genetically modified crops.
• According to these Organic standards, all the organic operations must demonstrate that they are protecting natural resources, conserving biodiversity, and using only approved substances.

• Organic food virtually eliminates the risk of chemical residues but this is not its main advantage over conventional products. Strict avoidance of all chemicals in all stages of production makes organic food much more environmentally friendly because the use of all natural production methods eliminates the risk of soil and underwater contamination, and helps preserve biodiversity and wildlife both of which have been seriously affected by the human actions, primarily urbanization and intensive agriculture.
• Organic farming also improves animal welfare because organic farms are required to keep their animals in certain environment and provide them access to sunlight and outdoors, for instance. In the end, organic food helps reduce the carbon dioxide emissions and fight the global climate change because it is mostly sold locally.

• In an ancient India, the whole agricultural system was being practiced using organic techniques, and it lasted for almost thousands of years. For which animal waste (e.g. composted dungs, urine etc.), composted plants waste and other wastages were being used as fertilizer.
• In mid 1970s, the organic farming movement in India started for the Industrialization of Agriculture. And before that all the traditional farming was known as Organic Farming due to less usage of pesticide and toxins. For an example, Forest Gardening, an organic food production system, counted as one of the world’s oldest organic farming and organic food producing system.
• At Khuvi, Organic Farming doesn’t mean it is a return to the older methods our ancestors had but it is something what we have learned over several millennia.

Organic farming is a production system which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetically compounded fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators, genetically modified organisms and livestock food additives. To the maximum extent possible organic farming system rely upon crop rotations, use of crop residues, animal manures, legumes, green manures, off farm organic wastes, biofertilizers, mechanical cultivation, mineral bearing rocks and aspects of biological control to maintain soil productivity and tilth to supply plant nutrients and to control insect, weeds and other pests.


Organic methods can increase farm productivity, repair decades of environmental damage and knit small farm families into more sustainable distribution networks leading to improved food security if they organize themselves in production, certification and marketing. During last few years an increasing number of farmers have shown lack of interest in farming and the people who used to cultivate are migrating to other areas. Organic farming is one way to promote either self-sufficiency or food security. Use of massive inputs of chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides poisons the land and water heavily. The after-effects of this are severe environmental consequences, including loss of topsoil, decrease in soil fertility, surface and ground water contamination and loss of genetic diversity.



Organic farming which is a holistic production management system that promotes and enhances agro-ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity is hence important. Many studies have shown that organic farming methods can produce even higher yields than conventional methods. Significant difference in soil health indicators such as nitrogen mineralization potential and microbial abundance and diversity, which were higher in the organic farms can also be seen.

• It helps to maintain environment health by reducing the level of pollution
• It reduces human and animal health hazards by reducing the level of residues in the product
• It helps in keeping agricultural production at a sustainable level
• It reduces the cost of agricultural production and also improves the soil health
• It ensures optimum utilization of natural resources for short-term benefit and helps in conserving them for future generation
• It not only saves energy for both animal and machine, but also reduces risk of crop failure
• It improves the soil physical properties such as granulation, good tilth, good aeration, easy root penetration and improves water-holding capacity and reduces erosion.
• It improves the soil’s chemical properties such as supply and retention of soil nutrients, reduces nutrient loss into water bodies and environment and promotes favourable chemical reactions.

• Farming methods that do not involve using any kind of chemical pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified seeds (GMOs), preservatives and additives, and are certified as such under the National Program for Organic Production (NPOP) or the Participatory Guarantee System for India (PGS-India).
• Organic food grown using organic farming practices is 100% natural and free of any kind of toxic chemical residues.
  Organic farming methods are a well-documented and well-proven alternative to industrial or chemical agriculture. When farmers grow crops organically, they use technologies based on ecological knowledge to increase yields, control pests
