Why don’t we introduce organic food instead of polished food for all of us here since we have got the knowledge of Ayurveda?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Do you know that all the food grown here at the ashram is organic? All the vegetables and the milk is organic; ghee is organic. Sometimes when we don’t get enough organic supplies, then we have to go for the regular one.

We need to educate the farmer to go all out into organic. There is a big disconnect between the growers and consumers.
I have heard many farmers say that they grow organic food but there are no takers, and I have heard many people say that they are not getting organic food.
We have already begun making the connect here between the farmers and the consumers.
