                        Organic Farming 
                        With a growing demand for unadulterated food, organic methods of cultivation are
                        fast gaining attention. People around the world have today turned to Ayurveda and
                        hence a demand for contamination free spices is on the increase. Organic cultivation
                        using natural fertilizers is fast gaining momentum and is expected to reach far
                        heights in the years to come. 
                        With the objectives of building a greener and healthier world, Peerumedu Development
                        Society (PDS) has always been striving to strike a total balance of the eco- system.
                        It advocates the use of natural fertilizers, bio-control agents and recyclable biological
                        products to attain a self-sustainable eco-system. As a part of this programme, PDS
                        employs the use of organic manures, cultivation of legumes, intercropping, vermiculture
                        and improved biodiversity for crop protection. |
