MVOAI: Why Maharishi Vedic Organic?

Why Maharishi Vedic Organic?

Worldwide, there is a growing recognition of the need for a new paradigm in agriculture. Today's agricultural technologies have burdened the environment and threatened our lives with harmful chemical fertilizers, non-degradable pesticides and herbicides, and genetically modified organisms. The former have destroyed the life of the soil, causing wide spread erosion and sterility, while the latter have upset thousands of years of perfect evolution in accord with all the laws of nature and disrupted farming traditions in every country.

The production and sale of agricultural products has become focused on convenience, mass production, packaging, and marketing, with the result that fruits and vegetables are harvested long before they are ripe and have developed their full nutritive value. Unripe foods are then chemically or unnaturally ripened at the convenience of the market.

Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture seeks to solve today's agricultural crisis by extending the laudable practices of organic farming to encompass the full range of life, where the quality of consciousness of the farmer and his subtle relationship to his crops and the environment are taken into account. Life is holistic. The full range of life must be taken into account in every activity.

This recognition of the deeper and more comprehensive principles that must be introduced into agriculture will ensure that our food supply is reliable, sustainable, and of the highest quality. These new principles will produce the best quality food while maintaining a high quality of life for the farmer.
