Nutritional Security
How long has it been since you last visited your village and contributed to cultivation? Was it within the past month, year, or an even longer period?
Today’s nutrition facts often become tomorrow’s nutrition fallacies. We often believe that what our grandparents and parents tell us to eat is healthy. Yes, it is healthy, but does it actually impact us in the right way? This is the question that is on most of our minds.
Addressing Food Toxicity Challenges through Cultivating Your Food at Krushika:
In this era, the origin of our food is complex, as farmers are driven by the necessity of earning a livelihood. Consequently, they often cultivate crops with the use of pesticides and fertilizers, which slowly harms our health. The busy lives we lead make it challenging to engage in hands-on food cultivation, thus we, at Krushika, recognizing the need for transparency in food production offer a solution by cultivating your food for you.
Optimizing Wellness:
Owning our food and understanding the necessary production means are crucial. Many of us face major or minor health issues, prompting the search for specific foods for our well-being. Unfortunately, these may not always be available in the market, limiting our choices. Krushika aims to shift this narrative by urging you to “Grow and eat what your body needs, not what the market is feeding you.”
Seasonal & Suitable Delights: Embracing the Flavour of Eating Local
Sometimes, a few fruits and vegetables are not typically grown in the given climatic conditions. During such times, it’s advisable to eat what is available in the current season. For instance, mangoes are best enjoyed in the summer, while apples are ideal for the winter. The practice of eating with the changing seasons is something we have heard from our grandparents, as certain fruits and vegetables thrive in specific climatic conditions. Foods like broccoli or dragon fruit may be healthy and available throughout the year but transporting them long distances is environmentally unsustainable. Thus, consuming local produce not only supports the Indian economy but also aligns with our bodies’ suitability to the local environment.
Balancing Act: Navigating the Shift from Past Lifestyles to Thriving in a Sedentary World
Nowadays, our lifestyles often involve sitting for long hours, particularly in office and tech-related jobs. In the past, people engaged in physical work like farming under the sun, fetching water from the well, cow grazing and many more. The two work styles are completely different and affect our bodies and health in various ways. Today, many people balance desk jobs by hitting the gym, practicing yoga, or going for a jog.
Krushika offers you a chance to relax, retire, or reconnect with nature by staying at our properties or visiting our farm once a month to break the robotic lifestyle created nowadays.
The promoters of Krushika have also worked on the farm, and with their experience, we can say that it is something we can all enjoy once in a while at any of our properties.
