Mumbai: Akshayakalpa Organic has launched its second episode of 'Good Food Talks'. This episode aims to educate consumers about the quality of food, its future, and the growing health consciousness in society.

In this episode, Organic Mandya founder Madhu Chandan discusses the transformation in farming practices. He highlights how traditional, self-sustaining agriculture, once focused on personal and local consumption, has given way to commercial monoculture farming driven by profit. This shift has deeply affected Indian farmers, with 90-92 per cent of them being marginal farmers earning minimal incomes from landholdings under three acres.

Madhu Chandan said, "Growing up, I saw how the rice my grandparents ate was far healthier than what we have today. This decline in food quality is due to poor soil health and modern farming practices. Embracing organic farming can restore soil health and bring back the nutritious food our ancestors enjoyed."

Akshayakalpa Organic co-founder and CEO, Shashi Kumar stated, "This episode talks about the deep relationship between the health of our farmers and the food we consume. Organic farming isn’t just about using no chemicals; it is a way of nourishing the soil, farmers, and the people. Through this podcast we want to empower consumers to question the source of their food through such conversations, further raising awareness around what they consume."

The episode focuses on the adverse effects of modern farming on soil health and food contamination. It advocates for organic farming as a way to restore nutrition, sustainability, and food quality.
