What is Organix-South’s organic commitment?
We are committed to not only organic, but fair trade standards as well. To this extent, we have developed a partnership with Nisarga Biotech (nisarga means nature) in the organic Umbari Farm, located southeast of Mumbai in India. The farm itself has been certified organic through the internationally recognized ECOCERT® and we have committed to providing financial assistance to help nearby farmers convert to organic growing as well. The farm is surrounded by national forest areas that also have been certified organic for ethically wild-crafted herbs. To ensure that our herbs are fairly traded and sustainably harvested, we pay 10% over market value for our herbs, and support regular training initiatives for the harvesters.
