| Summary: | The study was conducted at a time when the vegetables and fruits imported to Kerala were showing high
quantities of toxic pesticides which were detrimental to human health. As a part of producing cleaner, safer
vegetables and fruits many local food production communities had taken up organic cultivation. The study brings
out the aspirations and challenges of such collective farming units in achieving their target of increased production
of ‘safe to eat’ foods. The aspirations indicate the type of financial and technical support needed by these units.
Their challenges need immediate attention by the government and policy makers so that their problems get
solutions or better alternatives, which would lead to a greener and healthier agriculture scenario in Kerala. |
