It is a widespread myth that organic products are very costly. Organic farming relies on manures and natural insect repellents for its produce. Thus, organic produce quantity per unit of farm is lesser than conventional produce grown using pesticides and fertilizers. Organic farming also demands more attention, knowledge, and efforts from the farmer’s side. Organic produce also needs meticulous attention during bulk storage. Thus, organic produce is a bit costly than the conventional produce. The number of middlemen in the chain from farmers to consumer further makes the organic products go out of budget for the common man. Eco Potli is meticulously establishing connections with farmers directly to bring benefit to farmers as well as consumers. We aim at making organic products affordable to everybody.

India ranks 8th in terms of World's Organic Agricultural land and 1st in terms of total number of producers as per 2020 data (Source: FIBL & IFOAM Year Book, 2020). The world is awakening to the importance of Organic Produce and India is catching up fast. Indian civilization has roots to sustainability since ancient times. Our scriptures are proof of how our forefathers understood the importance or the symbiotic association and inter-dependability of all life on Earth. It is time we reiterate the values and lifestyle our forefathers followed. There has been an upsurge in the demand for organic fruits, vegetables, and grocery in the past few years due to the awareness among customers about their health benefits. People are becoming increasingly aware about the harmful effects of using synthetic and commercial fertilizers and pesticides in the farming process. This demand for organic food has compelled farmers worldwide to shift to organic farming practices. Organic Farming is not only helping farmers to achieve a better harvest but also helps in restoring the soil richness. Extensive research in this area has given a boost to this industry. Eco Potli aims at providing the means to procure good quality organic products. Going organic can be your small contribution towards our sustainable planet.

All life processes on Earth are inter-dependent. Humans have played a major role in disturbing this delicate balance. Our greediness knows no bounds and we have over exploited our oceans, our forests, our atmosphere to the extent that other living species are going extinct at a rapid rate. This attitude and our choices have come back to bite us. We are facing the heat of our short-sighted actions in the past few decades. It is high time we pause, reflect, and act accordingly. Our wise choices will not only benefit the environment but also our own health and well-being. Let’s take care of Mother Nature and she will reciprocate accordingly.

For a long time we have known that “Health is Wealth”, but we have been saving money by acting miserly in the wrong places. It is a sad reality that the three pillars of good life – healthy and nutritious food, regular exercise, and quality sleep; have been side-lined and other things have taken their place. It is time we recheck our priorities. If we are able to prioritise these three things, all other things will fall into place sooner or later. Invest in your health now, make better food choices, and live a better quality life! Go behind saving the Pounds, instead or running behind the pennies!

If we chose to follow the same self-destructive path, humans will be responsible for their own extinction one day. Let’s pause, take a step back, try to find wisdom in the actions of the past generations, research, find alternative paths, and build a better future for us and for our kids. Every little action counts. Let us start from ourselves. Let’s learn about our impact on our environment and pledge to make a direct or indirect contribution. Our choices will ingrain these values in our children. Let’s not make them struggle for basic necessities due to our reckless behaviour. Let’s start our journey towards a sustainable planet!

We know it can be hard juggling between different responsibilities like work, home, kids, household chores… We want to make your life a tad bit easier by ensuring fresh organic quality products reach you at your doorstep! If you have decided to make better food choices, we are there to cater to your needs. What’s more? We will also bring you cut vegetables and fruits so that you can save some time for your favourite book, or nurture the hobby you have been putting on hold due to lack of time, or simply spend time with your loved ones! We are planning a special service for elderly people who find it difficult to adapt to the online world.Let us work together to build a better future! Happy healthy and sustainable life to all of us!
