Organic Farming
Stevia is a natural sweetener which provides almost double the amount of sweetness when compared to regular sugar. It has zero calories and no carb making suitable for weight loss. However, it gives a bitter aftertaste and might make some hot beverages taste bad. No doubt it is good for diabetics and weight loss, but it would be best to refer to its acceptable daily intake (ADI) by prescribed bodies. 3mg of stevia leaves per kilogram of body weight is normally recommended.
Siang Tea Industries Ltd from Arunachal Pradesh as a part of its ongoing effort to promote organic farming organised a workshop for farmers. Dr. Vandana Shiva, founder of Navdanya, a network for organic farming and biodiversity conservation encouraged, addressed the workshop and encouraged the farmers to switch to organic farming. Dr. Vandana believes that organic farming produces more nutritious food while maintaining the soil health.
