About the farmers

Inputs, fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides and insecticides are not part of the vocabulary of our spice producers. Living in close harmony with nature, they adapt to it, not the other way round. At Abhishek and Nachi, for example, their estates are like nature parks. When you walk around, you don't realise that it's their land, because everything is left in its natural state. Today, species are threatened with extinction in the next few years because of intensive, mechanised and homogenised agriculture. Thousands of hectares are sown with a single plant, destroying its immune defences and completely upsetting the balance with all the other living species. Yaksha spices grow in healthy, diverse ecosystems that are reminiscent of the beauty of wild, unspoilt nature.
