DESC:FIELD
The present disclosure relates to a process for the preparation of organic products.
DEFINITION
As used in the present disclosure, the following term is generally intended to have the meaning as set forth below, except to the extent that the context in which it is used indicate otherwise.
Organic product: The term “Organic product” refers to a mixture that is obtained from five ingredients originating from cows. The three direct ingredients are cow dung, urine, and milk and the two derived products are curd and ghee.
BACKGROUND
The background information herein below relates to the present disclosure but is not necessarily prior art.
Organic farming is an integrated farming system that strives for sustainability with an enhancement of soil fertility. It helps to prohibit synthetic pesticides, antibiotics, synthetic fertilizers, genetically modified food, and growth hormones which have been proven to be hazardous and toxic to humans, animals, and the ecosystem.
Synthetic pesticides can cause short-term adverse health effects, as well as chronic adverse effects that can occur months or years after exposure. Examples of acute health effects include stinging eyes, rashes, blisters, blindness, nausea, dizziness, and diarrhea.
Nitrogen and phosphate based synthetic fertilizers leach into groundwater causing water pollution and increase the toxicity. Fertilizers that leach into water bodies disrupt the aquatic ecosystem. Further, synthetic fertilizers increase the nitrate levels of soil affecting the soil quality.
Further, genetically modified food can cause adverse effects on human health such as toxicity and allergy.
Therefore, there is felt a need to develop an organic product that overcomes the above mentioned limitations.
OBJECTS
Some of the objects of the present disclosure, which at least one embodiment herein satisfies, are as follows.
It is an object of the present disclosure to ameliorate one or more problems of the prior art or to at least provide a useful alternative.
