Amid concerns over high pesticide residues in vegetables arriving from outside the state, Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has stressed the need for attaining self-sufficiency in food products and promoting organic farming.
Inaugurating state-level workshop on ‘Safe Food Our Right’ and media seminar in Thiruvananthapuram, he said self-sufficiency in food production should not just be conveyed through words but should be proved through efficient activities. “We should strive forward to attain self sufficiency in all the foods that we consume. For this, activities through Grama Sabhas are necessary,” he added.
