Organised and sponsored by the Union Ministry of Women & Child Development, the ‘Women of India Festival-2016’ is a move to benefit women entrepreneurs, and also actively promote organic food and products.
The Women of India Festival is intended to highlight the health and environmental advantages of organic goods, provide a platform for women engaged in this economy and encourage the development of sustainable and easily accessible sales outlets for organic producers from remote areas.
Explaining the significance of the festival, Maneka Gandhi highlighted the importance of making a shift to organic, “Organic foods have been proven to contain more vitamins, minerals and nutrients than similar foods produced with chemical fertilizers, pesticides and preservatives,” she said.
