Foods in all forms can be tested in laboratories. But testing food for research is one thing, doing that in everyday life, quite another. It can be expensive and unrealistic. Organic certifications are offered by labs but they are for supply-chains taking food across wider distances. The most recommended means of ascertaining that your food is safe, is KYF – know your farmer. Consider to visit their farms. Supply-chains are equally important and it is desirable to build one-to-one relationship with your supplier of organic food. In addition to a connect with the farmer and the supply-chain, consumers should use their sensory perception.

Food in every form is the result of farming. Farming is in the grip of the doctrine of the Green Revolution which advocates cultivation of hybrid seeds that have far less nutritive values than the traditional. Hybrid crops are susceptible to infections that warrant use of chemical pesticides. The residues of these deadly chemicals reach our bodies affecting human health in many ways.

The awareness of safe food is vital to put a halt to this, and to ensure the building up of a healthy nation. Such a safe food will be raised from crops taken on local natural seeds, in their natural seasonal cycles without external chemical interventions to unnaturally engineer or boost yield.
