Why does organic farming test patience and conscience the most?
Chutian Gold News report. Gold News (reporter Deng Li) Getting close to nature, eating organic food, slowing down the pace of life…… Last week, more than 20 “Slow Tribe” members from all over the country jointly advocated “organic living” in Wuhan. Hu Shan, founder of “One Day of Organic Living,” also took part in this event. For 16 years she has been promoting organic living, hoping to help more people become healthy and to help the Earth become healthy too.
It is understood that the “Slow Tribe” was founded by Wuhan white-collar couple Ding Yong and Xiao Min. To date, over a thousand families have joined this organization, and their philosophy has influenced tens of thousands of people. “Slow Tribe” chief Ding Yong is a seasoned entrepreneur. Previously, he founded Wuhan's earliest internet startup cafe and initiated Wuhan's earliest salons related to the internet, gaining some renown in Wuhan's internet startup circle. But he believes that at that time he was living the “life of an IT migrant worker.” Today, Ding Yong has a deeper understanding of life and of happiness.
In the process of searching everywhere for “good food,” Ding Yong and Xiao Min discovered that, compared with hard indicators such as soil and water sources, the assessment of a person's character may seem vague, yet it is the most reliable. They gradually came to know some trustworthy farmers and began buying from them long term.
Relatives and friends all envied the couple's organic life and asked them one after another where they could find so much organic food. They suddenly thought, why not start an organization? Let everyone gather together, help one another, communicate with one another, discuss the various problems families face, and search together for solutions.
As soon as this idea came up, both of them were very excited. On June 1, 2013, Wuhan's “Slow Tribe” was officially established.
On the day of the event, several enterprises in Wuhan that had entered the organic farming field relatively early all came to the “market.” Among them, the person in charge of “Pozhongpo” introduced that organic farming requires relatively large investment, and products on the market vary greatly in quality. Starting a business in this field cannot make quick money; rather, it takes patience and conscience to hold the market.
In fact, as Hubei Province's largest organic vegetable planting farm, Pozhongpo has a 2000-mu planting park in Xianning, but the road of organic farming has not been easy to walk. The person in charge said that organic farming advocates natural farming methods and natural cultivation. In order to open up the market, Pozhongpo also opened an experiential restaurant that does not aim for profit, hoping in this way to increase Wuhan people's attention to organic vegetables. “When more people understand organic farming, the spring of the market will not be far away.”
