Tona Organic Training & Consultancy
Think Organic
Welcome to the biggest laboratory of Natural Farming
Tona Organic Farm has been listed by Food Tank as one of the 28 most Innovative Livestock Farmers in the world who are Shaping the Future.
Agriculture has been surviving and thriving since ancient times and has evolved ever since its inception. Some innovations helped in improving the nutrient content in the vegetation and maintaining soil health. But some other innovations like chemical-based farming methods degraded the soil health and its productivity in the long run while achieving the short-term benefit of productivity.
We, at Tona, are building the future of sustainable agriculture and food safety. We are committed to our people, partners and planet. A holistic food safety perspective can unlock opportunities of growth and help experiencing a healthier life.
