2. O rganic is a word with a plethora of meanings. We at ICI Pakistan see organic as a
philosophy, a system of production that mirrors the natural laws of living organisms
while maintaining the interdependency of all life forms. It is our recognition of the importance
of the interdependency of all life and our understanding of the value of sustainability which
have allowed us to bring to you an opportunity to grow fresh, high quality organic vegetables
from the comfort of your home.
A llow us to introduce to you, the ICI Organic Kitchen Gardening
Kit, a concept popular throughout the world, and has the power to
revolutionize gardening in Pakistan with its multitude of benefits. We
all know that making a commitment to eat healthy is a great start towards
maintaining a healthy lifestyle. But eating healthy does not necessarily mean
just eating the right amounts of food-- more attention needs to be paid to the
type of food we take in and where it comes from; do we know if our salad leaves
are really fresh? Have our vegetables been processed in a hygienic, healthy way?
We can never be sure of where our food comes from-- unless we see the process
before our own eyes.
B y choosing the organic way, not only will you be
able to make sure that your vegetables are grown in
a healthy, synthetic pesticide and fertilizer
free environment, but you

3. can also enjoy tending to your vegetables and watch them grow mature before your very own
eyes. Unlike ‘natural vegetables’ that are available in the market, ‘organic vegetables’ do not
carry traces of pesticides. And why should you be worried about these traces? Simply because
they are harmful for human health. Designed by intent to kill living organisms, persistent
pesticides can be harmful to wildlife and human health, especially as they contaminate our
food, air and water or accumulate in our cells. Not only is their use harmful for the human
body but it is also detrimental for the Earth’s natural eco-systems; synthetic fertilizers and
pesticides contribute to soil degradation and ocean dead zones.
O ur organic kit gives you an opportunity to not only reduce health risk by dismissing the
use of toxic pesticides to work in harmony with nature, but also produce food that tastes
better! By using our organic fertilizer you can nourish soils for your vegetables to create strong
healthy plants that taste great. Research shows that organically-produced foods are rich in
antioxidants and packed with more delicious nutrients than their conventional counterparts
—you can test your own organic carrots or vine-ripened tomatoes for a sweet and juicy flavored
treat anytime! Also our seeds are non-genetically engineered so your organic vegetables will
not only be healthier, tastier and more fulfilling but also follow a completely natural recipe for
growing.
E njoy fresh, organic vegetables and create a healthy lifestyle that’s just right for you. Eating
healthy starts with eating fresh! - KUNDAN - Finest seeds for organic vegetables.
