R Madhavan to write a book on organic farming

RMadhavan has developed an interest in organic farming a couple of years ago and now, his extensive research on the topic has been extremely rewarding. Madhavan has been researchin­g on this topic for the past three years and he has managed to grow some vegetables in his terrace garden at home.

A source says, “His garden at home boasts of a wide variety of vegetables and fruits like ladies finger, aubergine, broccoli, tomatoes and cucumber among others. Ever since he started growing his own vegetables at home, he has been insisting that everyone should at least try their hand with growing one vegetable. He developed this interest when he was working on a script that didn’t require him to get out of the house so he utilised the time to read up on this. Considerin­g Madhavan’s vast knowledge of and his in-depth analysis, he has been approached by a leading publicatio­n of organic agricultur­e to write a book on organic farming and share his views and first-hand experience­s thereby creating awareness among the common man.”

Talking about his passion, Madhavan says, “Try growing one vegetable to feed your family one meal in a week and you will understand the true worth of our farmers. Growing you own organic food is the way of the future.”
