AuroOrchard has just completed the certification process of the Certified Humane International (CHI) program.
We have been working on this certification for the last 6 months, and our poultry has gone through significant improvements with support from a wonderful pool of resource people who deeply care about ethics of animal care in agriculture. This certification is quite stringent with a great deal of paperwork, in-person inspection and annual audits. The CHI standards are quite extensive and detailed and have given us a strong foundation and reference to build on. You can read more about CHI standards here.
This process has also helped us know more about the conversation on ethical poultry farming in the world, and how different farmers around the world are practicing this in their own ways based on their context and resources.
While the certificate in itself is not a big achievement, it affirms our commitment to an unending pursuit of growing the highest quality food for Auroville.
Our sincere gratitude to our wonderful community for their support and encouragement in doing this work.
