We at Otito believe humans should form harmonic relationships with the natural environment. By doing so, Earth’s natural resources and ecosystems shall be preserved, thereby sustaining and meeting the needs of future generations. Let’s start with understanding the term ‘Sustainable food’. According to Nestle “Sustainable Food refers to food that is built on principles that further the ecological, social and economic values of a community as a whole.” A new wave of food producers have taken revolutionary steps in the way they source, create and package their foods. There is growing consciousness about where raw materials are sourced from (if not grown themselves), using processes where nutrition value is maintained and packaging the product. Brands are doing their best to provide healthy options while looking after the planet too. Otito is a movement to organize these brands that produce in small batches, maintain nutritional value and quality and also bring convenience to our lives while not compromising on our health.
