Lumiere in fact originated with its farming activity which started in 2004 at Kanthalloore, Munnar. With the onslaught of Green Revolution, the fertility of our soil has been almost wiped out and we are left with an agriculture practice which gives us tons of toxic residues instead of much needed nutrients through our daily diet. Lumiere started thinking about the alternatives and realized that Organic agriculture is the only remedy for this.

Organic agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements).
