Lifestyle is everything we choose to be or have. It is about the people we surround ourselves with, our ideas about the world, the food we choose to eat and how we decide to spend our money. Lifestyle is important because it is about us and our lives.
It is important to acknowledge we all aim at a balanced and rewarding lifestyle. Whatever our system of beliefs is, we are always looking for harmony in our relationship with people and the world around us, for health and for a better future for ourselves and the people to come. For this reason we at Depu are choosing sustainability, every day!
Organic farming can be a way to promote sustainability in many ways. Soils under organic practices tend to be more healthy and richer in beneficial bacteria. By discouraging monoculture, organic farming increases biodiversity on farm both by producing a more diversified harvest and by supporting wildlife thus creating a more stable environment. Organic farming also prevents soil erosion through practices such as no-tillage and cover cropping. Biodynamic agriculture, on the other hand, sees the farm as an “living organism” that produces its own fertility and health, therefore excluding external inputs from the production cycle. Fertilisers and pesticides are therefore not allowed in biodynamic farming.
We also are advocate of offsetting our carbon footprints in different ways, including when we take a flight or when we buy products which have a clean energy policy. We believe that caring about our footprint is a way to decrease pressure on resources and release opportunities that are more sustainable.
In China, there are numerous ways to find organic products. We complement the offer with our selection of organic, biodynamic and eco-friendly products.
