From Farm to Table: The Journey of Oterra's Organic Food Colors
The video also features an agronomist who follows crops, specifically organic red beets, from the choice of seeds, planting, and harvest. The harvest date is determined by pigment richness and color content. Oterra encourages farmers to sort the red beets to deliver a clean product, free of weeds and stones, to reduce the carbon footprint. Oterra takes care of its farmers and develops relationships with them. The company reduces its footprint by bringing vegetables from the closest possible destination, and Oterra agronomists train farmers to have a full understanding of organic regulations. Oterra's research focuses on varietal selection to obtain more productive and pigment-rich varieties, which is very important to achieve good yields. For the agronomist, organic farming is important, and they have always worked for the development of organic farming.
