ORGANIC FARMING IN PRACTICE
What is Organic Farming ? It is a mode of farming where the production of crops is done without using any synthetic chemicals, recycled inorganic fertilizers, other harmful substances such as pesticides, insect repellents, etc.
Advantages of Organic Farming Economical: In organic farming, no expensive fertilizers, pesticides are required for the plantation of crops. Good return on Investment: With the usage of cheaper and local inputs, a farmer can make a good return on investment. High demand: There is a huge demand for organic products in India and across the globe, which generates more income through export.
Advantages of Organic Farming Nutritional: As compared to chemical and fertiliser-utilised products, organic products are more nutritional, tasty, and good for health. Environment-friendly: The farming of organic products is free of chemicals and fertilisers , so it does not harm the environment
Objectives of Organic Farming To produce food of high nutritional quality in sufficient quantity To maintain and increase long term fertility of soil. To use, as far as possible, the renewable resources to work as much as possible, within a closed system, with regard to organic matter and nutrient elements.
Objectives of Organic Farming To give all livestock, conditions of life that allow them to perform all aspects of their innate behaviour. To avoid all forms of pollution that may result from agricultural techniques. To maintain the genetic diversity of agricultural system and its surroundings, including the plants and wild life habitats. To allow agricultural producers an adequate returns and satisfaction from their work including safe drinking water.
Scope of Organic farming Local demand for organic food is growing. India is poised for faster growth with growing domestic market . India has traditionally been a country of organic Agriculture and now with increasing awareness about the safety and the quality of the food, long-term sustainability of the system, accumulating evidences of being equally productive , the organic farming has emerged as an alternative system of the farming which may not only address of quality in sustainability concerns, but also ensures a debt free, profitable livelihood option.
Scope of Organic farming India has emerged as a single largest country with highest arable cultivated land under organic management. India has achieved the status of single largest country in terms of total area and certified organic of wild harvest From the point of economic status of the country, organic farming definitely plays a vital role in increasing it. This is because, there is no need for the use of imported synthetics for production & this initiates the use of local resources .
DATA ANALYSIS Share of net area under organic farming in India
DATA ANALYSIS State-wise major crops grown under organic farming in India:-
Observations & Interceptions:- Organic farming typically avoids the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs ). Organic farming often involves practices such as crop rotation, cover cropping, and the use of compost and manure to improve soil health and fertility . Organic farming can have benefits for the environment, such as reducing soil erosion, improving water quality, and promoting biodiversity . Organic farming can also have benefits for human health, as organic foods may have lower levels of pesticide residues and higher levels of certain nutrients . Organic farming can be more labor-intensive and may have lower yields than conventional farming methods . Organic farming can also be more expensive, as the cost of organic inputs and certification can be higher than conventional inputs.
Finding & Suggestions:-
Finding & Suggestions:- Here are 10 ways organic farming awareness is typically promoted: Educational workshops and seminars Demonstration farms Training programs for farmers Farmers ' field days Awareness campaigns through media channels Certification programs for farmers Participation in farmers' markets and fairs Collaboration with schools and universities Online resources such as websites and educational videos
Learning Outcomes:- ➤ Sustainable and eco-friendly technology . ➤ It improves quality, shelf and nutritive value of the farm produce . ➤ It encourages sustainable livelihood of the producers as well as safeguards consumers health . ➤ It improves the physical, chemical and biological health of the soil.Promotes healthy use of the natural resources and minimizes all forms of the pollution . ➤ It enhances and sustains biological diversity within the system.
Conclusion:- From the foregoing discussion, it can be inferred that organic farming appears to be a sustainable, economic and eco-friendly, since there is no risk of residual toxicity. It improves soil fertility and yielded quality production . An addition of compost prepared from farm wastes i.e. FYM, Neem -cake, biogas slurry, vermi-compost etc . helps maintain organic matter in soil.
