3. Introduction : organic farming Organic Farming? To be considered “organic”: – must be produced without synthetic pesticides, fungicides or herbicides. – Can not be grown by use of genetic engineering – Bans use of sewage sludge as fertilizers – No irradiation of food to preserve it – No use of hormones and/or antibiotics in organic – meat and diary products Strict farming methods = costly production

4. History of Organic Farming : Organic Farming was the original type of agriculture . Forest gardening, a fully organic food production system which dates from prehistoric times. The organic movement began in the mid- 1920s in central Europe . Old technique in all over world leading to new change in agriculture

5. Aims of Organic Farming : To maintain the long term fertility of the soil To reduce the input cost. To effectively utilize the natural resources . To avoid all forms of pollution caused by agricultural techniques. To provide a quality foodstuff .

6. Organic Farming Methods : It is a combine scientific knowledge of ecology and modern technology with traditional farming practices based on naturally occurring biological processes. Crop Diversity Pest Control Live Stock Farm Size Plant Nutrition Soil Fertility

7. Advantages of Organic Farming : C onventional farmer’s can actually reduce production cost by over 25%. E liminating the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides . M inimizing soil erosion by up to 50% and increasing crop yields up to five-fold within 5 years. F ree from harmful chemicals, artificial flavors and preservatives. E ating organic foods may in fact, reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes and cancer.

8. Benefits of Organic Farming: Yield Energy Greenhouse gas emissions and climate change Water use Localisation Pesticides Ecosystem impact Nutritional benefits Seed-saving Job creation

9. Environmental benefits of Organic Farming: SOIL- building practices such as crop rotations, intercropping, symbiotic associations, cover crops, organic fertilizers and minimum tillage are central to organic practices. WATER- In many agriculture areas, pollution of groundwater courses with synthetic fertilizers and pesticides is a major problem. AIR&CLIMATE - Organic agriculture reduces non-renewable energy use by decreasing agrochemical needs. And contributes to mitigating the greenhouse effect and global warming through its ability to sequester carbon in the soil.

10. Techniques in Organic farming :

11. Scope In India : India's rich heritage of agricultural traditions makes it suitable for designing organic production systems. With greater political will and investment in research , extension and marketing infrastructure more of this potential could be realized The agronomy division of Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) has started many course including package and practices for organic farming which can promote great career opportunities in organic farming .
