There was a proverb in ancient times in India. “Good farming medium van. Adham chakri begging nidana means “the best thing to do is to cultivate. Then do business. Then, if you do not get a job and in the end, if you do not find anything, then make a living by begging ”.
But it is the opposite in today's era. People like to work more. Instead of doing farming and farmers who are also doing farming, they are also forced to quit farming, because the cost of grain production is high and grain production is low.
But for the last few years a new farming technique is being adopted in India, which is called "organic farming". In this, the cost of grain production is low and grain production is high.
What is organic farming
Organic farming is a new crop growing technique that uses organic manure, green manure, cow dung manure, cow dung gas manure, earthworm manure, instead of using chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Farming ".
Organic farming protects the environment from the side effects caused by chemicals. Increases the fertile capacity of the land. Increases the yield of crops. The grains grown through biological farming method are of high quality which are health-friendly.
Reason for adopting organic farming
The main reason for adopting organic farming is the western technique adopted in the field of farming after 1966-67, which is known as "Green Revolution". This method of farming gave the fields a boost with crops. But gradually all the power of soil took over. The crop was good, but at the same time it also caused many fatal diseases.
The name of Green Revolution in India in the sixties resonated a lot. The aim then was to liberate the country from hunger. More chemical fertilizers and pesticides were used in the fields to grow more crops. This led to an unprecedented increase in crop yields, which was called the "Green Revolution".
The indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides may have increased yields significantly. But it ended the fertility of the land.
Chemical fertilizers and poisonous pesticides were used to get maximum production. Due to which the cycle of exchange between biological and inorganic substances of nature was affected. And slowly the fertile power of the land was destroyed.
Indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides pollutes the environment. This has a bad effect on the health of the people. The natural sources were destroyed. The power of the land was reduced and the fields became barren.
This is why the common farmer is committing suicide. This requires serious thinking and action. Today, a new debate has resumed around the world about agriculture, environment and natural resources. This debate is about the impact of technology lying in resources.
That is why people are adopting this new method of farming (organic farming) so that our upcoming generation can get fertile land, good grain and clean and healthy environment.
The purpose of organic farming
The main purpose of organic farming is to maintain the fertilizer strength of the soil as well as to increase the production of crops.
Making the environment pollution free.
Maintaining soil quality and conserving natural resources.
To remove human health related diseases.
Higher production and reducing costs.
Benefits of organic farming
Organic farming has many benefits.
This maintains the fertilizer potential of the land. And by using organic fertilizers, the quality of soil fertilizer capacity constantly improves.
This type of farming requires less irrigation.
The water holding capacity of the land also increases.
The environment remains pollution free using organic fertilizers.
Humans and animals and birds are protected from many diseases.
The crop has a good yield.
The grain grown through organic farming is of high quality, which is also good in terms of health.
The value of grain grown by organic farming is also high, which increases the income of the farmer, ie good profit at low cost.
Benefits of soil
Organic fertilizer is also beneficial from soil point of view. The water holding capacity of the land increases and the evaporation of water from the land is low.
Friendly insects are also not destroyed by using organic manure and the number of friendly pests and bacteria increases. Those who continuously improve the quality of the land.
Increases nitrogen fixation in land. And soil erosion is also less.
Environmental benefits
Organic farming is also environmentally beneficial. This also increases the water level of the land.
Pollution through soil, food and ground water is reduced.
Using waste to make manure also reduces diseases.
Crop production costs decrease and incomes increase.
India is considered an agricultural country. The history of agricultural tradition in India is very old and 70% of the people of this country depend on agriculture for their livelihood. Organic farming protects the environment from the side effects caused by chemicals. Increases the fertile capacity of the land. Increase in crop yield
Is lower.
Therefore, we should make and use fertilizers, pesticides, medicines for rat control, etc. with the help of available biological resources in the fields. By using these methods, the crop will also get more and grains, fruits, vegetables will also be best free from this poison.
Organic farming is the need of the hour today. Chemical farming is adversely affecting health and fertility. Swarashtra Seva Foundation is motivating farmers to organic farming by giving them training on organic farming and showing the benefits. The team is made available to the farmers by the team of qualified agronomists and agricultural trainers with the help of training and organic manure and seed by foundation. Government schemes are also helped to benefit farmers. By helping the farmers in the manufacture and operation of F.P.O.( former producer organization ) proper market is also being made available to their products. Contact Swarashtra Seva Foundation to invest in farming and join the program. The prosperity of farmers is the prosperity of the country. Support the Swarashtra Seva Foundation.
