SINCE OUR COUNTRY IS  THE SECOND LARGEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD AFTER CHINA, THE DEMAND FOR EVERYTHING, BE IT FOR FARM PRODUCTS, BE IT FOR DAIRY PRODUCTS, BE IT FOR JOBS ARE INCREASING AT AN ALARMING RATE. SO  TO MEET THESE DEMAND PRODUCERS PRACTICE THE CONCEPT OF ADULTERATION, THE PRODUCTS ARE GROWN BY USING CHEMICALS TO GIVE COLOUR TO THE FARM PRODUCTS.THESE PRACTISES HAVE FURTHER IMPACTS ON HUMAN LIFE TOO, THESE CHEMICALLY PRODUCED FARM PRODUCTS DAMAGES  THE HEALTH  AND IMMUNITY OF HUMAN RACE. THAT'S WHY PEOPLE NOWADAYS HAVE BECOME MORE PRONE TO DISEASES LIKE ACUTE POISONING, LONG TERM CANCER, ORGAN FAILURE AND ALLERGIC REACTIONS. OWING TO THESE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF CONVENTIONAL FARMING, PEOPLE APPARENTLY ARE FOCUSED MORE AND MORE TOWARDS ORGANIC PRODUCTS WHICH ARE PRODUCED FROM THE PRACTICE OF ORGANIC FARMING.

SO NOW THE QUESTION COMES,

WHAT IS ORGANIC FARMING? HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE TERM ORGANIC FARMING?

 ORGANIC FARMING IS A METHOD OF PRODUCING FARM PRODUCTS WHICH INVOLVES MUCH MORE THAN NOT USING CHEMICALS SUCH AS PESTICIDES, WEEDICIDES, FERTILISERS, ANTIBIOTICS AND GROWTH HORMONES. ORGANIC FARMING PROMOTES A BALANCE HOST AND PREDATOR REALATIONSHIP, THE RESIDUES  WHICH IS LEFT FROM PRECEDING HARVEST IS USED  TO GROW SUCCEDING CROPS AND THIS RESIDUES ACT A NATURAL FERTILISERS. THE IDEA OF ORGANIC FARMING WAS DEVELOPED IN EARLY 1900s BY  SIR ALBERT HOWARD, F.H KING  AND RUDOLF STEINERS  AND OTHERS WHO BELIEVED THAT THE USE OF MANURES: NATURAL FERTILISERS, CROP ROTATION, MIXED FARMING, BIOLOGICAL PEST AND WEED CONTROL RESULTED IN BETTER FARMING.

SINCE COVID-19 AND PANDEMIC CAME INTO EXISTENCE PEOPLE STARTED THINKING MORE AND MORE ABOUT THEIR IMMUNITY AND HEALTH MORE THAN HALF OF WHICH DEPENDS UPON THE FOOD WE TAKE IN AND PEOPLE BECAME HEALTH CONCIOUS.AND THE FARMING PRACTICES WHICH PRODUCES CHEMICAL FREE HEALTHY AND ORGANIC PRODUCT IS ORGANIC FARMING  AND OWING TO THESE FACTS THE DEMAND FOR ORGANIC PRODUCT IS INCREASING.

SO NOW THE QUESTION COMES

DO FARMERS ALSO WANT TO PRODUCE ORGANICALLY?

NOT ONLY DO THE ARTIFICAL FERTILISERS, PESTICIDES, WEEDICIDES ARE EXPENSIVE BUT THEY ALSO HAVE CATASTROPIC IMAPCT ON THE SOIL AND FARMERS CONSIDER SOIL THEIR MOTHER AS IT IS  THEIR ‘KARTA DHARTA’ AND THE CHEMICALS DAMAGE THE FERTILITY OF SOIL. IN CONVENTIONAL FARMING ANIMALS ARE FED ANTIBIOTICS SO THAT DAIRY ANIMALS COULD PRODUCE MORE AND MORE MILK AND ANIMALS ARE OFTEN KEPT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY.

ORGANIC FAMING IS ALSO BENEFICIAL FOR ECONOMY AS IT PROMOTES SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT WHICH MEANS DEMAND OF PRESENT GENERATION SHOULD MEET WITHOUT COMPROMISING  THE ABILITY OF FUTURE GENERATION TO MEET THEIR OWN DEMAND.

 LET'S GET ON TO ORGANIC FARMING AND FOOD, WHICH GIVES US HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS LIFE.
