Organic farming is a sustainable agricultural approach that uses natural methods, avoiding synthetic chemicals and genetically modified organisms to promote soil health.
Promoting organic farming in India involves raising awareness, offering financial incentives, and providing training to encourage sustainable, chemical-free agricultural practices.
Soil preparation for organic farming involves enriching the soil with compost, organic matter, and natural fertilisers, ensuring nutrient-rich and healthy crop conditions without synthetic chemicals.
In organic farming, pest and disease management relies on natural methods such as crop rotation, introducing beneficial insects, and cultivating disease-resistant crop varieties.
Government schemes related to organic farming aim to provide financial incentives, training, and certification support to encourage farmers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices.
Organic farming in India is becoming increasingly profitable due to high consumer demand for chemical-free products, premium pricing, and government support, offering lucrative opportunities for farmers.
