Abstract:

Organic farming is more traditional in nature and remains paramount forever. The fundamental principle is to keep the sustaining fertility of the soil by using cattle dung & urine in place of chemical fertilizers and cow urine in place of pesticides. Cattle are the main component in organic farming, and in the days of modernisation breeding cattle is a big issue. If viewed practically, it is no issue at all. Agriculture and cattle-both remain complementary to each other. The methods adopted by us from the days of our great grand fathers, being practiced with dedication have been yielding good results. The system we adopt is simple; we allow the cattle to go around a specific area for some days in the off-season in a cycle and the cultivable land gets drenched with cattle urine and dung. The process is repeated year after year. Healthy cattle, fertile soil, assured yield is equal to a contented family. Fertility of the soil remains intact. All the description is to focus only one important thing. That is, our agriculture practice is more traditional and with us this remains a passion. In recent years except mechanization to plough, we never tried to resort any other modern methods even for harvesting Post Independent India is made to dependent on chemical fertilizers and harmful pesticides. The solemn obligation on every farmer engaged in organic farming is to liberate the mired farmers from the vicious cycle of dependence and more dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Bharat is a land of villages and the farmers form backbone to society is literally true. The organic farmer becomes a source of inspiration if his produce is rewarded suitably. Organic farmers need due recognition and public acknowledgement. This becomes possible if encouraged and supported by govt, and similar agencies all over the world. Organic agriculture yields organic food, sanjivani to our brothers and sisters. Now a day farmers claiming themselves as pioneers in organic farming has turned into a great fashion. Brown rice or brown wheat is being mistaken as organic. It is a misnomer. The difference is being noticed by people with awareness. Consumption of organic rice keeps the digestive system of the body temple like a flower vase instead dustbin.
