Question

explain the importance of organic farming​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• The green revolution fulfilled our aspirations by changing India from a food importing to a food exporting nation which involved greater use of synthetic agrochemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides with adoption of nutrient-responsive, high-yielding varieties of crops. However, the achievement was at the expense of soil health and environment and to the harm of the well-being of the people. Hence, a natural balance needs to be maintained at all cost without affecting the soil health as well as getting higher crop yields and quality of products for ever increasing population. Thus, organic farming is a potential alternative to conventional agriculture which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic inputs (such as fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, feed additives etc) and to the maximum extent feasible relies upon crop rotations, crop residues, animal manures, off-farm organic waste, mineral grade rock additives and biological system of nutrient mobilization and plant protection.
