Chanchal, we need to go back to the basics. Large scale conversion to orgaic farming is not going to be possible at once. It would be ideal to start with the small farmers, in one district, in one state of our country.
An account of the indigenous seed and plant varieties that have been replaced, vanished needs to be taken.
Then we need to audit the state of the acres under cultivation. Current agriculture patterns, nutrient deprivation, irrigation facilities needed and the monetary situation of the farmers.
Then we need to go back to the lab and research the best crop rotation techniques, bio degradable plant fertilizers (which are already available), bio degradable insecticides suited for the particular region.
Well, we can start there! Private Reply to Malini Suryanarayanan (new win) |
