Organic
farming:
Organic
farming uses low cost techniques, naturally and easily available fertilizers like plant compost, animal manure, and traditional cultivation techniques like green manures, nitrogen -fixing legumes, and mulching.
Why
organic farming?

efficient crop rotation
There
is an increasing demand for organic fruits and vegetables due to growing awareness about health and taste. Consumer are willing to pay a premium, insuring higher returns to the farmer
The
compost components promote biological activity by active growth of
microbes restoring the natural fertility of the soil
Organic
farming helps in preserving the soil and environmental ecosystem, thus mitigating the adverse effects of chemical fertilizers and
pesticides on soil and the environment
