Organic farming: Benefits, climate challenges and food security
Author(s): Mukesh Topwal and Shruti Agarawal
Abstract: Organic farming seems to be more appropriate, as it considers the most important aspects like sustainability of natural resources and environment safety. It is a production system which favours maximum use of organic materials (crop residue, animal residue, legumes, on and off - farm wastages, growth regulators, bio-pesticides) and discourages the use of synthetically produced agro-inputs for maintaining soil productivity, fertility and pest management under conditions of sustainable natural resources and healthy environment. It is widely considered that organic food has a better quality from a nutritional point of view when compared with food produced by using traditional production techniques. Also, by doing organic farming we can obtain higher yield with safe environment.
