Organic Farming has been considered as the immediate demand for the world population which is suffering a lot by the chemical based foodgrains, vegetables and fruits. Just washing fruits & vegetables before consumption is not sufficient to reduce the residual effect of harmful chemicals. Now a days, like in every field, farmers are running in the race of increasing their production by using heavy dosage of chemical fertilizers, growth hormones, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and many other harmful chemicals. In spite of the use of all these chemicals, the numbers of pests and diseases are continuously increasing, so is the amount of chemical to cure them. This is not only affecting the health of the consumers but also harmful for the health of our milching animals, Mother Earth and environment.
To overcome all these problems, Organic Farming is considered as one of the solutions. The concept of organic farming precisely follows the principles of eco-system and networking with nature. It is different from chemical farming both in philosophy and practice.
