ORGANIC FARMING |
|
-
Organic farming is a holistic
production management system which promotes and enhances
agro-ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological
cycles, and soil biological activities
-
It emphasizes, the use of
management practices in preference to the use of non-farm
inputs, taking into account that regional conditions require
locally adapted systems
-
This is accomplished by using,
wherever possible, agronomic, biological, and mechanical
methods, as opposed to using synthetic materials, to fulfill
any specific function within the system
-
Organic Farming is a must to get
good health & wealth, natural quality & nutritious food
grains, fruits and green vegetables for hygienic long life

WHY ORGANIC
FARMING |
|
-
In the
recent Commonwealth Heads of Government Meet (CHOGM) held at
Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, all the developed
countries were persisted to curtail Co2 emission. At the end
of the summit British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that,
the developed countries will mobilise $100 billion by 2020
for supporting global climate change action in developing
countries. On the other hand, French President Nicolas
Sarkozy made a strong bid stating that, the developing
countries those who are postponing their responsibilities on
controlling the Co2 emission in order to curb Global Warming
should be levied an import tax for their export merchandise
into developed countries
-
In this
juncture, we have left with no other option but to invest in
Green Technology to curtail Global Warming rather than
bearing the additional export levies which will affect our
exports drastically
-
Last October, there was a news banning imports of Basmati
rice from an Indian state by the Iranian Government, with
reference to the website www.commodityonline.com due to the
presence of heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium and lead
-
In this
circumstance, if we grow a crop there, the plants will have
some constituents of them. As per a notification from Centre
of Advanced Studies, Agriculture Department, farmers should
not sow any crop in such areas. This is the first occurrence
of such an unfortunate incident.
The above can happen anywhere in the globe and any
Government can investigate and ban imports of food grains,
fruits and green vegetables. If this occurs where will we
turn to for sourcing the same?
-
Therefore it would be rather appropriate to start preventive
mechanism to the problems on hand and in order to :
ü
Curtail Co2
Emission
ü
Curb Global
Warming / Climate Change
ü
Control
Water & Air Pollution
ü
Accelerate
Soil Enrichment
-
The export of organic food is
also growing steadily; our country is targeting to improve
its global share by producing and exporting organic food
grains in line with the World Trade Organization regime
-
Hence Mithunram Properties
Limited, ventures into Organic Farming in Rural areas
-
Predominantly more than 65% of
our population is dependent on Agriculture and Farming
sector. In order to enhance their standard of living &
assure social security, we are planning to cultivate organic
cotton, fruits, green vegetables and different kinds of
organic crops that contains up to 40% more antioxidants
-
Organic farming primarily
evolves good seeds for cropping, which ultimately results in
rich harvest and high yield. Its also a device which
improves soil ecology.
