Madiwala Agricltural Market - Bangalore, India |
It is in this situation Sikkim’s (a picturesque state located in the lap of Himalayas) drive for organic farming make sense. State already set a goal of becoming an organic agricultural state. This is indeed a great experiment which other states can also follow. I do believe that fully organic produces will also bring a premium to their cultivators, and less diseases to the consumers.
However this is not enough. It’s the responsibility of government, especially agricultural ministry to regulate the use of fertilizers and ban the ones which are not fit for use.
