Organic farming is a method of farming, in which the use of artificial chemical fertilizers, insecticides, and growth-controlling chemicals is minimized or not at all, but in their place, organic fertilizers, crop residues, animal manure such as dung manure, earthworm manure, Emphasis is laid on compost and green manure and organic pest control. As not only the fertility of the land is maintained for a long time but also the environmental pollution does not spread and the ecological balance is maintained. Nowadays you must be seeing that the population is increasing very fast not only in India but in the world. The cause problem of food grains is growing. Many types of artificial chemical fertilizers (manures), and poisonous insecticides are being used in large quantities by humans to get maximum production in agriculture. Organic farming is crucial today as conventional agriculture faces challenges like soil erosion, water depletion, loss of biodiversity and declining soil fertility exacerbated by unsustainable agronomic practices. These factors, coupled with demographic pressures, threaten our ability to sustain food production in the long term. While modern agriculture initially increased food grain production, it heavily relies on chemical inputs like fertilizers and pesticides. This reliance not only degrades soil quality and productivity over time but also contaminates water sources and affects biodiversity. Moreover, the excessive use of pesticides in crops like paddy, cotton and vegetables further compounds environmental and health risks.
