Title

CONSTRAINTS IN ADOPTIONS OF SUSTAINABLE ORGANIC FARMING PRACTICES

Abstract

Organic farming is very much native to this country as whoever tries to write a history of organic farming will have to refer to India and China. The basic point is that we need natural farming because, it is farming based on natural principles which alone is sustainable. Organic farming is not more non-chemicalism in agriculture. To be able to sustain other factors which are inseparably connected herein lies the essence of organism. This study aims to find out the constraints of the farmers in adoption of sustainable organic farming practices as the members of NGOs in paddy crop cultivation. Among the several NGOs in Pudukottai district, a few of them were found to have taken strenuous efforts towards sustainable organic farming practices under the low external input for sustainable agriculture network, namely KUDUMBAM, VENTURE and RECO. A sample size of 100 farmers were selected from the above NGOs, they are members of NGOs. A total of 33 sustainable organic farming practices in paddy cultivation were identified for this study. Constraints faced in adoption of sustainable organic farming practices were classified under four dimensions. They are: bio-physical constraints, communication constraints, economic constraints and socio–personal constraints. Simple percentage analysis was employed to make percentage ranking for easy inference. As the result of the study, among the four dimensions of constraints, majority of the respondents expressed that ‘inadequacy of irrigation water’ as the major constraint under bio-physical constraints, ‘lack of adequate information’ under communication constraints, ‘high cost of labour’ under economic constraints and ‘non-availability of adequate labours’ under socio-personal constraints.

Key Words

Organic farming, sustainable agriculture, NGOs.
