Organic farming works in harmony with nature, not against it. This entails employing techniques to increase crop yields while causing no harm to the natural environment or the people who live and work in it.
The number of FPOs in Rajkot district has now reached 13, and Rajkot district collector Arun Mahesh Babu has stated that his goal is to facilitate the formation of nine more. The district-level monitoring committee, chaired by the district collector, decided to approve two more FPOs at its meeting late Thursday evening.
Farmers in Subhash Palekar's cow-centered farming approach use cow urine, dung, and other cow products as agricultural input while avoiding the use of synthetic chemicals and chemical fertilizers.
Farmers who practice organic farming use only organic materials and products, which may or may not be cow products.
"As required by the scheme, these two new FPOs have already appointed their chief operating executives," the collector said.
Organic agriculture combines traditions, innovation, and science to benefit the environment while also promoting fair relationships and a high quality of life for everyone on the planet. It uses biological materials rather than chemical materials and maintains ecological balance, reducing pollution and waste.
Crop rotation, green manure, organic waste management, biological pest control, and other processes are included.
India's rich agricultural heritage makes it ideal for designing organic production systems. Many courses have been launched by the Agronomy division of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) that include organic farming packages and practises that can lead to lucrative careers in organic farming.
