It is more than harmful chemical free farming

Organic agriculture means without any chemicals, fertilizers atall, it simply means natural way. Now there are so many waysfor organic farming, like;

Sajiv Kheti (vermicompost/earthworm): One which is done withthe help of Worms (Adasiyu)

Farming with Cow & Neem: means it uses cow dung, cow urine,cow ghee for every need farming like pesticide, fertilizer etc.

Savesanghvi method: Use nothing or low proportion of bothabove methods and let is be grown in Jungle way, no widding, nowater almost, no pesticides, no fertiliser.

Vedik Kheti: Which uses sound therapy and some proportion ofabove methods (vedic chanting, shlokas etc)

Homa farming/Agnihotra farming: Farming with regular homasand havens in farm.

Some History and facts

It is proven that whatever method you use in anycombination, there will be more yield and/or moreprofit at the end of comparing to current

fertilizer/chemical based model.

Just think one thing; fertiliser has been invented some60-70 years back, what Indian farmers do beforethat??. This will automatically give you answer that weearlier used one of above method, but due to desire ofmore corps and with less hard work we changed ourroots to fertiliser and chemical based farming model.

Try to see overall picture, dont conclude byfractual/partial facts

Some myths and facts

There are lots more examples with links I have, but main thing here is to involved in such things. There are some knownmyths about organic farming; lets break that one by one.

1) Myth: Production will be less in organic farming:

Actual: It is totally depend on which techniques you have used, and if production is less in first phase any reason, it will bedefinitely increased in next lot. We need to also change accordingly and implement the same with experienced person. Hereone have to also look at the point that we are getting high quality, at less prise; so dont hope for bumper production in firstphase, later on it will be there for sure.

2) Myth: Organic products are very costly in market

Actual: Actually in organic farming the production cost is very much low compared to current ones, but some businessminded people in the name of quality make it higher prise. We can sell our products at much much lower rates (I have plansto do the same in future).

3) Myth: It uses worms, I dont like that.

Actual: There are many more optional methods available in organic farming, like cow dung, cow urine, cow ghee, needetc OR you can use save-sanghavi method.

4) I dont know much about organic farming: Actual: You can contact near Krishi Kendra or best thing is to visit any of four available Krishi Universities in Gujarat. They

will give you all the details. You can also search on internet, there are so many groups, websites, articles which will clearyour doubts.

5) There is no big market for Organic Products:

Actual: There is much much big market of organic products nationally and internationally, we need to explore little bitmore. You can not only focus on organic farming but also on organic horticulture, organic herbal products, you can also usesome by products. Main thing is that there is already market available and if it is not there, we can create the market, peoplewill surely come for organic as it not use any pesticide and chemical fertilizer.

Right action in right direction is key tosuccess

Question in your mind

Now you will definitely ask, if it is so much useful, high yields,high returns.why it is not much popular? So to answerthis question let us first make some points clear.

Organic farming is our ancient method, there is no question of

something totally new, we just forget the same. It is because ofsome vested interest of some MNC companies, chemicalfertiliser companies and bureaucrats they dont want this thingto happen or known by everyone. There are number ofexamples where people got really benefited from organicfarming.

There is so many resources available on internet regarding howorganic farming alone can solve Indias food problem, also sometechnical docs which shows how to make panchanyamrut whichmay replace pesticides and fertiliser. You wont believe there iscow dung, cow urine trading going on the net.

Thinking good is good, doing good is best,but being good is BEST
