3. INTRODUCTION : ORGANIC FARMING
 Organic Farming?
 To be considered “organic”:
 – must be produced without synthetic pesticides,
fungicides or herbicides.
 – Can not be grown by use of genetic engineering
 – Bans use of sewage sludge as fertilizers
 – No irradiation of food to preserve it
 – No use of hormones and/or antibiotics in organic
 – meat and diary products
 Strict farming methods = costly production

4. HISTORY OF ORGANIC FARMING :
 Organic Farming was the original type of
agriculture.
 Forest gardening, a fully organic food production
system which dates from prehistoric times.
 The organic movement began in the mid- 1920s in
central Europe.
 Old technique in all over world leading to new
change in agriculture

6. AIMS OF ORGANIC FARMING :
 To maintain the long term fertility of the soil
 To reduce the input cost.
 To effectively utilize the natural resources .
 To avoid all forms of pollution caused by
agricultural techniques.
 To provide a quality foodstuff .

9. ORGANIC FARMING METHODS :
 It is a combine scientific knowledge of ecology and
modern technology with traditional farming
practices based on naturally occurring biological
processes.
 Crop Diversity
 Pest Control
 Live Stock
 Farm Size
 Plant Nutrition
 Soil Fertility

11. ADVANTAGES OF ORGANIC FARMING :
 Conventional farmer’s can actually reduce production
cost by over 25%.
 Eliminating the use of synthetic fertilizers and
pesticides.
 Minimizing soil erosion by up to 50% and increasing
crop yields up to five-fold within 5 years.
 Free from harmful chemicals, artificial flavors and
preservatives.
 Eating organic foods may in fact, reduce the risk
of heart attacks, strokes and cancer.

12. BENEFITS OF ORGANIC FARMING:
 Yield
 Energy
 Greenhouse gas emissions and climate change
 Water use
 Localisation
 Pesticides
 Ecosystem impact
 Nutritional benefits
 Seed-saving
 Job creation

13. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF ORGANIC
FARMING:
 SOIL- building practices such as crop rotations,
intercropping, symbiotic associations, cover crops,
organic fertilizers and minimum tillage are central to
organic practices.
 WATER- In many agriculture areas, pollution of
groundwater courses with synthetic fertilizers and
pesticides is a major problem.
 AIR&CLIMATE- Organic agriculture reduces non-
renewable energy use by decreasing agrochemical
needs. And contributes to mitigating the
greenhouse effect and global warming through its
ability to sequester carbon in the soil.

14. TECHNIQUES IN ORGANIC FARMING :
—Mulching
—Bio-
Fertilizer
—Vermi-compost
—Seed

16. SCOPE IN INDIA :
 India's rich heritage of agricultural traditions
makes it suitable for designing organic
production systems.
 With greater political will and investment in
research, extension and marketing
infrastructure more of this potential could be
realized
 The agronomy division of Indian Agricultural
Research Institute (IARI) has started many
course including package and practices for
organic farming which can promote great career
opportunities in organic farming .
