ORGANIC AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION NC II.pptxGraceAceveda
Organic Agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems, and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

12. When organic farmers and
traders are operating in an
anonymous market,
certification is developed to
show and guarantee to
consumers that a product
has been produced in
consistency with organic
standards.
• For small farmers/producers
- when there is surplus &
scale that warrants new
markets, certification
becomes important.
Is there a need for organic
certification?
13. Why certification programs exist?
• It brings opportunities to
producers/farmers
(e.g., market access, protection of local
resources, improvement of worker’s health &
living conditions of rural communities.)
• Growing market/consumer
awareness of the social &
environmental problems
• Safe and quality products
ensure consumer health
14. Organic Certification
Balance of interests
•CONSUMER requires healthy and environmentally
sound products
willing to pay premium price
Trust
•FARMER/PROCESSOR is producing according to
certain standards (may be putting higher labour, etc.)
getting access to premium price markets
15. – A procedure by which a third party gives
written assurance that a product, process or
service is in conformity with certain standards
– Intended to assure quality and prevent fraud
– A marketing initiative aimed at regulating and
facilitating the sale of organic products to
consumers
Whatis organiccertification…
17. Accreditation
Guarantees that the
certification program is
competent to carry out
specific tasks
• Authoritative body defines
policies, standards and
checks whether a
certification system is
operating according to
standards
Standards
define production methods,
not the product quality
Minimum requirements, not
"best practice"
Can be International,
National or regional
standards
18. Inspection
On-site visit to verify
that the performance of
an operation is in
accordance with
specific standards
Certification
Written confirmation
that a process or
product is in
compliance with
prescribed standards
19. International Organic Standards
1. IFOAM: • International federation of organic Agricultural movements
• Established in 1972
• Headquarter in Germany
• Developed international basic standards of organic agriculture
• Established IFOAM accreditation programme (1992) to accredit
certifying bodies

•Produced a set of guidelines for organic production
3. EU
regulation
•Laid out a basic regulation for European Union’s organic standards
in Council regulation No. 2092/91 (June 1991)
•Regulations give guidelines for the production of organic crops in
the European Community.
4. Demeter •Demeter International is a world wide net work of 19 International
certification bodies in Africa, Australia, Europe
•Developed guideline for biodynamic preparation.

INDIA,2009
51. Organic farming which relies on internal inputs has higher potential for
premium price and quality produce than external input of inorganic
agriculture practices. Keeping these potentials in mind, farmers starts
practicing organic farming but at the same time they are facing several
constraints.
So, the efforts from the various players like policy makers, researcher,
extension workers, farmers’ representative, inputs suppliers, marketing
personnel and consumers are needed to promote organic farming in a
big way to tackle the present crisis.
It is hoped that organic farming will emerge as an important component
of sustainable agriculture and congenial environment in future.
