Mrs. Sumitra explained the importance of learning Organic Grower now Days. Organic farming is one of the several approaches found to meet the objectives of sustainable agriculture. Many techniques used in organic farming like inter-cropping, mulching and integration of crops and livestock are not alien to various agriculture systems including the traditional agriculture practiced in old countries like India she said.

Adverse effects of modern agricultural practices not only on the farm but also on the health of all living things and thus on the environment have been well documented all over the world. Application of technology, particularly in terms of the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides all around us has persuaded people to think aloud. Their negative effects on the environment are manifested through soil erosion, water shortages, salination, soil contamination, genetic erosion, etc she said. She also explained benefits of organic farming Compared with conventional agriculture, organic farming uses fewer pesticides, reduces soil erosion, decreases nitrate leaching into groundwater and surface water, and recycles animal wastes back into the farm. These benefits are counterbalanced by higher food costs for consumers and generally lower yields. . He added that organic farming is helpful to improve the overall condition of human beings, animals, soil and environment.

At the end Mr. Abhimanyu Behera offered a vote of thanks to Mrs. Sumitra. He thanked all the trainees for connecting with us and assured them for their beautiful future.
