There are more than 7 billion people living in the world today. The most important thing for this large population to live a healthy life is “food”. There is no substitute for survival. But once do we think about it that the quality of the food we eat are they safe? The answer is mostly “no”. So aren’t we throwing this huge population into a huge food insecurity ?? The answer is definitely “yes”.

Well, if you were asked to tell me about the causes of this food insecurity, what would you do first? Maybe you can show me a lot of things. But can you give me a solution? So let’s find out the causes and solutions:

Organic Farming

The term “organic farming” may seem new to many, because its use in research or fields in our country is negligible. By organic farming we mean that crops are grown in a completely natural way without the use of any artificial fertilizers, chemicals, etc. Production. Now the question may come to mind is whether the crop is produced without artificial fertilizer or chemical fertilizer ?? Yes, the answer is for you, of course production is possible.

Scientists now say in their research that the use of chemical fertilizers should be reduced as much as possible and that organic farming should be given importance. , PH imbalance, excess soil loss and many more.

Because of these, the fertility of the soil in the world will gradually be completely destroyed. Then we will not be able to achieve our goal even with the use of adequate fertilizers and pesticides in the soil. But will there be dynamism in the world ?? That is why we have to do it now, we have to cultivate knowing the right way. In that case organic farming can be a sustainable solution.

This farming has been introduced in the developed world for a long time. Our neighboring country India has got huge success in this farming. Also in many countries including Australia, Netherlands, Japan this method of farming has been started.

Instead of chemical fertilizers, the organic fertilizers produced in this technology provide essential urea, potash and phosphate fertilizers to vegetables and paddy plants. Organic compost manure is made by combining semi-compost dung, chicken droppings, rice husks, fish-chicken fins and digestive tract. If organic manure is applied, there is no need to apply extra urea, potash and TSP Besides, soil fertility and health are long lasting The crops produced are healthy and safe

Let’s learn the benefits of organic farming

1. The biggest advantage is that we get a very fresh and nutritious product through organic farming.
2. Soil fertility will increase a lot.
3. The ecosystem of the beneficial micro-organisms in the soil will be fine.
4. The pH of the soil will be right.
5. It is possible to preserve the fertility of the soil by combining long root and short length root vegetables in the soil in organic method.
   In a nutshell, we can give the world a sustainable agricultural gift through this farming. Where soil fertility, micro-organism ecosystems will be fine and we will get a fresh product with excellent nutrition.
