Approaches of Organic Farming

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of organic agriculture (OA) as a sustainable farming practice, particularly within the context of India’s hilly regions. It highlights the growing adoption of organic farming as a solution to the challenges faced by resource-poor farmers, including declining soil fertility, increasing costs of inorganic inputs, and the environmental impact of chemical use. The book covers the principles, practices, and certification processes of organic farming, along with topics like composting, manuring, and bio-fertilizers. Aimed at students and educators, it provides valuable insights into the benefits of organic farming for both ecological balance and rural livelihoods.
