A new hope for Organic Farming in India

The farm sector may have collapsed due to Covid-19, but amidst this unprecedented situation Indian farmers have a chance to Bounce Back. A shifting demand towards ecologically produced agricultural commodities has opened gates for immense agricultural expansion and repurposing of agriculture policies and practices for a healthier population. The ‘Mantra’ for seizing this opportunity and amplifying India’s trade-surplus in agricultural exports, is promoting unconventional organic farming with a stable Agri-exports policy.

A burgeoning population is diversifying its demand. It is a suitable time for farmers to start producing organic food which would help them fetch a high income, but they are still following staple cereals fundamentalism. They believe in taking minimal risks and make low profits. Agriculture for them is a poverty-stricken profession with a low potential for growth. Years of negligence, bad policy implementations, lack of support and infrastructural dearth have been causing constant disruptions in the farm economy, but the post Covid-19 India offers solutions to curb each of these problems: -

·      A new trend shall ensure a stable market and steady growth.

·      Government of India has now increased its focus on nutrition, so the ecological farmers shall benefit upcoming policy incentives, easy institutional loans, tax exemptions and marketing benefits.

·      Start-ups and delivery companies shall now join hands in sourcing fresh food directly from the farmers and deliver it to households.

Organizations such as ‘Greenpeace’, are working closely with the farmers to uplift their livelihoods. Greenpeace aims to establish ‘farmer feed communities’ in which generous donors, farmers and distressed communities form circles of solidarity. Safely grown nutritious food will be purchased at a fair price for the needy and it will ensure a sustainable living for farmers.

All this sounds amazing! Right? To achieve this individuals, agricultural institutes and business need to collaborate and provide farmers with the required infrastructure, expertise, monetary support and most importantly a market. According to ASSOCHAM, roughly a 100-billion-dollar industry awaits us. It’s time to bring back those 140 million smiles and aim for a sustainably crafted healthy future for India. So, let us go organic and grow organic.

My most memorable journey

Before Leaving Home! My feet carrying over 200 pounds and my stomach dealing with different types of specimens of fatty, oily and junk foods, this was all about my lifestyle six years ago. All this continued until when I was pulled out of my comfort zone and sent to a place believed to be a jail for naughty children. This place was none  other than a boarding school. Initial Changes! Initially, the thought of being separated from home sent shivers down my spine. Every hack, like crying profusely, not eating or trying to run away, turned useless. Then slowly all those cries turned into giggles and the same bad food became mouth-watering because of the voracious hunger from the exhaustion of games time. My clothes which earlier used to be neat and tidy were now torn and dirty. The spick and span Dorms converted into Gas chambers because of the smelly shoes and socks which we hardly changed. Every table in the classroom became a perfect masterpiece of ...
