While Turning
Towards Organic It Is Essential That The Basic Requirements Of The System And
The Area Are Properly Understood And Long Term Strategies Are Addressed
First. In Most Parts Of The Country Poor Soil Health Due To Loss Of Organic
Matter And Soil Microbial Load Is A Major Problem. Reducing Water
Availability And Increasing Temperature Is Further Adding To The Problems. Too
Much Dependence On Market For Supply Of Inputs And Energy Has Made The
Agriculture A Cost Intensive High Input Enterprise With Diminishing Returns. We
Need To Address All These Concerns And Develop A System, Which Is Not Only
Productive And Low Cost But Also Resource Conserving And Sustainable For
Centuries To Come. To Start With, Following Parameters Need To Be Addressed:
|
·
Enrichment Of Soil
|
·
Management Of Temperature
|
·
Conservation Of Rain Water
|
·
Maximum Harvesting Of Sun Energy
|
·
Self Reliance In Inputs
|
·
Maintenance Of Natural Cycles And Life Forms
|
·
Integration Of Animals
|
·
Maximum Reliance On Renewable Energy Sources, Such
As Solar Power And Animal Power
