Why one needs to take criticism of PM Narendra Modi’s organic farming policy with a pinch of salt
FirstpostPrime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day speech created many ripples in the agricultural world. His statements were “chemical-free farming and organic farming is our duty”, and “small farmers can especially benefit from natural farming”. But organic farming is the way to recovery, and with the right methods of soil conservation, yields can be better than chemical farming,” Ramesh explained. Ramesh’s life proved yet again, that organic farming is economical and the need of the hour. Pseudo-scientific writers often attack organic farming for lesser yields, conveniently overlooking fiscal revenue burdens – fertiliser, pesticide, subsidies, soil and water degradation and debt endured to make industrial agriculture viable.
