Project Name : Utilization of Local Plant Life and Cow Products in Organic Farming
Theme Name : Agriculture and Food Security
Organic farming is a production system which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetically compound fertilizers, pesticides and preservatives. Organic farming is not only aimed for maintaining the sustainable agriculture production but is expected to drastically change the dynamics of growing the crops, reduces the pollution as well as encourages the mixed farming in step diversion for agriculture. The model is based on the integrated farming system where there is a farm house and rain water has been harvested from the house and water is used in the field for irrigation. The model consists of cattle farm vermin compost fishpond, poultry form. Azolla pond green house and organically prepared pesticides fungicides and insect repellent fermented plant extract using bio-pesticides, bio-fertilizers the pollution can be reduced. Organically produced food is very good for consumption and it is one of the sustainable methods of farming for the preparation of bio-pesticides and bio fertilizers. We have used local plants life and cattle waste products, Organic farming that is one of the cost effective farming. Required efforts and inputs in this method are low and the outcome is very high. We can apply this model even in small villages where the farmers do not have much budget. It is one of the low budgets or zero budget farming methods. Beside these, we can go for „Agro tourism or village (Heritage)‟ tourism. This method is successfully being used in most north eastern regions of India. This is a cost effective and sustainable farming model where people with low budget and small area can opt for it and can get benefit out of it.
