Back2Roots, an initiative by Vivo Solutions, works towards good health of our country and people. Till today we have been educating people about Ayurvedic means of being healthy and eliminate need of allopathy treatment . A huge group of people who follow our lessons got benefitted. Their appreciation helped us to work more towards finding other ways to keep the country healthy and sound. And to keep our country healthy, its important to go deep down to the roots and promote healthy and chemical free (organic) farming through out the country. Organic farming can be understood as an agricultural method that doesn’t makes use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. We want to educate our farmers about eco-friendly way of agriculture. It depends on various other farming methods, like crop rotation and the use of compost. Organic farming thrives on the benefits obtained from recycling and use of natural products. Green manure, biological pest control methods and special cultivation techniques are employed to maintain soil productivity. Presently, organic farming is catering to a huge market worldwide. Key Benefits Of Organic Farming • Organic farming is more economical than the other farming techniques. Its range of benefits includes reduced soil erosion (retaining fertility and reducing the need for fertilizers) and less use of water. Therefore, organic farming is more profitable. • Organic farming results in less nutrient contamination, since it stays away from artificial pesticides. This leads to reduced carbon-emission and increased biodiversity. • Organic farming is capable of producing the same crop variants that are produced by the conventional farming methods, even as it brings down the expenditure on fertilizers and energy by 50%. This type of farming also retains 40% more topsoil. • The issue of soil management is effectively addressed by organic farming. It involves techniques like crop rotation and inter-cropping and makes extensive use of green manure, which helps even damaged soil that is prone to erosion and salinity, to feed on micro nutrients. • This type of farming helps the farmers clear the weeds, without using any mechanical and chemical applications. Organic way of farming relies on practices like hand weeding and enhancement of soil with natural methods, to get rid of weeds and insects, while ensuring crop quality. • Farming in the organic way is environment-friendly and non-toxic, as it uses green pesticides. These pesticides boost the crop defense systems, by identifying and removing diseased and dying plants in time. Back2Roots is working extensively to find methods of organic farming and we will soon get back with the whole process in detail, on how to get maximum yield with minimum expenditure.
