Today, the utilization of chemicals in farming practices has resulted in the upsurge of adversities, be it in the terms of our health or the environment. From the emergence of some rare forms of diseases to heart-drenching soil pollution, mankind is now being haunted by its brainchild- chemical reliance. The constant use of harsh chemical-based fertilizers is adversely destroying the beneficial microorganisms and delicate ecosystems around us.
Without any proper management to deal with the chemical residues, livelihoods and health of the commonalities are put to fatal risks. Endangering our lives from multiple aspects, genetically modified crops are just worsening the situation in the present backdrop and the recent studies showcase that growing children are the most vulnerable ones to the aftereffects of new-age farming techniques.
The time has come to shun those chemicals and turn towards sustainable ways of living. And what could be more effective than adopting organic farming! It is something that humans can undoubtedly rely upon for healthier and better future prospects as ensuring a robust ecological balance has become the need of the hour.
Organic farming eschews all the present farming techniques that include the utilization of chemical, hormones or antibiotics for augmented crop production. Instead, it depends upon natural fertilizers such as animal faeces, guano and fruit or vegetable waste material for enriching the soil with nutrients and grow healthier crops that are unadulterated and invigorating.
