Pages : 150
Year of Publication : 2024
Language : English
Binding : Hardback
The growing awareness of the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals and fertilizers on agriculture, health, and the environment has driven the shift toward organic farming. Conventional farming practices, characterized by excessive and imbalanced use of nitrogenous, phosphatic, and potassic fertilizers, have degraded soil productivity, reduced organic carbon, and caused micronutrient deficiencies, particularly in India's agricultural lands. This overuse has led to groundwater contamination, nitrate pollution, and health issues such as Methemoglobinemia and cancer, alongside environmental problems like eutrophication and ozone depletion. Organic farming emerges as a holistic solution, enhancing biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil health while reducing dependency on harmful chemicals. The book explores the transition from chemicalized farming to sustainable practices, offering insights on organic crop cultivation, food security, and the role of women and agroforestry. It serves as a vital guide for sustainable agricultural advancement.
