2. Organic Farming vs. Conventional Agriculture
Organic farming is like the eco-friendly rescuer of the farm world. It’s all about using fewer pesticides, stopping soil from washing away, keeping harmful stuff out of our water, and recycling animal waste back into the farm. But, like any superhero, organic farming faces challenges. One of them is that the food can be more expensive for consumers. And, sometimes, the food we get from organic farms is less than regular farms.
So, it’s like this ongoing battle between the eco-friendly superhero and the traditional farmer. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, but the important thing is finding the right balance for a happy and healthy farm world!
Aashirvaad Sach Much Organics strives to find that balance by ensuring our crops thrive in a way that nurtures the land and promotes biodiversity. Our organic farming methods steer clear of harmful chemicals and fertilizers, guaranteeing the pristine quality of what grace your home. Collaborating closely with devoted farmers who resonate with our values, we forge partnerships that extend beyond mere business.
3. Organic Farming Methods
Fertilizers: Organic farmers prioritize building and maintaining nutrient-rich soil by adding organic matter. Compost, manure, and animal by-products are vital components, with regulations to ensure their safe application.
Crop Rotation: Organic farmers employ crop rotation to maintain soil health and prevent erosion. Nitrogen-fixing cover crops like clover or alfalfa are commonly used to add nitrogen to the soil.
Pest Control: Organic pesticides derived from natural sources are favoured. Biological, cultural, and genetic controls are integrated to minimize pest damage. Traditional plant breeding produces crop varieties resistant to specific pests.

Despite facing hurdles such as awareness, marketing, and infrastructure, recent efforts are striving to overcome these challenges.
Through different schemes, the government aims to empower farmers by providing support in transitioning from conventional to organic farming.
The initiative not only educates farmers about modern organic farming techniques but also provides financial assistance, training, and institutional support.
The goal is to make the adoption of sustainable practices more accessible and beneficial for farmers, ultimately contributing to their well-being and the environment.
