Organic Farming Could Resolve World Food Issue says Retd., IAS Vijay Kumar

Three crops a year with Organic farming practices could address the world food scarcity, says organic farming expert Sri Vijay Kumar, Retd.IAS

Addressing the ongoing Go Maha Sammelan said excess use of pesticides and insecticides had reduced fertility of soil and thereby microbes and nutritious content in the crops leading to rise in diseases 

He said with organic farming practices one could raise three crops a year in lands with low rainfall and without irrigation facilities. He said all natural calamities were outcome of low wetness in soil caused by excess exposure to Sun and fall in carbon content in Soil.

He lauded the TTD initiatives to purchase organic products subsequent to an MoU signed with the AP Rythu Sadhikara Samstha in the presence of AP chief minister Sri YS Jaganmohan Reddy.
