Organic farming will change India’s destiny: Governor.
Jan 05, 2023

Urging farmers to adopt organic farming on a larger scale, governor Acharya Devvrat on Tuesday said that this will change the country’s destiny. Speaking to farmers at Anand Agricultural University, the governor said not only will this reduce the dependence on chemicals fertilizers, it will give farmers higher returns for their crops.
 
The governor, who has been leading a sustained campaign to promote organic farming, said possession of one cow can help farmers take up natural farming on 30 acres of land and farmers who have 30 cows can take up organic farming on one acre.
 
'There is a need to take up organic farming on mission mode. It will not only double but even triple farmers’ incomes. There is a misconception among farmers that there will be a reduction in output if they give up chemical fertilizers and adopt organic farming,' the governor said.
 
A large number of farmers from across the state also joined the interaction virtually, a release said. Devvrat gave a detailed presentation to farmers on the requirements of organic farming, adding that there are hundreds of farmers in Gujarat who have adopted organic farming and have seen a reduction in input costs .
