_{Organic farming is 1000 times better than non organic farming (pesticides chemicals dependent farming )}

_{Today  I am writing my views on one of the most important topic which can’t be cover in a single blog  . I}

_{just want to know from everyone including all sides of society .}

_{Indians are shinning in the world ? indian middle class /upper middle is growing .}

 _{Simply  everyone is thinking we are becoming rich ,wealthy,luxurious life style  ,gentlemen and educated society,five 5-7} 

_{star  hospitalilty  .  But what is base of richness we had assumed ? does it covers overall development of us  and our} 

_{life  ?   is crime rate decreasing etc etc. the answer only is  monetary terms   and many luxury basis .}

_{Reason behind to talk here is only one}

_{ARE  we becoming healthy  sir /madam .}

_{Are we eating good food ?}

_{Only hygnie food court , 5 star hotels,clubs  neat and clean table  , well dressed hospitality is fine?}

_{Had we ever think  the base from were these foodies ,chessy dishes  enter our planet is healthy ,}

_{If mother is not healthy or diseased  than infant ? a healthy one . NOT AT ALL .}

_{Same is the case with our mother EARTH . in INDIA  FARMING  FIELDS are very very DISEASED  reason is}

_{CHEMICAL FARMING  (non organic farming) use of too much  chemicals to boost farming  and with less hard .BIG} 

_{PESTICIDES  AND  UREA MANUACTURING}

_{GIANTS brainwash  with idea that  using these chemicals farmer got good crop yield ,very less wastage , low chance of} 

_{fungus pest insect and one day they become ‘rich farmer’.on other side we all know our majority of indian farmers brothers} 

_{household life is very bad condition.  NOT ONLY HIS LIFE BUT THEIR OWN HEALTH CATTLE HEALTH,ENVIROMENT} 

_{IS FULL  OF DISEASE WITH GREEN HAZARD IN INDIA.}

_{Simple case is of kerala}

_{Endosulfan destroyed biodiversity of Kasaragod villages kerala}

_{Side effects of chemical farming are}

                       _{These chemicals  are just 2%  accepted by plant and 98% left  is entering our natural resources like water air .} 

_{their they are penetrating  human beings and also cattle raised on farms.so causing everyone to suffer from  these} 

_{hazardful chemicals.}

             

_{Ø  Lifelong diseases  -  , chronic illnesses like diabetes and degenerative diseases like cancer .cancer term as a disease is} 

_{more common than google .in india people have become monetary rich later but this devil has enter our society to early .} 

_{even small kids are suffering . this chemicals farming is also very much responsible . even villager in state like Punjab are} 

_{vry badly fighting from disease like it.}

_{Neurological disorder like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)}

_{Ø  Infertility- in both men and women . in many states it has rise to 20% in india . ref. http://www.dailypioneer.com/state-editions/ranchi/pesticide-causes-infertility-in-rural-men.html  Infertility  in and also  from example of kasaragod villages more than 50% cattles are infertile.}

_{Ø  Birth defects –due to use of these chemical farming  infant born with physical disformalities like bigheads , 6-8 fingures in one hand ,toe .without limbs & feet etc}

_{Ø  Increase in farmer death is also caused due to these chemical & pestides.}

_{Ø  Indirectly increasing slaughtering of our holy cows and other cattle.-as cattle demand has decreased for farming .  second point is now these chemicals have enter milk too.}

_{Ø  Cause of soil erosion and loss of soil nutrients}

_{Now its to move again towards our   traditional way  of farming i.e termed now as organic farming . unwanted & useless} 

_{foreign techniques   brainwashed our whole system from government to farmers to use these chemicals and enjoy bumper} 

_{crop this season & make them to stop traditional organic farming}  

_{today  that organic food is again introduce with double or thriced price tag.}

_{Question  is Why You Should Be Eat Organic Farming  ?}

 

_Firstly

_{What is organic farming}

 

_{Ref. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_farming}

_{_organic farming_ _is a form of _agriculture_ _that relies on techniques such as _crop rotation_, _green manure_, _compost_, and _biological pest control_. Depending on whose _definition_ _is used, organic farming uses fertilizers and pesticides (which include _herbicides_, _insecticides_and _fungicides_) if they are considered _natural_ _(such as _bone meal_ _from animals or _pyrethrin_ _from flowers), but it excludes or strictly limits the use of various methods (including synthetic petrochemical _fertilizers_ _and _pesticides_; _plant growth regulators_ _such as_hormones_; _antibiotic use in livestock_; _genetically modified organisms_;_[1]_ _human sewage _sludge_; and _nanomaterials_._[2]_) for reasons including _sustainability_, _openness_, _independence_, _health_, and _safety_.}

_{Organic farming beneifits}

_{1. The Promotion of Biodiversity}

_{Organic methods such as rotating crops to build soil fertility and naturally raising animals helps to promote biodiversity,} 

_{which returns health to each species. Organic farms are havens to wildlife, so our ecosystems are improved, as well.}

_{2. The Reduction of Farm Pollution}

_{No, there’s no such thing as “farm smog,” but conventional farms di create their own kind of pollution in the form of} 

_{chemical pesticide and synthetic fertilizer run-off that harms the areas around them. With these chemicals removed from} 

_{the equation, organic farming is far more beneficial and less impactful on our environment.}

_{3. The Reduction of Toxic Substances in the Environment}

_{Currently, 99.5 percent of the acres in the United States devoted to farming use non-organic methods. Approximately 382} 

_{million acres of land in the U.S. is used for crop production, and an estimated 525 million acres is used for livestock. Add} 

_{this up and you get over 900 million acres of land subjected to chemicals for fertilizer and pesticides, as well as other} 

_{substances used in livestock farming. Any reduction of this number would have a benefit to the environment around us.}

_{3. Better-Tasting Food}

_{It’s not just imaginary: organic food actually can taste better than its conventionally farm-raised counterpart. One} 

_{scientific reason for this is that some organic produce has lower nitrate contents than its non-organic version. This leads to} 

_{sweeter-tasting fruits that also have been shown to contain higher levels of antioxidants. So it’s not really all in your head.} 

_{Organic farming can lead to better flavor.}

_{4. Better Soil}

_{A Cornell University study estimates that conventional farming’s dependency on chemical fertilizers destroys topsoil, which} 

_{generates a $40 billion annual loss. If organic methods were used – instead of chemical fertilizers and ammonia – we} 

_{would instead see an increase in the healthiness of this topsoil, which in turn would produce fruit and vegetables higher in} 

_{minerals and micronutrients.}

_{5. Job Creation}

_{The most recent statistics from the Organic Farming Research Foundation indicate that there are more than 10,000} 

_{organic producers in the United States. Compare that to the nearly 2 million conventional farms. However, the} 

_{organic farms are more profitable – even though they often require more employees. It’s not difficult to equate the} 

_economic 

_{benefit and job creation that a shift to organic farming would create.}

_{6. Assisting the Fight Against Climate Change}

_{Because organic farming eschews chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it reduces nonrenewable energy use. It takes} 

_{considerable amounts of fossil fuel to create the synthetic fertilizers and pesticides used in conventional farming. What’s} 

_{more, organic farming increases the amount of carbon returned to the soil, which in turn lessens the impact on the} 

_{greenhouse effect and global warming.}

_{7. Safer Water}

_{The runoff of chemicals from conventional farming seeps into groundwater supplies, and groundwater pollution has} 

_{become a serious issue. Soil itself is a natural water filter. Organic farming enriches the soil, which not only removes the} 

_{risk of groundwater pollution but can also act as a way to rehabilitate soil in areas where damage to water supplies has} 

_{already occurred.}

_{8. Preservation of the Culture of Agriculture}

_{It is said that every culture shares one thing in common: Food. It is a universal celebration. Organic farming celebrates} 

<sub>healthfulness and biodiversity. It removes damaging chemical toxins from our environment and our food
