Green Ways for Sustainable Development
The phenomenal growth in organic farming and demand for organic products have seen a massive rise in the recent past. Besides, being a healthy option as compared to inorganic ones the practice of organic agriculture and products are not detrimental to the planet. In fact, it aids in reducing the carbon footprint, which is the current focus across all global environmental organisations and governments.
Organic farming and organic products can play a vital role in attaining the United Nation’s sustainable development goals (SDGs). If we want to maintain sustainable food systems and prevent the planet from undergoing further environmental destruction, going organic is the only mantra. Moreover, processed foods and genetically modified foods are unhealthy and lead to many complications in the long run besides dangerously adding to the carbon footprint.
We have been discussing endlessly about global warming, climate change and health issues rising from unsustainable ways of living. Having recklessly ruined the environmental balance, humans are now on the way to restore it or if possible, undo some harm that has been caused over a significant period. That inorganic agriculture and products are harmful for the environment and living beings is brought to us every day through various mediums but there have been few attempts to implement sustainable solutions.
As per reports of the UN on SDGs, the global land degradation and loss of biodiversity are results of non-traditional agricultural practices which include rampant use of pesticides and herbicides.
On the brighter side, with increasing awareness about health and fitness, and environmental degradation, the switch to organic farming and products are also seeing a steady rise.
Going organic is the best option for environment sustainability, improving yield, and retaining soil health, and in helping restore the ecological balance. The transition from inorganic farming to organic at a global level will need meticulous planning and thoughtful use of resources. Most importantly, it will need the willingness of governments. The change in mindsets is happening gradually. Meanwhile, many farmers and companies have switched over to organic and are delivering the best to the consumers.
India had always been at the forefront in organic practices. Traditional Indian farming and products were essentially organic until they were introduced to and convinced of supposed
benefits from inorganic farming. Fortunately, the country is going back to the basics albeit at a snail’s pace. But once again, India is leading the way.
Many farmers and companies are into organic yield and products. Some have also adopted smart farming by using the latest technologies for sustainable agriculture.
