Role of Organic Farming in Sustainable Environment and Agriculture System in India (A study of Hajipur Village in Alwar Region)

In modern age, increasing pollution levels in every sphere of life is the key challenge in sustainable development of our environment. Increasing demands and lavish life style of people causes environmental deterioration. Our agricultural system is also affected by pollution. Modern agricultural practices such as use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides etc. to maximize crop yield contributes in environmental pollution. These approaches ultimately disturb the nutrient balance of soil and therefore reduce soil fertility. To deal with the existing problem, Organic farming provides a natural way of crop cultivation by using environment friendly, animal and plant based local organic resources that are highly enriched in nutrients required for crop plants. It enhances the microbial activities and increases soil health.
