What is organic farming Organic Farming Training Institute

Organic farming is not new to India; it has been followed since ancient times. An organic farming institute paves the way for a better organic farming scenario in the country. Organic farming cultivates the land and raises crops so as to keep the soil healthy, using organic wastes and other biological materials along with beneficial microbes (biofertilisers) to release nutrients to crops in an eco-friendly, pollution-free environment, while sustaining production. Organic farming training helps farmers build better soil health and a better environment.

The United States Department of Agriculture describes organic farming as a system which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetically compounded fertilisers, pesticides, growth regulators and livestock feed additives.
