India Increasing Use Of Organic Farming

Posted on by blogger

Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar believes that Indias rapidly expanding production of organic agricultural goods can play a critical role in the future of the countys organic food trade.

Organic agriculture in India has made good progress during the last six years, Pawar stated while speaking in front of the parliamentary consultative committee for his ministry on Wednesday. With a combined effect of farmers efforts, NGOs work, government interventions and market forces, Indian organic agriculture has reached a stage where it can play a significant role not only in the growing domestic market, but also in global organic food trade.

Pawar said his ministry is promoting and spreading organic farming throughout the country with a variety of state-funded projects like the National Horticulture Mission, the National Project on Organic Farming, the Technology Mission for the Northeast and Rastriya Krishi Vikas Yojana.

In India, as against 42,000 hectares under certified organic farming during the 2003-04, initial estimates for 2009-10 indicate organic agriculture under certification has grown to 1.05 million hectares. Out of this, nearly 750,000 hectares are fully certified while the remaining 300,000 hectares are under various stages of conversion.

Pawar believes that organic farming is an ideal option for raid-fed, marginal land, and hilly areas and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research has initiated an All India Network Project on organic farming to scientifically test and prove the most effective methodologies in organic farming.

Promotion of organic farming will not only ensure increased availability of organic and biological sources of nutrients, but will also provide technologies and information which help other forms of agriculture in restoring soil health and conservation of resources, the minister said.

In addition to national initiatives in the organic farming field, a collection of state governments have also initiated their own organic farming promotion programs. Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Uttarakhand have drafted policies for the promotion of organic farming and, of those, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Uttarakhand have declared that they wish to go 100 percent organic in the future.

Firstly you will need a set of skills and tools in order to get a job in agriculture. Hands-on skills are required. Many farming jobs are usually manual and need persons who are great at performing multiple and complex tasks fast and efficiently with minimal errors. Persons seeking work and jobs in agriculture need to work great with their hands.

Driving skills are also a must. People who want to work in the agriculture business need to have several driving certifications. Tractors and other machinery are common vehicles used in agriculture. Being able to manage, drive and manipulate these vehicles can be very confusing for someone without these skills. There are several lessons and skills you will need in order to drive a large piece of machinery. This is a necessary skill when trying to get jobs in agriculture.

Research and analysis are other components of the agriculture field. Not everyone needs to work on a farm or operate large machinery. Some persons will need to work in the agriculture field from the scientific end. This type of occupation requires persons in a laboratory setting who scientifically research various crops in order to improve farm productivity.

The agriculture and farming industry is a business like any other industry. Skills in business are required. There are many aspects of agriculture that require a keen business eye. For instance, great business skills will come in very handy when purchasing or selling crops and livestock.

Jobs in agriculture require great animal handling skills. Knowing about the various types of animals on a farm and how to care for them is crucial. Say for instance you apply for a position as a Farm Manager, Pig Farmer or Shearer. All these jobs require knowledge and certifications with handling certain or even all farm animals.

These are just some of the requirements necessary in order to get a job in agriculture. There are also several different fields within the agriculture industry that call for different areas of study, technique and skill. The range of occupations within the industry is diverse. If you want to obtain a job in agriculture then there are several skills and schooling you will have to go through first.

Practical Paleo Guide – The Caveman Way

Practical Paleo Guide – The Caveman Way

That’s right you are taking a journey back to the stone age. To be more exact, the Paleolithic Era, long for Paleo. Why is the caveman visualized as such a strong, viril, healthy hunter? Well he ate Protein, and anything else he could find to put in his mouth that wouldn’t kill him and hopefully would taste good.

Modern day man is bombarded with a plethora of diet options. Many diets discourage large amounts of meat intake, restrict carbohydrates, or focus largely on fruits and vegetables. The Paleo diet, however, is unique because it is based on the diet of the very first humans.

The Paleo Diet is also referred to as the Hunter Gatherer Diet because it consists of food that can be hunted (such as meat or seafood) and gathered (such as fruits, nuts, vegetables, etc.). Which translates to running down his source of protein and killing it – Great Exercise combined with healthy fresh food. Unlike man today who jumps in his car, drives to the closest fast food source and gobbles down a couple Hamburgers, Fries and Shake. No exercise and food loaded with preservatives, fillers and who knows what else. Essentially, the Paleo diet takes the diet used by early humans prior to tractors or farm animals and applies it to modern-day foods.

The core principle of the Paleo Diet is that humans are genetically suited to eat the foods that our ancestors consumed. A concise, to the point definition, the Paleo diet imitates the foods that every single human on earth consumed before the rise of agriculture. The Paleo diet contains foods that have very high nutritional value, such as lean meats, seafood, fruits, and vegetables. And NO, you don’t have to run down your prey and kill it or spear fish in the nearest body of water. Wow, isn’t that great. However we do suggest other means of exercise more suited to modern man. The diet also shuns food ingredients that were created after the agriculture revolution, such as grains, dairy products, sugar, and salt because these products can lead to an increase in weight and a higher chance of developing health problems such as diabetes.

It is no wonder that athletes are fans of the Paleo Diet because of its high protein content. Some foods that are basic to the diet are meat, chicken, fish, fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Paleolithic man would like you to keep these fundamentals in mind when choosing which vegetables to eat. You should look for root vegetables, but make sure to stay away from potatoes and sweet potatoes. One reason these foods are healthy for you is because they are free of additives, which most modern men now know are proven to be harmful to your health.
