What\u00a0<\/span>come<\/span>\u00a0in goes back around; that\u2019s how time plays its role in agriculture. Synthetic chemicals that harm the\u00a0<\/span>environment<\/span>\u00a0and disrupt the natural\u00a0<\/span>composition<\/span> of soil are discarded in organic Composting <\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0instead the process relies heavily on natural inputs and ecological processes to avoid the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified organisms a<\/span>nd artificial growth regulators, all of that just to improve soil health, biodiversity and overall sustainability.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is\u00a0Organic Composting?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

To generate a safe and nutritious ground for farming, free from all the chemicals and\u00a0maintaining\u00a0long term environmental balance, that process of making the best from waste is called organic farming<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It integrates practices like<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Crop rotation<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Composting<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Green manure<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Biological pest control<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Key benefits of Organic Composting<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The entire process to make the environment safe and bio friendly has been proven to bring a lot of benefits to the table<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. Premium market demand<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    Using Organic Composting like manure and plant wastes acts as a natural fertilizer and pesticide that helps to induce soil fertility resulting in fruitful growth prevention in soil degradation over time. Microbial activity and soil structure increases, resulting in safe and consumption friendly food that is high in demand and labeled clean toxin free, farm fresh. Organic soil also helps with water retention, reducing the need for irrigation over time.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. Premium market demand<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    Organic\u00a0produce\u00a0are\u00a0often sold at high end stores and farmer\u2019s markets due to it being high in demand in urban and export areas for clean quality and pesticide free produce.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The global\u00a0demand is growing with time as people are being more aware and conscious of what they eat and thus raising high opportunities in retail chains, export\u00a0markets\u00a0and direct consumer sales. The sale being so\u00a0profitable,\u00a0it works out for the best even during the slightly lower yields initially.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. Eco friendly<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    Apart from being great for soil health, organic compost carries a lot more on its shoulders. It helps in reducing pollution in all three areas- soil,\u00a0water\u00a0and air. It is great for promoting biodiversity\u00a0by encouraging mixed cropping and crop rotations, increasing\u00a0pollination\u00a0and micro-organic activity.\u00a0Organic compost has made its\u00a0perks\u00a0in reducing the\u00a0green house\u00a0emission and supporting climate resilient farming practices as organically induced soil helps\u00a0retain\u00a0more carbon and be more\u00a0fertile.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    What are the challenges of\u00a0Organic composting?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    1. Initiation process<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    As fascinating as it sounds, setting up the organic compost is\u00a0bit\u00a0of a tedious job.\u00a0Firstly\u00a0getting the certification is very necessary and requires\u00a0to follow\u00a0a series of complicated guidelines, which\u00a0is\u00a0both time consuming and expensive.\u00a0Secondly\u00a0the setup is manually excruciating, as it requires twice the amount of manual pressure in tasks like weeding, pest\u00a0control\u00a0and the preparation of composition.\u00a0Thirdly\u00a0finding the right buyers and vendors is a\u00a0task in itself.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a02. Knowledge and training gap<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    Farmers practicing the concept need to have proper knowledge and training to achieve the best results. They must understand and go deep in the studies of soil biology, crop\u00a0rotation\u00a0and organic inputs. Apart from that they must know how pesticides work and what\u00a0are the natural pest repellants and biological agents\u00a0that\u00a0help\u00a0chemical prevention.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. Shelf Life<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    Organic produce\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0available in all areas and so is\u00a0keep\u00a0it secure a big deal. Organic produce has a shorter shelf life and replenishes\u00a0easy, and\u00a0thus requires a sturdy and better secure storage facility.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Solution to these Organic Composting challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Organic Composting brings hope at the end of the road.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Low yields can be managed by compromising only a partial piece of land instead of the entire lot, so that even if organic produce may take 2-3 years\u00a0initially\u00a0the other hector yields properly and\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0disrupt income or cultivation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Government schemes and programs should be\u00a0initiated\u00a0to help with farming knowledge,\u00a0certification\u00a0and training; along with\u00a0that\u00a0farming groups and cooperatives should be made.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Market access should be made easier by\u00a0initiating\u00a0direct\u00a0selling\u2019s, farmer markets, and online platforms to help increase\u00a0sale.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
