Organic/ Natural farming is the production of crop, animal, and other products without the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides, transgenic species, or antibiotics and growth-enhancing steroids, or other chemicals. Organic farming has developed as a reaction to the negative effects of modern industrialized agriculture in recent times. These effects, mostly caused using agrochemicals, are contamination of individual components of the environment, decrease in soil fertility, decrease in plant vitality and immunity, decrease in biodiversity, and lowered quality of food with negative effects on human health.
NAFCOO diversified into Organic Farming with a view to making its contribution towards the promotion of sustainable agriculture and protecting the environment. The Society has experience in the implementation of organic farming projects (adoption and certification) in several locations under PKVY, RKVY, MIDH (NHM) and MOVCDNER schemes etc.
