Most of the educated are aware of organic products these days.
We all know that the shiny coloured bright fruits may be sprayed with chemicals.
But there are a few misconceptions too. Like , all the native rice varieties are grown in traditional farming methods or the coloured & huge sized vegetables are hybrid ! Not necessarily 🙂
Hybrids can also be grown without chemical pesticides.
Same with any kind of rice, millet or lentils.
Due to the rise in awareness and growing demand for black, red, brown rice varieties, many inorganic farmers have taken it up to cultivate the same.
So all the “Karuppu Kavuni” rice that you consume ‘may not’ be cultivated in natural manure. Natural farming largely depends on native cows, mulch, compost etc.
One native breed of cow can provide a good source of ‘panchagavya’ ,which is a mixture of it’s milk,curd, ghee,urine and dung in proper proportion. Do you know that the mighty Ongole /Nellore breed cows & bulls comprise close to 80% of Brazil’s cattle herds? Yes, you read it right. They started rearing our native cows back in the late 1800s . But even to this day, we fail to acknowledge the potential of these breeds. Since many educated fellowmen are taking up natural farming , there are many Goushala spread across the nation who are doing their best to protect, conserve and rear these native cow breeds.
We will see more about such topics in the coming months. Keep supporting natural farming.
