India is an agricultural country. 75% of the population is directly dependent
on agriculture for their living. Modern farming uses enormous amounts of pesticides
and chemical fertilizers which disrupt soil fertility and cause water hardness and
genetic variation in plants. In this paper, we are going to focus on organic farming and
its benefits. Quality crops are produced through organic farming without influencing
the health of the soil. Therefore, organic farming provides macronutrients and
micronutrients to the plants and improves the different characteristics of the soil.
Organic agriculture helps the farmers get synced with climate change. The change of
climate makes the growth condition more difficult. To overcome such a situation, the
earth holds and removes the required greenhouse gases in the soil. Eco-agriculture has
a higher ability to reduce environmental change, largely because it’s higher in lowering
the emission of gases like CH4
, NO2
, and CO. The confirmation of cultivation practices
as expected in natural horticulture gives an assurance of natural standards and
guidelines. This additionally permits the upheld reception of new and successful
practices pointed to working on the relief of environmental change. Besides, natural
agribusiness is profoundly versatile to environmental change, compared to regular
farming. In any case, a more noteworthy acknowledgment of the capability of natural
farming for alleviating environmental change is required. Future techniques for
working on the adequacy of natural farming in relieving environmental change are
introduced and talked about.
