Jaivik Kheti
Jaivik Kheti is a term used in India to refer to organic farming. The term "Jaivik Kheti" literally means "natural farming" in Hindi, and it refers to the practice of growing crops and raising animals using natural techniques and practices that are based on the principles of ecological balance.
Organic farming, or Jaivik Kheti, seeks to avoid the use of synthetic chemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, and instead relies on natural methods to improve soil health and fertility. These methods may include the use of compost, crop rotation, and the application of natural plant and animal extracts.
Organic farming has gained popularity in India in recent years as an alternative to conventional agriculture, and it is practiced by a growing number of farmers in the country. In addition to being environmentally friendly, organic farming can also offer economic benefits, such as higher prices for organic products and the potential for reduced production costs.
However, organic farming in India also faces a number of challenges, including a lack of infrastructure, limited access to credit, and the high cost of inputs. Despite these challenges, organic farming has the potential to contribute to the development of rural communities, improve the environment, and create more sustainable and equitable food systems in India.
