Abstract

Accelerated adoption of “towards organic†(integrated crop management) approach in intensive agricultural areas (food hubs) and “certified organic farming†with combination of tradition, innovation and science in the de-facto organic areas (hills) and rainfed/dryland regions can contribute towards safe food security and climate resilience, besides increased income of farm households. This approach will also positively contribute to the cause of human, livestock and eco-system health, the basic objective of organic agriculture.
