Combat climate change effects, go organic

With farmers in many parts of India shifting from chemicals-based farming to organic cultivation, experts say that organic agriculture and permaculture have the potential to adapt to climate change.

Massive agricultural growth in India was set off by the chemicals-driven green revolution, but organic agriculture is now growing rapidly all across the country. India has the highest number of organic producers among all nations, with 650,000 of 2.3 million organic farmers in the world reported from India. Last year, Sikkim was declared 100% organic by the government of India.

Organic Agriculture is growing rapidly in all the states of India and cultivated area under certified organic farming has grown almost 17 fold in the last one decade from 42,000 hectares in 2003-04 to 723,000 hectares in 2013-14.
