Traditional Organic Farming in India: Merging Ancient Practices with Modern Bio-Inputs and Green Technologies
In India, traditional organic farming, which has its roots in centuries-old agricultural methods, is making a comeback as a sustainable method of producing food. In order to promote environmental sustainability, enhance soil health, and boost agricultural output, this review study investigates the integration of traditional organic farming methods with contemporary bio-inputs and green technology. Farmers have long used conventional methods like crop rotation, mulching, and composting, but the use of contemporary innovations like biopesticides, organic fertilizers, and precision farming technologies presents new chances to increase farm productivity and reduce environmental damage. The study emphasizes the similarities and differences between these two strategies, showing how ancient wisdom may support state-of-the-art advancements to advance sustainable farming systems. By bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science, this integrated approach has the potential to shape the future of agriculture in India, ensuring food security, environmental sustainability, and economic growth.
