A one-day workshop on organic farming – its prospects, possibilities and problems — will be held at Kerala Sahitya Akademi Hall on November 27.
The workshop, jointly organised by the Kerala Agricultural University and the State Horticulture Mission with the support of Centre for Studies on Technology Society Interface and Policy in Agriculture is meant to assess the impact of organic farming activities undertaken in the Kasaragod district and chalk out action plans to extend the successful practices to other parts of the State.
Named ‘Lessons from Organic Kasaragod’, the event will present an overview of the implementation of organic policy in Kasaragod district, soil and plant relations in organic agriculture, and plant protection techniques in Kasaragod. According to KAU sources, the event is being organised to facilitate an analysis of actions to be taken to convert Kerala into an organic State.
