Hi, Guys! 👋
I am Sivani. I hope you all are fine and well. I am here to give a short peek into my collaboration project on Organic Farming (more specifically ancient organic farming methods). And in order to get a more in-depth view both professionally and personally, I conducted two interviews and a survey. If you guys are interested and curious about organic farming/ancient Indian methods then you can click here and find out:

Hi guys,
For the next step of my project, I have decided to conduct a survey.
The main goal of this survey is to find people's thoughts on organic farming, chemical fertilizers and harsh farming techniques. Through this survey I am trying to find out whether people think that organic farming could help us and is it sustainable?
Link to the survey, please send it to all your friends and colleagues!

Many thanks for your support!

In my initial post , i had introduced my idea which includes looking into the agricultural methods used by the farmers in my country currently. By this we will have an idea on whether the farming methods used are harmful or not and while researching for this I had found many articles on the net :-
These are just some of the many articles present out there which More...
Agriculture is a major part as it provides the much-needed food products and other materials. But our current agricultural trend is doing nothing but harm the environment, reduce the nutritional value of the plant and deteriorate the natural fertility of the soil. The first part of the project will contain the causes for the crisis such as:
- Excessive use of chemical fertilizers
- Over irrigation
- Destroying large areas of forest land to convert into agricultural area
- Deteriorates the natural fertility of the soil
- Reduces the nutritional value of the crop
- Harmful effects of the use of fertilizers
The second part will contain ways in which we can reduce some of these problems, such as:
- Educating the farmers on a better and rational way of using fertilizers
- Organic farming
Organic farming would the main part. While researching on organic farming, I found that there were many old farming techniques which are way cheaper to make and also doesn’t harm the environment. Thus, I found that our ancestors have left us many such methods. Some of the methods that were used back then in India are:
- Jiwamritha
- Bijamritha
- Agnisastra
Feel free to check the video out to get more idea about this project.
I would love to know about any such organic farming techniques that your country may have. And I would also love to hear your opinions on my idea so feel free to comment what you think.
With Regards,
