The agricultural practices followed by farmers in India are largely unsustainable and require the usage of synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides and weedicides to ensure adequate plant nutrition, protect crops against various diseases and weeds respectively. Excessive usage of these chemicals lead to environmental pollution as well as a variety of health problems in the farming community. These facts are supported by the information gained from our Human Practices activities. Hence there is a need for a sustainable solution.
