President's Message

Mr. G.R. Prasad

Organic farming is not a new concept in our country. For centuries, cow-based agriculture has been the bedrock of our farmers' lives. Desi cows are like another member in every family of rural people. A milch cow and her calf were a common sight in every household in those days. These same Gou products are used as fertilizers and pesticides for home agriculture for value addition. The freshness and taste of vegetables and fruits grown in this way is different. A modest 58 percent of people in our country are engaged in sector agriculture. Only 2 percent of these farmers practice organic or natural farming. A hopeful note is that this number has grown by a modest 150 percent over the past decade In other words, in India today an average of 50 lakh farmers are organic farmers. Government and non-government organizations are supporting and encouraging it through various programs in this regard. Organic Farmers Consumers Forum, (R) Mangalore was started in 2013 as a platform to bring together organic farmers consumers through a like-minded association by Mr. Ratnakara Kulai.

Now it can be said that it has successfully crossed the threshold of a decade and has achieved great success in reaching the hearts of the people. The initial efforts of those who have a special passion for organic farming, have today formed a promising and efficient supporting organization for the organic farmers of the coastal part of our Balaga . We are very happy that organic farmers from different districts are participating in many programs of our forum and benefiting from our platform. The club, which was a forum for buying and selling agricultural products, has been doing various public works such as organic farming information workshop, home gardening revolution, health week, agriculture fair, jackfruit fair, home medicine camp, study tour to the homes of organic farmers by the team members of the club, etc. Now plans to set up a Farmer Produce Organization for the benefit of organic farmers. Use of organic products is a must now. A toxin free bowl is the urgent need of today. With this background, for people's health reasons, our team is doing a lot of work to get rid of chemical use and save and grow our land again. All volunteers who are selflessly involved in this are to be commended.
