| Summary, etc |
The paper presents the perception of organic farmers towards organic farming and organic certification. It is a short period study with a sample size of 60 organic farmers selected by simple random sampling and snowball sampling method at two taluks of Bengaluru, i.e., Nelamangala and Yelahanka taluk. Basic details of organic farmers, area of land holding under organic cultivation, kind of crop grown, benefits and problems faced by them have been discussed for understanding the perception of organic farmers toward organic farming. To understand the perception on organic certification, information like awareness on certification, benefit and problems faced by certification, etc. are discussed. Findings reveal that many small farmers have adopted organic farming mainly due to the training received from different organizations. Farmers have found the cost of cultivation in organic farming to be less compared to conventional farming. Also, almost half of the farmers have undergone organic certification process in the study area and have obtained benefits both in the form of profit and health of family & soil. The scope of organic farming can be further increased by integrating the Government and other related organizations supporting organic farming. Also awareness on organic farming among rural youth may be created to avoid migration. – Reproduced |
