Call Out…

Abhinav Rathore, 61, Alwar (near Delhi)

“I am not a farmer by birth. I am an ex-banker. Farming itself took years to understand. Now everyone says organic. Daughter from US. Friends in Ministry say yes. Local expert says money. Another expert says pain. I am confused.”

Reality Translation Layer.

Abhinav, you already run a diversified farm. Crops, spices, vegetables, fruits, trees, cows. You are not chasing yields alone. You already absorb risks. Organic here means discipline, documentation, slower learning, more observation, less correction speed. Not magic. Not shortcut.

________________________________________

Am I alone or someone is holding my hand!

You are not alone, but support is fragmented. Daughter gives vision. Ministry gives policy comfort. Local expert gives optimism. International expert gives caution. None of them will stand with you during yield dips, paperwork pressure, or market rejections. That part is yours.

Is it really worthwhile or just cosmetics?

For you, organic is meaningful, not cosmetic. Not because it will double income. But because your lifestyle allows patience. You save living costs. You value learning. You are not desperate for cash flow. If you expect slow returns and long pain, organic can fit you. If you expect profit excitement, it will disappoint.
