Call Out…

Basanto Ray, Nalbari, Assam

“I joined organic program. We already did no pesticide. Only sometimes urea. Now urea also stopped. Crops are good. But price is same.”

Reality Translation Layer.

Basanto, for you, farming practice has not changed much. You were already near-organic by habit. Vermi compost now replaces urea. Soil is fine. Yield is fine. Nothing dramatic happened.

Am I alone or someone is holding my hand!

Government is holding your hand partly. Training, one record-keeping person, small money for vermi compost. But no one is holding your hand in market. Selling is still your headache.

Is it really worthwhile or just cosmetics?

For you, organic is useful for soil and self-respect. Not for income. Without buyer paying extra, organic stays practice change, not money change.
