Call Out…

Rupinder Singh, Dabwali

“I do paddy–wheat on 15 acres. Free water. Free power. Subsidy fertilizer. Government buys everything. My cousin in Canada talks organic. Here, nothing works like that.”

Reality Translation Layer.

Rupinder, your system is not accidental.

Everything around you — MSP, procurement, canal water, electricity, fertilizers — is built for paddy and wheat.

Your risk is low. Your income is predictable.

Organic here is not just changing inputs. It means breaking away from a fully supported system. That is a big decision, not a moral one.

Am I alone or someone is holding my hand!

You are completely alone.

No local buyer asking for organic paddy.

No storage, no premium market, no transition support.

Even professor who tried here returned to chemicals.

Your village ecosystem does not support organic — yet.

Is it really worthwhile or just cosmetics?

For your 15 acres — organic is not worthwhile today.

For your one acre where you grow food for home, you are already organic — quietly, sensibly.

That balance makes sense.

Large-scale organic without market change here will be cosmetic and risky, not wise.
