Humans have been farming almost since the very beginning of civilization. As civilization grew and the population continued to grow with it, these farms became even more essential to the perpetuation of the species. Unfortunately, our species unchecked growth has wreaked havoc on the natural world. Biodiversity, the variety, and the variability of life on Earth have been adversely impacted by many aspects of civilization, but commercial farming is one of the most egregious. On the other hand, organic farming has had a positive effect on biodiversity

Research from the Universities of Leeds and York has recently revealed that biodiversity on organic farms is far greater than it is on conventional farms. Among the evidence cited in the paper, the researchers have seen an overall 12 percent increase in biodiversity. Organic farms were found to have more plant diversity and greater floral diversity, as well as more earthworms, insects, butterflies, and even increased numbers of some types of birds.

What this means is that organic farms are better equipped to keep their environmental impact lower than that of commercial farms. This has to do with the practices involved in organic farming and the environmentally-conscious methodologies that render their agricultural process so much more eco-friendly.

The same is true for organic and regenerative animal farming, which, in some cases, allows for the free range of domesticated animals. By allowing their animals to range and become part of the surrounding environment, organic farmers are able to utilize the natural grazing behaviors and fertilization, erm, methods of the animals they raise. Nature is still being contained, but it is also being allowed to flourish in a more natural way than on non-organic animal farms and factory farms.

There's a reason that the bees and bugs and birds thrive so well in and around organic farms. The main reason for this is the lack of chemical pesticides. Pesticides like Roundup are cancer-causing chemical concoctions that not only harm the insects that try to take a small share of our crops, but they also cause harm to the humans that rely on those crops for survival. These chemicals, in particular, wreak havoc on bee populations, which are essential for pollinating plants and crops the world over.

Without these chemicals, crops can still thrive, and eco-friendly methods are undertaken to repel insects rather than annihilate them. More insects mean more birds, who in turn, eat the insects and keep the populations down. This cycle is part of a working degree of biodiversity that human beings have convinced themselves is unnecessary for growing crops. It may be less efficient, but it certainly isnt detrimental. Although, some folks might think otherwise.

Organic farming utilizes soil conservation tactics and practices that help the nutrients and microorganisms thrive. Many organic farms utilize compost, natural fertilizer, and no-till farming practices that eliminate or lessen soil degradation over time. This means that even if organic farming were to require even more land to collect similar yields to commercial farming, it would not need to find new land as often.

So rather than utilizing slash-and-burn farming methodologies that strip whole swaths of land of all nutrients after a few growing seasons, organic farmers are often sensible of the delicate balance of the natural world. They know that earthworms help maintain soil, and that insect and bird waste can help it remain arable. It is a type of conservation, which in turn helps build or rebuild biodiversity amongst the creatures that live there.

Despite the evidence of its successes in terms of biodiversity, there are naysayers out there that believe that organic farmings positive impact is little more than the fluke result of a hippie-dippie practice that is not aware of how insignificant it really is. Several experts, including Professor Tim Benton, who was a lead researcher on the Leeds project, have drawn less than stellar conclusions about the prospect of increased organic farming.

Article continues below advertisement

Prof. Benton states that while organic farms may be seen as wildlife-friendly, but the benefits to birds, bees, and butterflies do not compensate for the lower yields produced. He goes on to conclude that to produce the same amount of organic food as those produced by conventional means, you would need to use twice the amount of land for agriculture. It means that organic farming, while more environmentally-friendly in the long run, still has a significant environmental impact on the planet.

Organic farming may not be the catch-all solution to our environmental problems, but its certainly helpful in returning the world to a state of balance. Our growing population and the demands upon our overall yields of crops will continue to necessitate more streamlined and effective farming processes, but that does not preclude adopting practices that take care of our environment rather than incrementally stripping it of the very things it needs to survive.

Mushroom Powders Market Demand, Growth, Opportunities and Analysis Of Top Key Player - LionLowdown

The stalemate between the Centre and the protesting farmers over the three farm reform laws -- Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm services Act, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act -- is going on for over a month now, with no agreement in sight. The government has repeatedly assured farmers that the reforms will prove to be beneficial for them. However, the farmers fear that the new bills will erode the existing MSP (Minimum support price) system, make the government-controlled mandis (APMC) redundant, and more importantly, will allow private players to enter the market which will diminish their bargaining powers.

Under such circumstances, to end the impasse, the government will have to think of 'creative solutions', suggested Gauri Sarin, a social entrepreneur, and the Founder Director of Bhumijaa, a platform for organic agripreneur. In an interview with News18, Sarin said, "...the solutions will have to be more creative, reach more farmers, differentiate the poorer and richer farmers, and build MSP as a tool for real change. The corporatisation of Agri-sector is a double-edged sword. Investment in Agri diversity cold chains is equally essential. Government has to balance the need for supporting localisation and for scale to make agri-sector both competitive and remunerative for farmers at the same time keeping the consumer centrestage. "

Sarin added that just because private players will be entering the market doesn't always mean that it would affect all farmers adversely. "There are examples where private players have helped too. In Bihar and Odisha farmers have managed to organise buyers for them and created a demand-based system successfully," she said.

Pointing out that even before the farm reform bills, there were farmers who ran successful businesses outside the mandi frame-work and MSP system, Sarin said, "If you ask me from an organic farming point of view, then I would say that most organic players don't use the existing system at all. They neither avail the MSP nor do they sell in mandis. They have always used their private networksmany organic farmers sell directly. So, organic farmers have already shown the way of breaking away from the mandi system."

However, she warned that in a free economy, big private players are likely to hold the bargaining chip. Therefore, the responsibility falls on the government to take care of the 'poorer farmers' and level the playing fields.

"... a free economy model will always affect some people negatively, and my personal view is that the real farmers -- who have less land, and not many other ways to earn a livelihood except farming-- will need the government to take care of them because they will face poverty. They need to be brought up to scale," she said.

"At this point, the farmers don't know what the future entails for them. Different types of competitive parameters are likely to come in. Farmers are neither skilled to handle that kind of competition nor are they capable of negotiations. Therefore, for any change in the agriculture sector to work, farmers need to be a part of the process of change - from education to linkage." she added.

Sarin, who has been training organic farmers, and women agripreneurs through her platform Bhumijaa said that another crucial aspect of the agriculture sector that calls for urgent attention is the need to acknowledge and enhance the role that women play in it, be it as farmers, food processors, or livestock caretakers. A push to women in agri-entrepreneurship will not only give a boost to the sector but will also improve rural livelihood, and create many micro-enterprises.

Sarin claimed that it is time that India set a goal to go organic for the sake of its environment and the collective health of the populace. "If India plans that in the next 15 years it will go organic and/or natural, it will not only help us mitigate climate change and introduce food diversity but also help the country in terms of wealth," she explained.

She prescribed that India needs food forests, and at least 10 per cent of farmers in every state should start creating food forests now. Food forests allow multi-layer farming in which fruit trees (which give fruits year after year) and other layers of vegetables, grains and pulses production can happen simultaneously. If we start creating food forests in our eco-system, then we will automatically create a very high-quality carbon sink, which will have far-reaching impact in terms of mitigating climate change." said Sarin.

"Every state should plan certain districts to go organic and places like Uttarakhand, and Himachal, which already have a propensity towards organic methods, should embrace them wholeheartedly. Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana have done a fabulous job when it comes to organic farming, so has Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Haryana is also likely to follow suit soon. In Punjab, there is Kheti Virasat Mission, but it is still in a very nascent state. The kind of changes that Andhra Pradesh has brought about is inspiring because if a state of that size can transform, so can others," she added.

While the agricultural lands in India are huge (more than 60 per cent), organic farms do not make-up even a minuscule portion of it. "The agricultural landmass is huge in India and if we start organic farming, and regenerating that agricultural landmass into biomass, with rich microbes, and maintaining soil moisture, it will make a substantial difference for the environment. Unfortunately, this doesn't hit people in the urban centres who are making decisions, simply because in the urban centres, there is no landmass to talk about, " pointed out Sarin.

Apart from the environment, another reason people have begun to choose organic food is because of health concerns. In urban sectors, many individuals, who have faced life-threatening diseases, have switched to organic food. While hunger was once a major problem for India, with an advanced PDS scheme, and a yield-based economy, we have been able to overcome that concern. However, malnourishment still plagues our country, and Sarin propounds that a big reason for it is the fact that food is grown with the help of chemicals, and therefore, lack nutritional value. "The nourishment problem, in fact, is high in urban centers too, because people are used to eating processed and junk food. We will have to move from a yield-based economy, to a nutrition-based economy, if we want to eradicate malnutrition successfully, pointed out Sarin, who has also started a platform called Living Without Medicine, which helps people make healthy food choices.

How Organic Farmers Have Shown the Way For Breaking Away From the Mandi, MSP System - News18

Bhopal : Governor Smt. Anandiben Patel said that agriculture universities must volunteer to supply organic inputs. Agricultural universities should implement the action plan to provide organic seeds, fertilizers and pesticides to farmers. She said that the need to supply organic inputs to farmers should be sorted out and supply should be arranged accordingly in the next two-three years. She told the scientists of Krishi Vigyan Kendra to ensure production of improved organic food grains, fertilizers and pesticides by farmers so that other farmers from nearby areas also get motivated. Smt. Patel was addressing farmers at the Organic Advanced Agriculture Programme held at Panwarkheda in Hoshangabad today. Minister for Farmer Welfare and Agriculture Development Shri Kamal Patel was also present on the occasion.

Governor Smt. Patel said that the products produced by using chemical fertilizers are very harmful for health. He said that if figures are to be considered, the number of people dying from cancer will be more than the deaths caused by any other infection. She said that efforts should be made with integrated vision for development. Successful production of organic manure, pesticides and nutrients from cow dung is being done in Gujarat. In Uttar Pradesh too, the project to produce organic products from cow dung of 10 thousand cows has begun. She stressed the need for integrated efforts for development She said that work is done in the villages aimed at integrated development, many problems will be solved. Citing the example of the problem of malnutrition, she said that if farmers start giving some vegetables in anganwadi and mid-day meal then children will start getting nutritious food. She said that children are the future of the country. Special attention will have to be paid to the health of women and girls because a healthy mother will give birth to a healthy child. She laid special emphasis on self-reliance of women for their empowerment and said that women self-help groups are a successful way to attain this. Governor Smt. Patel visited the exhibition of organic agricultural products at the programme venue and after interacting with the farmers, motivated them to sell their products by increasing its value. While appreciating the quality of organic products she encouraged them to sell their products at maximum retail price (MRP) instead of minimum support price (MSP).

Minister for Farmers Welfare and Agriculture Development Shri Kamal Patel said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has made farmers self-reliant. They have the right to sell their crop at maximum retail price (MRP), not the minimum support price (MSP). He said that till now there were many productive farmers, but due to few buyers, they could not get the right price for the crop. Now the farmer himself can sell his produce. He can get maximum retail price by forming a foodgrain producers association. He said that after 70 years of independence from the Swamitva Yojana, farmers are getting the right to free land. Now he too can establish his own business by taking loans from banks on the basis of his property. Shri Patel said that the indiscriminate use of chemical inputs has rendered the soil poisonous. Serious diseases like cancer are a byproduct of this. He said that the land needs to be treated. Therefore, in all agricultural science centres, OPDs will be run for land treatment during office hours. Agriculture scientists will visit villages and will advise farmers through chaupals, for which a toll free helpline will also be launched. He said that organic farming is the basis for a secure future for future generations.

Vice Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru Agricultural University, Shri P.K. Bisen said that the Panwarkheda Agriculture Research Centre was established in the year 1903. During this period, 53 advanced varieties of wheat were invented by the centre. Urging the farmers not to burn Narwai, he said that by obtaining bio-digester from the centre, the Narwai can be converted into organic manure in 15 days.

The programme comprised the demonstration of silk production technology by Silk Department, organic produce by Horticulture Department, agriculture organic product and organic production technology by Agriculture Department, fish production technology and schemes by Fisheries Department, organic agriculture and horticulture and cow-based agricultural production, bamboo and matikalaan by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Govindnagar Bankhedi, organic agriculture and agro-based products by Krishi Vigyan Kendra Harda, Narsinghpur, Betul and Agricultural College Pawarkheda, Animal Husbandry programmes and departmental schemes by Department of Animal Husbandry, organic produce by the farmers and organic farming by the Agricultural Engineering Department. On this occasion, former Assembly Speaker Shri Sitasaran Sharma and District Panchayat President Shri Kushal Patel were also present.

Experts have predicted that the pandemic would lead to seemingly-contradictory surges in sales for both health food and junk food. Whats at the root of this apparent paradox? New research suggests that the presence of a contagious disease elicits powerful emotions of fear and disgust, which push consumers towards more familiar food options whether thats a kale salad or a Big Mac. In this piece, the authors describe how this effect has driven purchasing behavior trends during the pandemic, as well as the implications of these trends for how consumer businesses should think about marketing and product strategy decisions right now.

Back in May, Unilevers CEO predicted that consumers would eat healthier during the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, the CEO of McDonalds remains confident theyll return to Big Macs and other familiar favorites.

Certainly, both cant be right.

Or can they?

Organic and healthy food sales are in fact surging but so are sales of cookies and salty snacks. After years of struggling to win over increasingly health-conscious consumers, well-known brands such as Oreos and Doritos have been selling more than ever in the last several months, and McDonalds Drive Thru business is booming.

So whats going on?

Evolutionary psychology offers a simple explanation: humans are wired to feel powerful emotions in response to contagious diseases, and these emotions affect consumer behavior in surprising ways. Our recent large-scale analyses and lab experiments confirmed that simultaneous surges in sales of both Big Macs and kale salads are logical expressions of two key emotions that consumers are experiencing right now: disgust and fear.

Past research has shown that people react to indications of contagious disease with disgust: we instinctively move away from someone sneezing in a crowded train car; we avoid people coughing violently on the street.

But its not just a matter of being repulsed. The possibility of contracting a contagious disease also elicits fear and a sense of loss of control, pushing us to seek the familiar and avoid the foreign.

To better understand the links between disease, emotion, and purchasing behaviors, we performed two large empirical analyses using data from the CDC, Google Flu Trends, and Nielsen, as well as four lab experiments examining how the presence of disease affected both emotional state and household purchases in four product categories: paper towels, junk food, soup, and batteries. In our experiments, we had participants read about either a contagious disease (the flu) or a non-contagious disease (heart failure), and then tested their preferences for familiar versus unknown products.

The results confirmed our hypothesis: thinking about a contagious disease increased both fear and disgust, and in response to these emotions, the participants attempted to regain control by seeking out the familiar brands they knew and trusted. Without even realizing it, people have been doing whatever they can to assert control over a chaotic world and that extends to their decisions in the food aisle.

Specifically, our empirical analyses found that households bought more of all the products we studied when disease was more present in their area, but they bought more familiar products at disproportionately higher rates. These findings can help to explain recent purchasing trends.

Booming organic foods sales may be appear to be at odds with long lines at the McDonalds Drive Thru, but our analysis suggests that these two seemingly-inconsistent trends are in fact reflections of the same emotional state: In the face of a contagious disease that elicits fear and disgust, consumers turn to the most familiar options (whether thats health food or junk food).

Even when there are no rational reasons to turn down unfamiliar options, our findings suggest that consumers are increasingly favoring familiar brands in many different product categories. For example, while people have been stocking up on more soup across the board during the pandemic, sales of more familiar soup brands such as Campbells have risen disproportionately. Similarly, our analyses found that right now, people are more likely to put traditional Oreos in their cart, rather than the trying out the latest new flavor. In the face of so much constant fear, an unfamiliar Oreo seems to be a risk that many consumers are simply unwilling to take.

What do these trends mean for brand marketers?

For one, while innovation is generally a good thing, right now might not the best time to start getting creative with consumer products. While you may be excited about advertising the latest potato chip or ice cream flavor, you might be better off waiting for a time when consumers are feeling a little less fearful.

On the product strategy side, our findings demonstrate the importance of focus. Restaurants and manufacturers may be facing capacity constraints due to social distancing requirements, but those limitations can also have a positive effect: they force organizations to concentrate on the products that consumers value most. The most successful companies have focused resources on their traditional bestsellers to meet increasing demand for these familiar products, rather than investing in new product lines or sales strategies. For example, after rolling back to a limited menu with just its most-cherished products, McDonalds reversed a decline in sales that began in 2013, and growth in its stock price has outpaced the S&P 500 since March.

In normal times, customers often make purchasing decisions based on practical considerations such as a products healthiness, value, or price. But when consumers feel uncertain or afraid, these practical concerns can become overwhelmed by their emotional reactions. In the face of a contagious disease in particular, fear and disgust shift peoples natural desire for familiarity and predictability into overdrive meaning that Big Macs become more popular again and Oreos fly off the shelf, even as sales of organic food surge. Understanding how emotions influence consumers choices is key to developing an effective marketing and sales strategy during the pandemic and beyond.

How does MAO Organic Farms and its nonprofit social enterprise model fit into Hawaiis agricultural sector?

During the past 150-plus years, Hawaiis agriculture has been dominated by industrial sugar, pineapple and GMO seed production. These agribusinesses have controlled local land and water systems to the detriment of growing/eating our own food. We feel organic, regenerative agriculture represents a more sustainable, ecological and just future for local agriculture we can supply local demand, and at the same time malama and aloha aina.

So yes, absolutely, nonprofit social enterprise holds great promise in scaling local organic agriculture. It can be mobilized to, for example, raise investment capital and conservation funds to acquire large tracts of prime land, and grow an agriculture sector that is environment- and people-friendly. It gives us time to regenerate soil, plant agroforestry systems (trees!), and, most importantly, to inspire and train a new generation of agroecological-minded young farmers. MAO is among a cadre of local organizations that have chosen to use this model (see http://www.hiready.net for many others).

What will your new processing facility be used for?

From the get-go we have tried to manage the entire farming process, from land regeneration and planting, to harvest, wash, packing, sales and distribution. Over the past 20 years, our wash/pack/refrigeration space has been a factor limiting our growth. The new processing facility will be much larger than our current facility, will have eight times more refrigeration space, and were introducing a fairly awesome conveyor wash system. All this will increase our food production and handling capacity tenfold, and enable us to radically increase our production of prepackaged items like our sassy and powerhouse salad mixes. We also intend to introduce a range of value-added products using fruit and vegetables weve grown.

How has the coronavirus pandemic changed the local market for fresh produce?

Its very sad how the coronavirus pandemic has hit the restaurant community. Small independent restaurants are super important. More than just providing great food, theyre our gathering/communing places and they deserved more government support to get them through this.

Our points-of-sale are diverse and include natural-foods stores, traditional groceries, farmers markets, CSA (community supported agriculture) and restaurants. When the pandemic hit in March we were able to pivot. Our direct-to-consumer CSA program tripled in size (mahalo, ohana), and we started to sell to institutions like the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center through the CARES Act.

One major takeaway from the past eight months is that local consumers seem even more committed to supporting local farms. For example, even in difficult times, our Kakaako farmers market sales have increased 40% since this time last year. If Hawaii can fully shift our farming mentally from a silver bullet, one product fits all approach to one that grows a biodiversity of organic food crops, I believe the local food movement will be more resilient in a crisis and present a real opportunity to diversify the economy.

What will it take for local farmers to compete successfully against mainland imports regarding price and product availability?

While farming is very risky, and there is a very thin margin, I think there are many local producers already successfully competing against imported foods whether its due to price or availability. Our experience working with Foodland and Whole Foods is that price is not the issue; more important is consistency, quality, an abundant supply, freshness, food safety, and then telling the story of who, why and how we grow food.

MAOs organic farm production and youth development mission are integrated: Theyre inseparable, and (thankfully) that seems important in this day and age, so we try to tell our story. The trend is really encouraging.Over the past 20 years, weve witnessed a massive switch toward supporting local organic, largely driven by the commitment of end consumers.

How do you persuade people to eat their vegetables?

Young people on the farm are generally curious and experimental, and we tend to always put food in front of them. They can take home our veggies, we cook on the farm together, they get to eat at local restaurants (when theyre open), and were always talking food. Last Friday during early harvest, we were discussing the best MAO veggies for tacos (the winners were cilantro and arugula). So its a process of engagement, empowerment and immersion.

Once our interns are in college classes like Hawaiian studies, they get to unravel the injustices in the industrial food system and theyre fully committed to eating a diversity of local organic food.

Personally, at home with our kids and grandkids, its all of these things, and we set a big table and cook/eat together.

BONUS THOUGHT

Of everything that MAO Farms produces, what is your favorite to grow? To eat?

(LOL) Cilantro and arugula. But thats this week; it changes often. Im still amazed that I put a seed in the ground and come back a few days later and its germinated into something that will feed people. The whole biological event still blows my mind.
