Let’s understand what is natural farming and organic farming.
Natural farming : Natural farming is the method of farming in which farming is done with no use of manufactured input or equipment and no use of any pesticides and chemicals.
Organic farming : Organic farming is the method of farming in which farming is done without using any chemicals or pesticides.
Natural farming and organic farming have similar objectives but differ in their approaches and practices.
Following is the difference between Natural farming and organic farming
1. In Natural Farming there is no use of any fertilizers but in organic farming organic fertilizers such as Compost, manure, green manure, worm casting etc. are used.
2. Natural farming method is not expensive whereas organic farming can be expensive.
3. Natural farming can not be use to produce the products ( fruits, vegetables) commercially while organic farming can be done to produce the products commercially.
4.Natural farming can not be done in large scale while organic farming can be done in large scale.
5. Natural farming products does not have any certification while organic farming certification in India is govern by NPOP i.e. National programme for organic products.
6. Natural farming does not involve practices such as ploughing, tilling using of herbicides, pesticides while in organic farming use of organic herbicides, pesticides, ploughing, tilling is done.
These are some of the differences in Natural farming and organic farming.
(Extra info.- NPOP i.e. National programme for organic products comes under ministry of Commerce and industry and Sikkim was declared as fully organic state in 2016).

Climate change poses significant dangers due to its wide-ranging impacts on the environment, human health, and global economies. Rising global temperatures lead to more frequent and severe weather events, such as hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves, causing extensive damage to infrastructure, displacing populations, and disrupting food and water supplies. Melting polar ice caps and glaciers contribute to rising sea levels, threatening coastal communities with increased flooding and erosion.
Ecosystems and biodiversity are at risk as changing temperatures and weather patterns disrupt habitats, leading to species extinction and loss of biodiversity. This imbalance can have cascading effects on food chains and ecosystem services, vital for human survival.
Human health is directly impacted by climate change, with an increase in heat-related illnesses, respiratory problems from poor air quality, and the spread of vector-borne diseases like malaria and dengue fever. Additionally, climate change exacerbates social and economic inequalities, as vulnerable populations, particularly in developing countries, are less equipped to adapt to these changes.
Economic consequences include damage to agriculture, fisheries, and tourism industries, leading to loss of livelihoods and increased poverty. The cumulative effect of these changes threatens global stability, making climate change one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Urgent action is needed to mitigate these impacts and build resilient communities.
