Organic farming is the type of agricultural production that only uses biological resources, So it is also called as biological farming. It uses biofertilizers, Vermicompost, green leaf manures, and crop rotation for sustainable farming. Because of this environment-friendly type of agricultural production, there is an immense need for this. It reduces environmental pollution and does not use chemical fertilizers. Therefore there is a huge scope for organic farming in India.
- India has traditionally been the land of agriculture, but with the increased awareness of food safety and health effects caused by synthetic fertilizers, market availability has risen.
- The high-quality products increase demand in local market as well as globally.
- Most importantly the use of organic farming increases the farmer’s net income, and export ratio, thus helping in the rise of the Indian economy.
- In the Indian food market, the use of organic food is expected to increase over the years.
- The production rate of organic farming is lower compared to conventional farming, and it has a higher market price.
- Organic farming uses biofertilizers and excludes the use of chemicals, which increases soil fertility and crop production.
- The use of precision agriculture in India enables the farmers to manage and monitor the crops, which increases crop productivity, prevents difficulty in farming, and increases net income.
- Organic farming helps to reduce health problems caused by chemical fertilizers and these environment-friendly products reduce the risk of soil pollution, water pollution, and global warming.
- The increase in soil increases the crop yield and maintains the agro-environment balance.

Technology significantly enhances healthcare in rural areas by increasing access, improving diagnostics, and facilitating education. Telemedicine bridges the gap between rural patients and urban specialists, allowing for remote consultations and reducing the need for travel. For instance, India’s eSanjeevani platform has provided millions of teleconsultations, ensuring continuous healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mobile health (mHealth) apps enable health monitoring and management, sending reminders for medication and appointments. In sub-Saharan Africa, the M-Pesa mobile payment system supports healthcare payments, improving access to services.
Portable diagnostic devices, such as handheld ultrasound machines, enable accurate diagnoses in remote areas. Programs like Teleradiology Solutions in India allow rural clinics to send scans to urban centers for expert analysis, ensuring timely and accurate diagnosis.
These technological advancements collectively enhance healthcare delivery, making it more accessible, efficient, and effective for rural populations.
