    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).

    Improving how farmers, especially smallholders, access markets and ensuring they get fair prices in the Indian subcontinent needs a well-rounded approach. First, we must improve basic structures affecting their day-to-day practices like roads, cold storage, and connections to markets. This helps farmers sell their perishable goods efficiently and reach more buyers.

    Government-backed groups, also known as farmer-producer organizations (FPOs) are also crucial. They bring together small farmers to sell their crops collectively, giving them more power to negotiate prices directly with buyers. FPOs also provide farmers with technology, loans, and market info, helping them make smarter decisions, thus empowering them.

    Using digital platforms and online selling can make agricultural markets fairer. These tools cut out middlemen and show real-time prices, ensuring farmers get paid better for their hard work. It also encourages fair competition among buyers.

    Encouraging farmers to grow different crops and add value by processing food locally can boost their income and give them stability.

    Lastly, strong rules are needed to protect farmers’ rights and settle disputes fairly. This ensures they aren’t taken advantage of in the market. By doing these things, the Indian subcontinent can build a more fair and inclusive system that helps small farmers thrive.

    To do organic farming in India without hurting the environment, start by using natural fertilizers like compost and cow dung instead of chemical ones. These keep the soil healthy. Rotate your crops each season to maintain soil fertility and prevent pests. Mulching with straw or leaves can help retain moisture and prevent evaporation. Instead of synthetic pesticides, use natural pest control measures such as neem oil or the introduction of beneficial insects. Drip irrigation and rainwater collection can help to save water. Grow a variety of crops and create habitats for beneficial creatures to promote a healthy environment. Avoid synthetic pesticides and instead use organic approaches to manage soil and pests. This way, healthy crops can be grown without hurting the environment and supporting sustainable agricultural methods.

    Crop yield is nothing but the measurement of crop produced per area. And soil health refers to check the health conditions of the soil. Increasing crop yield helps you to sell the crops in bulks from the output of the crop. There are many different ways where you can increase crop production and get profits. They include :

    1. IRRIGATION :

    Water is an important element for survival. Seventy per cent ( 70% ) of the human body consists of water for a better life cycle and health. And plants consists of 90%.

    Just like that, even crops need a proper availability of water. And the process of supplying water to the crop is known as IRRIGATION. It has two important and different types. Sprinkler & Drip system.

    In the Sprinkler method, water is distributed from a particular central location by either sprinklers from the moving platform or by overhead high-pressure sprinklers. Whereas in Drip Irrigation, each drop of water is delivered near the roots of the crop or plants & is high maintenance.

    2. CROP ROTATION :

    Crop rotation is basically planting different crop on a particular piece of land in different seasons. It is very much required to maintain the crop yield as well as helps in organic crop production. Because it helps in eliminating and preventing of insect pests, weed problems, soil diseased and to keep the soil healthy. It also helps in increasing the soil fertility.

    3. FERTILIZER :

    Fertilizers are usually known as the natural or chemical element that is applied to soil to provide nutrients to the plants & its roots. Fertilizer helps to provide nutrients to the soil as well. When the crops are harvested, it will take the nutrients along with the crop. But when the soul is fertilized, nutrients will remain in the soil & also to the crop as well. Fertilizers can be natural and chemical. This will improve the productiveness in the crop and will maintain the crop yield.

    4. WEED CONTROL :

    Weed control is basically preventing abd cutting off unwanted plants from the crop location. Controlling weed from the crop location will help the crop recieve good amount of water, light & nutrients. Weed control can be done in different ways, such as, using weedicides; agricultural practices like ploughing, burning and etc; plucking out the weed plants with the your own hands or with trowel.

    This method will also help in the good crop growth & yield.

    5. SOIL CHECK :

    Every other crop has its own preference in checking the soil with its pH level, capacity of holding water, organic content and etc. To grow healthy and productive crops, understanding of the soil conditions according to the crop capacity is essential. Usually farmers use some techniques to check the soil condition. According to the study, now a days loT soil sensors technique is providing the insight details of the soil condition.

    Checking the soil conditions before cropping will help in productive growth of crop which will increase in crop yielding.

    Therefore, above mentioned are some of the important aspects to notice to get a good crop yield and check the soil health.
