38 Learn what other local farmers are raising on their farms. You%u2019ll get a better idea of what local shoppers are buying from this. You can better prepare your land for it by deciding which specific farm products you will grow.6. Start Your Market Search:If you grow organic food on your farm and don%u2019t know where to sell it once it%u2019s been harvested, you%u2019re going to have a lot of problems. Not every wholesaler needs food that was grown organically. Additionally, if they are prepared to make a purchase from you, they won%u2019t give you the price of the actual worth of produce.Therefore, you must have a firm understanding of your target market before you consider engaging in organic farming. Which market will you sell your product in? It will be very simple for you to sell the product after harvesting if you have some idea in this regard.7. Look Over Your Organic Farm and Resources.It%u2019s likely that you already have land available for use in your organic farming enterprise. But keep in mind that you need good water and soil, mainly because plants require these as a minimum to thrive. Check the soil type on your farm to see if it is suitable for growing the produce you have chosen. Additionally, see how much water is available. You must make sure the water you are using is safe and does not contain any harmful chemicals.Check for sunlight penetration on your farm as well. Your land must receive enough sunlight on every square inch of it because healthy plant growth depends on it.8. Take Good Care of Your Crop:As opposed to conventional farming, organic farming requires more time and attention. Depending on the plants and farm conditions, specific methods need to be taken into consideration. Additionally, not every plant on the farm could necessarily benefit from the organic farming technique.2. Acquire an Organic Certification:One of the key steps in beginning your organic farming is getting the certification. We are going to assume that you have the land you need to start an organic farm. If you don%u2019t already own a piece of land, you can always rent it out or, if your finances allow it, buy it. The following can be the goals for obtaining organic certification: %u2022 to satisfy domestic demand for organic food %u2022 to send the goods to other businesses for export3. Site Selection for Organic Farming:Any venture%u2019s success is critically influenced by its location. The success of your organic farming endeavour in India depends on the region. Since clean water is the most essential resource for crop growth and health, the organic farming location should be close to a source of it. It is much more difficult to manage the irrigation measures in organic farming if your water source is far away. This may seem like a boring thought to have as an introduction, but it is necessary for productive work on your farm. The ability to manage the farm is further enhanced by the proximity of the organic farming region to the commercial district. The proximity of the organic farm to the market allows for simple selling communication. Additionally, it saves money on shipping supplies to the farm.4. Application Of Fertiliser, Pest and Disease ManagementChemical pesticides and fertilisers are a viable option for conventional farming, as we previously discussed. While it undoubtedly produces results, it also has negative effects on both the environment and the human body. Therefore, it is recommended that you have knowledge of how to make organic fertilizer and pesticide in your farm%u2019s vicinity before beginning organic farming. Utilizing organic inputs ensures that the product has no residues and is therefore safe for consumption by humans. Pesticides: Neem tree branches or leaf powder and datura plant powder can be combined and boiled to create highly toxic and concentrated organic pesticides. Once made, it can be diluted and sprayed on the soil. DAP can be replaced by a mixture of cow dung, cow urine, jaggery, gram flour, and fertile soil from nearby trees or rivers, which acts as an organic fertiliser (DAP). The mixture can improve soil texture and contains both nitrogen and phosphorus. A good micronutrient solution for plants that can treat all deficiencies is a mixture of neem kernel powder, jaggery, and waste decomposer liquid (ready to buy on the market).5. Select The Appropriate Crops to GrowThere%u2019s a good chance you don%u2019t have enough land to grow a variety of crops. Even if you do, you must still describe the kinds of crops you intend to grow on your farm. These might include herbs, vegetables, food crops, flowers, or other kinds of plants. Don%u2019t just select any crop or produce because you like it. Learn what produce is favoured in your area by conducting market research. Determine which farm products are most successful at selling. You don%u2019t want to spend your time, energy, or labour growing food that no one in your community wants to purchase.planting vegetables and herbs without using soil for health38
