What are benefits of farming?


                                
farming creates opportunity to lift people out of poverty in developing nation. over approx 65% of the world in agriculture. Farming creates mor jobs, beganing with farmer's, and continuing with farm equipment makers, food processing plants , transportation, infrastructure and manufacturing.

Farming for a  living is hard work . Even with a part time off farm job, we work hard at the farming part for not a lot of money. Farming feels great when things are going smoothly. 

Benefits 

  • Earley agriculture
  • Modern agriculture opportunity
  • Development in farming sustainability
  • Farmer improve thier communities

what is natural Farming? How is it different from organic farming?



Natural agriculture farming is a system where the laws of nature are applied to agriculture farming practices. This method works with the natural biodiversity area, encouraging the complexity of living organisms, both plants, and animals that each particular ecosystem to thrive along with food plants.
                                             

similarities between natural farming and organic farming:


  • Natural and organic both are chemical-free and more or less poison-free farming methods.
  • Both systems discourage farmers from using any chemical fertilizers, pesticides on plants, and in all agriculture practices.     
  • Both farming methods encourage farmers to use local breeds of seeds, and native varieties of vegetables, grains, pulses, and other crops.
  • Organic and natural farming methods promote nonchemical and homemade pest control methods.

  A key difference between natural farming and organic farming:


  • In organic farming, organic fertilizer and manure like compost, vermicompost cow dung manure, etc.are used and added to farmlands from external sources.
  • In natural farming, neither chemical nor organic fertilizer is added to the soil.
  • organic farming still requires basic agro practices like plowing, writing, mixing of manures, weeding, etc.
  • Organic farming is still expensive due to the requirement of bulk manures, and it has an ecological impact on surrounding environments.
  • There are many working models of natural farming all over the world, the zero budget natural farming is the most popular model in India.

Plantation farming?

                                              


 Plantation farming was a system of agriculture in which large farms in India and harvest cotton, rice, sugar, tobacco, and other farm produce for trade and export.

 In plantation farming crops were planted on a large scale with usually just one major plant species growing.

    Facts about plantation farming

 Crops were planted on a large scale with usually just one major plant species growing. The economy of plantation farming was based on agriculture mass production requiring a large labor force.

 Plantation farming specialized in the growth of just one major plant species.

 The crops ideally suited to plantation farming in south India were cotton, tobacco, rice, sugar, cane, and indigo.

 The mass production of crops required suitable transport systems for the goods to market. the waterways of south India a natural transport system.

 The reason that the system of planataion farming sprang up in south India was due to the climate of the regions.

 Plantation farming requires a tropical or subtropical region. plantation crops were determined by soil.the fertile soil of the south kinda was highly suited to the growth of plants used in plantation farming.

 The longer a crops harvest period, the more efficient was plantation farming. typical plantation ranged from 500 to 900 acres. each acre produced about 5000 plants.

 Plantation farming required minimum inputs from the owners -overseers were hired to manage the slaves and crop production.

 There was limited machinery available to helps with the arduous work related to plantation farming -the work was all done by the slaves.

future of agriculture?

                                                   Board, School, Immediately, Soon, Equal, In The Future

   Future agriculture will use sophisticated technologies such as robots, temperature and moisture sensors, aerial images, and GPS technology, these advanced devices, and precision agriculture and robotics systems will allow farms to be more profitable, efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly.
                                               

 The future of agriculture?

Drip irrigation:
 
 Agriculture accounts for 70% of all water usage. the agriculture industry needs to focus on improving water quality and also address water scarcity. this water conscious solution also translates into economic saving for farmers.

Precision farming:

 Many things can happen over the course of a growing season. precision farming technologies can help eliminate uncertainty at least further reduce risks. precision farming involves gathering data via connected hardware like GPS-equipped tractor or sensors.

Drones in agriculture:

 Imagine a drone that, in addition to mapping the cropping area, will also example: identify where the weeds are, which type they are , disease, and localize the application of agrochemicals.

Focus on soil health:

 Soil health could very well be the next frontier in farming. while we know the benefits of reduced tillage in preserving soils and preventing erosion and moisture loss, we are still in our infancy regarding the complexities of the soil biome.

Enhanced hybridization:

 The use of hybrid seeds enables better heterosis in unfavorable soil and climatic condition such as saline soils and rainfed ecosystems. better water stress tolerance in hybrids endured good yields even in case of low rainfall as witnessed over the last few years

 Short duration hybrids produced more in less duration and thus consume less water.hybrid seeds with inbuilt traits can provide additional disease tolerance.

what is Organic Farming?

                                      

 
    Organic farming is an agriculture system that originated early in the 20th century in reaction to rapidly changing farming practices. certified organic agriculture accounts for approximately 69 million hectares globally.
                                                                     
   

  what is organic farming?

  • the organic farming system in India is not new and is being followed from ancient times.it is a method of a farming system that primarily aimed at cultivating the land and reading crops in such a way, as to keep the soil alive and in good health by use of organic wastes.
  • as per the definition of organic farming "organic farming is a system which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic inputs and the maximum extent feasible rely upon crop rotation, crop residues, animal manures and biological system of nutrients mobilization and plant protection.
  • organic products are grown under a system of agriculture without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides with an environmentally and socially responsible approach.
  • India is bestowed with a lot of potentials to produce all varieties of organic products due to its various agro climate regions.

dairy farming

         what is dairy farming?

  
  dairy farming is a type of agribusiness involved in the production of milk from domestics animals. the plant which processes milk and produces milk products is called a dairy.animal which is used for milk production in the dairy farm are called dairy animals.succes in dairy farm business depend upon several factors. some important information for dairy farming business is given bellow.

                                       

           advantages of dairy farming

types of farming?

                                                       
    1- Terrace cultivation:
  • The hill and mountain slopes are cut to form terraces and the land is used in the same way as in permanent.
  • Soil is also checked due to terrace formation on hill slopes.
                                            

    2- Crops rotation:
  • The selection of crops mainly depends upon the rotation of local soil conditions and experience and the understanding of farmers.
  • Highly fertilizer intensive crops like watermelon and tomatoes are rotated with care crops.
                                                          

   3- Mixed and multiple agriculture:
  • Multiple farming is used to denote the practice of growing two or more crops together.
  • Mixed farming is referred to as the cultivation of crops and the raising of animals simultaneously.
  • In such a case, a number of crops having varying maturing periods are sown at the same time.
                                                         

   4- Dry agriculture:
  • Growing crops without irrigation in areas that receive an annual rainfall of 800 mm -400 mm or even less.
                                                          

   5- Plantation agriculture:
  • Plantation farming is bush or tree farming. It was introduced by the Britisher in the 19th century.
  • It is singel crops farming of muskmelon, watermelon, tea, coconut, okra, etc.
  • Plantation agriculture is export-oriented agriculture.
                                                          

  6- Shifting agriculture:
  • In this type of agriculture, first of all, a piece of forest land is cleared by felling trees and burning of trunk and branches.
  • After the land is cleared, crops are grown for two to three years, and then the land is abandoned as the fertility of the soil decrease.
  • The farmers then move to new areas and the process is repeated.
