The Natural Organic Farmers’ Association (NOFA), a division of the Andhra Chamber of Commerce and Industry Federation, is organising field demonstrations and training in organic farming at the agricultural fields belonging to Kusalava International Limited at Adavinekkalam in Agiripalli mandal from March 21.
NOFA treasurer Ch. R.K. Prasad stated in a press release that the programmes would be conducted on third Saturdays of every month to spread awareness on the utility of organic farming to the people. Farmers would be shown the procedures that have to be adopted for growing crops the organic way.
The organic farming methods which involve relatively low investments were being popularised for the benefit of society at a time when indiscriminate use of fertilizers and other chemicals in growing crops endangered the public health, Mr. Prasad observed.
