Chemical Pesticides

The growing use of chemical pesticides haphazardly and their harmful influence on ecosystem and human health highlight the necessity for safe and sustainable organic production in our time. The article reviews a general overview of organic farming; the impact of organic farming on soil health and climate mitigation in comparison with conventional farming practice in Nepal. The article identifies the problems and possibilities of organic farming to resuscitate the pesticide-dominated conventional practice in Nepal. Organic farming now has been embedded in the natural agriculture policy in Nepal. Organic farming benefits in terms of environmental protection along with better living health. Various governmental and non-governmental bodies, farmers, and individuals are working to promote organic farming in Nepal. With the increase in awareness of health and environmental concerns, the adoption of organic agriculture and the demand for organic agricultural products is increasing. It holds a great prospect in countries like ours where an integrated crop-livestock system is still prevalent in many parts of the country. As a result, an organic farming system in Nepal must be thoroughly investigated and supported through proper regulations and tactics. It is urged to supplant pesticide-based conventional farming with organic farming that leads towards agricultural sustainability for the upcoming generation.

The Village

Currently, there are a number of negative consequences of the moratorium that need to be addressed immediately, amendments to existing legislation because the moratorium hinders rural development and agriculture, prevents the redistribution of land resources to more efficient owners and producers, reduces rent and owners' incomes, and limits access to credit resources. Under such conditions, there is no land market, farmers and small landowners have no incentive to invest. As a result, a significant part of land plots is leased by large companies, which have a significant impact on the social structure of the village. Land productivity is far from Ukraine's potential, as long-term investments are needed to improve it. Foreign investors, companies with the necessary knowledge and equipment, are reluctant to invest in Ukraine due to imperfect legal guarantees. A favorable legal climate is needed to improve the agricultural sector. In turn, lifting the moratorium could lead to economic growth. But it should be remembered that lifting the moratorium on land is largely not an economic but a political decision, as there is a risk of mass purchase of Ukrainian lands by foreigners, resulting in the complete loss of ownership and control of their territory. Thus, analyzing the current legislation of Ukraine, scientific publications of famous scientists, economists, politicians, lawyers, given their positive and negative statements about the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land, we can conclude that there are both threats and prospects for a land moratorium.

The Impact

<p>All over the world, including Poland, interest in the organic farming is growing. It is based on an attempt to minimize human impact on the environment while maintaining the natural functionality and productivity of the agricultural system. At the same time, every human activity in the natural environment results in greater or lesser changes in the soil ecosystem. Organic farming also has an impact on physical and chemical parameters and soil biological activity. These changes should be monitored and considered in the context of long-term land management. This review focuses on the impact of the organic farming system on soil biological activity and diversity of soil microorganisms.</p>

Irrigation System Management

A good irrigation system management is needed to meet the water needs of agricultural land through a system of providing and distributing water appropriately. The application of wells conducted on partner farmers' lands is intended to collect water from secondary channels to meet crop water needs during the dry season which will have an impact on planting intensity. The purpose of this activity is to create an alternative irrigation pattern through the manufacture of well-conducted irrigation technology that functions to store and distribute water, especially in the dry season. The method used in the implementation of this activity is the method of lecturing or socializing and making well-conducted. The result of this community service that the community in Walelagama District can implement an organic farming system following established rules by taking into account the need for plant water and can improve cropping patterns with good and correct organic farming methods that have an impact on the surrounding environment without depending on the rainy season.

The changes of the soil’s humus soil within the rural areas are investigated for the organic farming system. The most significant impact of organic agriculture on humus content over 55% was observed on soddy podzolic soils (V>75%), the lowest –7,5% on typical chernozem (V≈16%). Changes in the qualitative composition of humus for the introduction of various types of organic substrates are analyzed.

The Impact

While there is growing recognition of the positive role played by organic farming in the reduction of the negative externalities due to conventional agriculture, there is uncertainty about the effect of the latter on the economic performance of the farms. In this scenario, the present paper aims at investigating the effect of organic farming on technical efficiency in Italian olive farms. A cross-section dataset was analyzed through the stochastic frontier function, where the adoption of organic farming was explicitly modeled. Then, to obtain an unbiased estimate of the impact of organic farming on technical efficiency, a propensity score matching method was implemented. The findings reveal that organic farming increases technical efficiency in Italian olive farms by approximately 10%. The highest impact of organic farming is observed in small farms. As for the propensity to become organic, we found that the production and the direct sales of a higher quality of gross marketable output, as well as the intensity of labor and machines, increase the probability to adopt organic farming. Conversely, farm localization, the availability of family labor, and financial capital discourage conversion to the organic farming system.
