Lkaikndh; Editorial

Dear Reader

Organic farming is a way of farming, which excludes the use of chemical

fertilisers, insecticides, etc. It is primarily based on the principles of use of

natural organic inputs and biological plant protection measures. Organic farming

methods combine scientific knowledge and modern technology with traditional

farming practices based on thousands of years of agriculture. It relies heavily on

the natural break down of organic matter, using techniques like green manure

and composting, to maintain nutrients taken from the soil by the previous

crops. Government of India is taking result oriented strides to convert

conventional farming to organic by initiating so many schemes for its farmers.

It is hoped that fruits of organic farming will be tasted in near future by the

efforts of National Centre of Organic Farming, Integrated Nutrient Management

Division, Department of Agriculture & Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture,

Govt. of India.

In the current issue reprint of an article on Participatory Guarantee Organic

System –INDIA (PGS-INDIA) programme - A Free of cost organic certification

system is also presented which throws light on the process of certification

through Particpatory Guarantee System-India

Further a column on Farmer Training cum Field Demonstration Programme on

Organic Farming under “Sansad Aadarsh Gram Yojana” along with few training

reports is presented for readers’ information.

Beside these other columns of National and International happenings and

summary of important books are presented for information of readers.

To make this publication more colorful and informative I invite your participation

in the form of articles on research in organic farming area, field studies, success

stories of farmers and your comments and suggestions.

Dr. Krishan Chandra Chief Editor



Participatory Guarantee Organic System –

INDIA (PGS-INDIA) programme - A Free of

Cost Organic Certification System and

Global Scenario of PGS

Srinivasamurthy R, V. Praveen Kumar and Krishan Chandra National Centre of Organic Farming,

Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Ghaziabad, UP, 201 002

Organic certification is a process of certifying process of production which ensures the quality agriculture production process and products which are free from chemical residues and are demonstrated in the form of documented logo or a statement. Consumer can recognize the organic products by seeing the kind of certificate on it or type logos on the packing material. In India at present there are twenty five certification agencies or accreditation bodies working by authorization of APEDA, which perform the organic certification only for the purpose export of products. The third party certificate agencies are not given much importance for growth of domestic Indian organic market. The marginal and poor farmer are not able to offer this third party certification system since it is highly expensive and require huge documentation process which is not able to offer by farmer. Thus in order to promote domestic organic market growth and also to enable poor and marginal farmer for easy accession to organic certification, a free of cost organic certification system called Participatory Guarantee System –INDIA (PGS-INDIA) programme for organic certification has been launched in 2011 by Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India. The programme is implemented through through National Centre of Organic Farming (NCOF), Ghaziabad and its seven Regional Centres (Ghaziabad -Head Quarter, Bangalore, Nagpur, Jabalpur, Panchkula, Bhubaneswar &Imphal ). The system is based

on principles of participation, shared vision, trust, transparency, horizontality and networking. PGS is a locally applicable quality assurance system of self certification, implemented together by locally known small holder group of farmers, traders and consumers. Local farmer group is empowered to take decision on certification based peer appraisal conducted by farmers themselves as per compliance of PGS-India Standard. Local Group (LG) A farmer local group should comprise of minimum 5 members belonging to same village or close villages with continuous territory have to register under any Regional Councils (RC). The maximum number of farmers per group keeping local situations in mind will be decided by RCs. Although, there is no restriction on the size of land holding of any individual farmer but in any case the land holding of one single member should not exceed one third of the total land under the group. For registration of local group under any Regional Council they should submit documents like Application form, Farm history sheet, Organic farming pledge, certification team, endorsement of group, Terms of reference signed by individual farmer and local group leader as per prescribed format. After registration farmer should undergo training programme organized by their respective regional council for learning organic farming practices, meeting, to conduct training, to know how to perform peer review

GLOBAL ONLINE PGS DATABASE-IFOAM This database is the most comprehensive and up-to-date collection on Participatory Guarantee Systems available online. It offers a list of worldwide PGS initiatives and the possibility for these to display and share information. Click on the name of a PGS initiative listed below to learn more about its structure and activities.

PGS initiatives are encouraged to submit their Self-Evaluation Form and content, documents or pictures to the IFOAM PGS Team: [email protected] . Are you involved or aware of a PGS that is not yet listed in this Database? Please share your knowledge by filling in the form you will find here. * PGS initiatives that have received government accreditation obtain IFOAM PGS Recognition, regardless whether they are IFOAM Affiliate. The use of the IFOAM PGS logo is, however, conditioned to IFOAM membership. ** PGS Networks include several PGS initiatives that are somehow linked through common activities, procedures or the use of a common standard. They include - apart from fully operational PGS networks that are implementing functional certification systems to certify their producers - PGS that are still under development and might not yet have functional PGS procedures in place. The PGS network as a whole cannot apply for IFOAM PGS Recognition, but individual PGS initiatives that are involved in the PGS Network can. PGS Initiatives not Officially Recognized by IFOAM include fully operational PGS initiatives that are implementing functional certification systems to certify their producers, as well as PGS that are still under development and might not yet have functional PGS procedures in place. Only PGS initiatives recognized by IFOAM have gone through a formal assessment by IFOAM; for other PGS initiatives listed in this database, IFOAM does not take responsibility for the PGS “nature” or the accuracy of information provided.

Participatory Guarantee System for India PGS-India – Web portal

Participatory Guarantee System –India

programme was officially launched during

March, 2011 by Government of India,

Ministry of Agriculture, Department of

Agriculture and Cooperation with the

objective to make the domestic organic

certification system affordable and for

empowering farmers with participatory

decision making. PGS India aims to give

PGS movement a national recognition and

institutional structure without affecting the

spirit of PGS by networking the group under

common umbrella through different

facilitating agencies, Regional Councils and

Zonal Councils. Being the PGS-Secretariat,

National Centre of Organic Farming,

Ghaziabad felt the need of PGS-India

Website for smooth execution against the

hectic documentation process involved in

the process. Therefore, NCOF under the

guidance of DAC with technical support of

National Information Centre, New Delhi has

developed the PGSINDIA Website -

http://pgsindia-ncof.gov.in/. Hon’ble Union

Books Review

Research in Organic Farming by Raumjit Nokkoul (Ed.), Published by InTech Open Access Books, 198 pages; Price 150 USD; - This book has emerged as a consequence of the difficulties experienced by authors in finding information when they first started researching. The goal was to produce a book where as many existing studies as possible could be presented in a single volume, making it easy for the reader to compare methods, results and conclusions. As a result, studies from countries such as Thailand, Spain, Sweden, Lithuania, Czech, Mexico, etc. have been brought together as individual chapters, and references to studies from other countries have been included in the overview chapters where possible. Authors believe that this opportunity to compare results from different countries will open a new perspective on the subject, allowing the typical characteristics of Organic Agriculture and Organic Food to be seen more clearly. This book will help researchers and students all over the world to reach new results in the field of Organic Agriculture and Organic Food. The book comprises of ten (10) chapters on different topics/themes. The list of chapters as follows: 1. Organic Farming and Landscape: Experiences and Perceptions in Alt mpord . 2. The Effect of Sustainable and Organic Farming Systems on the Balance of Biogenic Elements and Changes of Agrochemical Properties in Gleyic Cambisol. 3. Ecological Footprint and Carbon Footprint of Organic and Conventional Agrofoods Production, Processing and Services. 4. Assessment of Proximate and Phytochemical Composition for Evaluation of Nutritive Values of Some Plant Foods Obtained from Iran and India. 5. Technologies and Varieties of Fodder Beet in Organic Farming. 6. Seed and Crop Production of Yardlong Bean Under Organic Farming System. 7. Wheat Growing and Quality in Organic Farming. 8. Evolution of Nitrogen Compounds During Grape Ripening from Organic and Non-Organic Monastrell –

Nitrogen Consumption and Volatile Formation in Alcoholic Fermentation. 9. Plant Extracts from Mexican Native Species: An Alternative for Control of Plant Pathogens. 10. Weed Biology and Weed Management in Organic Farming. Natural Farming : A Practical Guide by Pat Coleby, Published by Scribe Publications, Carlton North, Australia; 2015, 272 pages; Price £25.22 – This book emphasizes the importance of Natural Farming and its practical aspects. Natural Farming carries a simple but widely overlooked message: healthy soil makes healthy plants, which in turn make healthy animals and healthy people. The book explores the consequences in the soil of applications of superphosphate and other artificial fertilisers over decades, and explains soil chemistry in terms that every farmer can understand. It describes the exact role of each mineral and vitamin, both in the soil and in the body. And it explains how to prevent expensive disease outbreaks and minimise the use of costly artificial sprays and fertilisers. The prescriptions are simple and can be applied to any farming enterprise market gardens, orchards, broadacre crops and pasture to restore the natural balance and fertility of the land, improve soil health, and increase productivity. The book is enlivened with accounts of spectacular successes in regenerating degraded land and curing animals that, in many cases, had been given up for dead. Natural Farming is an essential handbook for any farmer, with detailed information on: understanding a soil analysis establishment and management of pasture treatment of compacted soil and erosion alternatives to artificial fertilisers, herbicides, and pesticides the significance of weeds strategies for drought diagnosis of diseases and deficiencies in stock remedies for common diseases, including Johne's disease and immune-system disorders rearing orphan animals. Natural Farming equips the farmer to get the best from the land using



environmentally sustainable methods which save time, expense, and worry and to supply the rising global demand for pure food. Organic Manifesto : How Organic Food Can Heal Our Planet, Feed the World, and Keep Us Safe by Maria Rodale, Published by Rodale Incorporated, Pennsylvania, United States; 2011, 224 pages; Price £9.54 – Drawing on findings from leading health researchers as well as conversations with both chemical and organic farmers from coast to coast, Maria Rodale's "Organic Manifesto" irrefutably outlines the unacceptably high cost of chemical farming on our health and our environment. She traces the genesis of chemical farming and the rise of the immense companies that profit from it, bringing to light the government's role in allowing such practices to flourish. She further explains that modern organic farming would not only help reverse climate change by reducing harmful carbon emissions and soil depletion, but would also improve the quality of the food we eat, reduce diseases from asthma to cancer, and ensure a better quality of life in farming communities nationwide. For every parent wondering how best to safeguard the health and safety of her children; for every environmentalist in search of a solution to the worsening crisis that afflicts our land, air, and waters; for every shopper who questions whether it is worth it to pay more for organic, Maria Rodale offers straightforward answers and a single, definitive course of action: We must demand organic now. Natural Beekeeping : Organic Approaches to Modern Apiculture by Ross Conrad, Published by Chelsea Green Publishing Co, White River Junction, United States; 2013, 304 pages; Price £23.94 – Today's beekeepers face unprecedented challenges, a fact that is now front-page news with the

spread of "colony collapse disorder." Newly introduced pests like varroa and tracheal mites have made chemical treatment of hives standard practice, but pest resistance is building, which in turn creates demand for new and even more toxic chemicals. In fact, there is evidence that chemical treatments are making matters worse. It's time for a new approach. Now revised and updated with new resources and including full-color photos throughout, Natural Beekeeping offers all the latest information in a book that has already proven invaluable for organic beekeepers. The new edition offers the same holistic, sensible alternative to conventional chemical practices with a program of natural hive management, but offers new sections on a wide range of subjects, including: The basics of bee biology and anatomy Urban beekeeping Identifying and working with queens Parasitic mite control Hive diseases Also, a completely new chapter on marketing provides valuable advice for anyone who intends to sell a wide range of hive products.Ross Conrad brings together the best "do no harm" strategies for keeping honeybees healthy and productive with nontoxic methods of controlling mites; eliminating American foulbrood disease without the use of antibiotics; selective breeding for naturally resistant bees; and many other detailed management techniques, which are covered in a thoughtful, matter-of-fact way. Whether you are a novice looking to get started with bees, an experienced apiculturist looking for ideas to develop an integrated pest-management approach, or someone who wants to sell honey at a premium price, this is the book you've been waiting for.
