Farming has always been a big industry that is also considered to be very challenging and risky for the fact that farming greatly depends on natural resources and natural life. However, over the years there has been a lot of developments happening in this field to make farming less hassle free and risky. One of the key developments that seem to have proved to be an asset to the farming industry is integrated farming.
“Integrated farming is defined as a whole farm management system that aims at delivering ways and means for sustainable agriculture.” Various agricultural experts have been stating that integrated farming is a dynamic technique that can be used in all sorts of farming system across the globe. Detailing and improvement are the pillars of this system. The USP of integrate farming is the fact that it efficiently amalgamates modern tools and technologies with traditional practices depending upon the land under cultivation.
Thus, in addition to the salient features, integrated farming has many benefits too like:
-
Helps increase productivity. In other words, it helps increase economic yield per unit area per unit time with the help of intensifying the crop and allied enterprises
-
Helps in managing waste. In other words, helps use waste material in the most effective way thereby helping to reduce the cost of production, utilization of waste resulting to economic balance
-
Organic supplementation through successful utilization of by-products of linked component is done thus giving an opportunity to maintain the potentiality of production base for a longer period of time
-
Helps recycle the wastage, thereby helping in balancing the ecosystem too by minimising environmental pollution
-
Helps identify a substitute source to decrease dependency on fossil energy source in less time. Establishing effective recycling technique for organic wastes so that they can be utilized to generate biogas.
-
Ensuring complete usage of the land under cultivation
-
Trying to maximise the ultimate use of all that cultivated in the land.
In addition, integrated/organic farming also focuses at building the farmer’s knowledge about the various ways and means of farming. It also involves creating awareness about the latest developments in the field of agriculture. However, as every coin as two sides, integrated farming despite so many benefits is criticised for certain things too. However, these minimal criticisms are manageable and not worth worrying. In addition, another USP of integrated farming is that it can be customised as per the person implementing, the crop being cultivated, the resources available and the purpose of cultivation. Thus, it makes it applicable for all sorts of farming. Though there are many organisations that have been coming with various integrate farming plans, its Trivedi Effect phenomenon that seems to provide one of the best-integrated farming solutions. In addition, The Trivedi Effect is known for its achievement of merging science and energy healing to create path breaking innovations in the field of agriculture. Trivedi Science has managed to conduct experiments on a vast range of plantations that include vegetables and fruits and have managed to bring phenomenal changes in the yield.
