Organic agriculture nurtures the soil and feeds the community in India
The Institute for Motivating Self-Employment (IMSE), a farmers’ organization in West Bengal, is carrying out two major campaigns in support of farmers to enable them to keep the land they till and to use sustainable agriculture practices to make small-scale farming viable while protecting the environment. Village-level awareness camps were conducted to demonstrate the benefits of organic farming for farmers and the community. A parallel campaign was carried out to strengthen the Gram Sansad (village parliament).
