Alternative farming

Alternative Farming introduces Class 12 Economics students to farming approaches that reduce dependence on chemical inputs and support the sustainable use of land, water, and biodiversity. In the context of Current Challenges Facing Indian Economy, the topic connects organic farming and related practices with soil health, food quality, rural livelihoods, employment, and environmental protection. Students examine potential benefits, costs, market access, certification, productivity concerns, and the challenges farmers face while shifting from conventional agriculture.
