Answer» Organic farming: Organic farming is the process of growing plants and crops in an environment friendly way. It prevents the use of synthetic chemicals/pesticides. It prevents water pollution and soil contamination as no chemical is added to the soil. Different ways of green job in agriculture: Farmers’ cooperatives are one of the most effective means of reducing the risk in agriculture and strengthening the livelihoods of small and marginal farmers. Organic farming, integrated pest management, farm mechanisation and agro-tourism also provide job opportunities to youths. The Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) can be utilised to provide support like technology dissemination, training awareness to the local youth and farmers for collection, storage and reuse of agro-waste. |
