Congratulations to the farmers for bringing the change in vegetable production (Veggies delight DTE, April 15 2014) which has improved their health and wealth. Storage facilities are the real barriers in gaining the maximum benefit from their production.
Though this shift is giving the benefit, still for better sustainability on long run attention is require for the following measures such as:1. use of heavy chemicals in various forms
2. soil pollution
3. water pollution both surface and groundwater
4. health of the farmers from chemical pollution
5. loss of soil fertility
6. loss of advantages of shift agriculture
7. reduced production (60% to 25 % of paddy and other cereals
8. imbalance in diet systems
9. challenges of malnutrition
10. other consequences.
Though the shift is welcome from the farmers side, there is a need to balance the production keeping the need so the local people.
With this pattern of balancing,farmers can do wonders to improve the their health & wealth as well as environment with improved sustainability and quality of life.
