Andhra Pradesh Rythu Sadhikara Samstha (APRySS) CEO B. Rama Rao said that it was the responsibility of every citizen to adopt sustainable ways to protect and preserve the environment for future generations.
Led by the government forum for natural farming, an international team of soil and agriculture scientists from the CGIAR (Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research) visited Chittoor for two days, on Monday and Tuesday, in order to observe organic farming methods adopted by the farmers of the region.
Mr. Rao said that the State government was working hard to foster natural agriculture and about three lakh farmers in the State were already following natural farming methods. “We want to promote natural agricultural products to protect the planet and ensure food security for future generations. Naturally grown food is healthier for consumption,” he said.
