The two-day workshop was conducted by nearly a dozen scientists from CSK Himachal Agriculture University and the Institute of Himalayan Bio-resource Technology (IHBT).
Senior officials from the Institute of Himalayan Bio-resource Technology said that it was possible to increase productivity by practicing and developing organic farming cycle.
"The farmers are not familiar with what is organic, where is it sold and how do they get certification for organic products. This is a meeting to get the people together, the buyers, the people who give certification, the kind of norms and regularity issues around organics, the markets where they are," said Dr. P. S. Ahuja, the Director of Institute of Himalayan Bio-resource Technology in Palampur.
Experts from Europe and America were also present on the occasion to promote organic modes of farming.
During the workshop the participants were informed about various methods of producing and marketing the organic produce. Besides, the information about the usage of organic products in place of inorganic chemical items that harm soil and the environment apart from affecting the ecological system was also provided.
Dr. Right Harmon, the German Agriculture Scientist noted that such a workshop was ideal as it would reach from production to internal control system and also educate the farmers on formation of local groups to follow certification procedures.
