Why-Why Diagram for limited penetration Organic Agriculture in India Limited Penetration of Organic Agriculture in India Low Levels of Market Information about organic produces Conventional Agriinputs considered more effective than Bio-inputs Time lag & high costs of conversion of conventional to organic farming Limited positive government interventions & high negative subsidies Under developed infrastructure & marketing channels for green outputs Low levels of networking among farmers and other stakeholders No designated agency at Central, State & Local levels which reaches farmers with information Low quality of bio-inputs Non availability of bioinputs Relatively long time period needed for bio inputs to be effective Subsistence farming by large number of small & marginal farmers High costs involved certification & limited no. of certifying agencies Price premiums reach more for Intermediaries than products No & limited Storage facilities No easy quality assurance mechanisms Lack of adequate transportation facilities No quality Monitoring Control Systems in place Existence of spurious & low quality brands in market Disincentive for traders given the low penetration of bio-inputs market Limited Shelf life of bio-inputs Limited R & D efforts & investments on Bio inputs Subsidies to conventional inputs disincentivizing bio-inputs Limited financial outlays for bioinputs by government No strategic attention for greening agriculture & No coordinated effort at Centre & State level Small farm holdings Formal associations of traderes, farmers & others are not paying adequate attention Mostly geographically dispersed organic farmers; Small numbers with diverse organic products Some Facts Stand-alone Use of Organic Farming Became Impractical Fertilizers - Key Component of Soil Fertility Management Rising Use of Fertilizers Overshadowed the Use of Organic Manures One Source to Halt Soil Mining of Nutrients not Practical or viably Economical An IPNMS - Imperative Feature Poorly Fed Plants Supply Poor Quality and Imbalanced Diet to Man and Animals Widespread Malnutrition and Diseases Results in Higher Infant Mortality and Low Human Productivity Solve the Problem by IPNMS Through ICT Increasing the Capital of Nutrient through Proper Management of Various Sources of Nutrients - ICT IPNMS through ICT Local and external plant nutrient sources accessible to farmers Conceptual Frame Work and Methodology for development of IPNMS including recycling of nutrients through various Sources including city compost, human, animal, soil and crop system Technical Advise Input Credit Marketing Facility Involvement of Farmers by participative approach Resources available 11
