The ventures of vermicompost, press mud and other forms of generation of organic nutrients for crop production may be exempted from levy of all kinds of taxes, excise and income tax etc. The bio-dynamic means of preparing nutrients may be standardized and the technology may be popularized. Since no mechanism exists at present to ensure quality standards for bio-inputs used under organic farming, strict quality control measures should be enforced through appropriate administrative measures. Quality standards should be limited to bio products sold to farmers and not on products made for their own consumption. The crop residues should not be burnt, for which suitable public awareness campaigns should be organised. Adequate information may be made available to the farmers about the crop wise residues arising and equivalent nutrient value per unit area through such crop residues. The organic markets for supply and purchase of inputs and outputs for organic farming may be developed. Adequate number of certification agencies may be identified, registered/recognized. The certification agencies may be encouraged by the government to carry out certification at a reasonable cost for the farmers for intended export of organic produce. Their easy accessibility and greater availability should also be ensured by having more representatives of certification agencies in the state. In the areas of high production, the shifting to organic farming system may result into loss of produce in the initial years. For such switch over, farmers may need to be supported for initial 2-3 years. A course at post graduate level may be started on organic farming by Punjab Agricultural University and other agriculture universities in the country. Programmes need to be initiated for evaluation and promotion of organic source of nutrients through bio fertilizers, vermicompost press mud, coir pith manures, urban compost, bio-gas slurry and non-edible cakes etc. In-situ composting of sugarcane trash should also be promoted in a big way. Each KVK may set up a vermicompost and a biological control unit for demonstration and dissemination of the techniques. These centres may also provide worms to the farmers after their training. Each KVK may lay out one demonstration on organic farming by taking major crops of that area as test crops. The technology packages for organic farming as developed by farmers, NGOs and others may be evaluated and the successful technology may be expanded in larger areas. Bankable model schemes on organic farming may be prepared and circulated amongst the farmers for its adoption. Regulatory mechanism which state government may take include: formation of organic farmers group, registration of farmers groups with district authorities, documentation of individual farm / farm records, service providers KVK / SAUs / Agri-clinics / Private entrepreneurs, fixation of nominal fee, accreditation agencies, certification and inspection agencies. Monitoring of farmers groups registered under the State Government could be taken up. State Government should take up activities like publicity and creation of Awareness among farmers to educate them, organizing them in groups, training the service providers in private sector and arranging their registration, promotion of local certification agencies and assistance in marketing. It is recommended that for promotion of organic farming, area and group based approach should be adopted by the State Government. To provide technical support, SAUs / KVKs / Central Agencies / reputed NGOs / Agro-clinics should act as service providers. Approval of accreditation and certification should be left at national level.
