Dear All ,

Vindhya Das of agragamee.org has attached a write up about the pros and cons of
the tribal slash and burn system, and a possible search for alternatives through
Conservation Agriculture option for tribal communities in Orissa, India. The
concept of conservation agriculture is gaining popularity all over the world.

The article has been forwarded by Raju Titus to AgriConcern. In her view “
Of-course most of conservations agriculture till date is chemical and herbicide
based. But, it has a lot of advantages over conventional and conventional
organic agriculture, which is what would eventually make farmers switch to this
more eco-friendly approach. In India, Conservation Agriculture has originated
from Fukuoka's philosophy of natural farming, so I am sure Conservation
Agriculture can be developed to be completely organic as well”.

I also feel to share the "New Delhi Declaration on Conservation Agriculture"
held in New Delhi on 4-7th February 2009. Please visti below mentioned URL:
