It is describe about Superiority of Organic Agriculture

1. 1st FoWO International WWOOF Conference
17-20 October 2014
Pastoral Vadi, Fethiye, Turkey

2. AGRICULTURE
 Agriculture, the science & art of producing
crops & animals under supervision of humans
in a specific location
 An evolutionary process that transformed wild
plants and animals to fully dependent and
domesticated cultivars/progenies

3. TODAY’S AGRICULTURE
 Industrial Crops
 Monocrop Farms
 Rely on Chemical Pesticides & Synthetic
Fertilizers & GMOs
 Factory Farms Confined Camp of Animals &
Birds

4. MONOCULTURE &
PESTICIDE SPRAYING

5. TODAY’S AGRICULTURE CONTD.
 “Biopiracy” & Corporate Buyout of Small
Biotech Companies Attempt by Trans-
national Biotech Corporations to Secure
Control of World’s Food Industry, Estimated
to be Worth in Excess of $ 2,000 Billion a
Year
 Aiming to Destroy Traditional Farming &
Damage Environment by Artificially
Produced Sterile Genes Transfer to Wild
Plants & Non-GM Crops.

6. TODAY’S AGRICULTURE CONTD.
 Deplete & Degrade Soil
 Reduce Biodiversity
 Generate Air & Water Pollutants & Degrade
Environment
 Threaten Health of Farm-workers, Neighbors
& Consumers

7. TODAY’S AGRICULTURE CONTD.
 Disrespects Social Culture & Integrity
 Threat to Human Health
 Agricultural Science is under the Captivity of
Trader-cum-Entrepreneurs’ Control
 Defies Environmental, Social & Ethical
Respects
 Adulterated Food with Heavy Metals, Fats &
Steroids but Deficient in Mineral Nutrients &
Vitamins, Millions suffer from Malnutrition &
Diseases

8. TRENDS OF PESTICIDE USE IN BANGLADESH
Pesticide Consumption
1976-2008
Consumption Trend of
Pesticide Groups 1991-
1999

9. ERA OF SEGREGATION AND DANGERS OF
GENETIC UNIFORMITY
 Family Separation
 Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation
(CAFO)
 Geopolitics of Plant Genetic Resources
 Several Thousand Plant Species have been Used
for Human Food History; Now Only About 150
are Cultivated
 Only Rice, Maize & Wheat Supply 60% of
Calories & Protein Derived from Plants
 75% of the Genetic Biodiversity of Agricultural
Crops has been Lost in 20th Century.

10. ORGANIC FARMING IS SUSTAINABLE
 Integrated System of Plant & Animal
Production Practices having a Site-specific
Application .
 Satisfy Long-term Human Needs
 Enhance Environmental Quality & Natural
Resources
 Efficient Use of Nonrenewable & On-farm
Resources
 Integrate Natural Biological Cycles
 Controls the Economic Viability of Farm
Operations

11. ORGANIC FARMING IS SUSTAINABLE
CONTD.
 Enhance Quality of Life for Farmers & Society
 Protect Environment, Public Health& Animal
Welfare
 Produce Healthy Food Without Compromising
Future Generations' Ability to Do the Same
 Environmental Preservation
 Sustaining Vibrant Communities

12. THOUGHTS OF SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
 Energy: Unlimited
 World Regions
 Undulation & Landscape
 Adaptation
 Succession
 Soil & its Capacity
 Biodiversity
 Zero- Nutrient Depletion

13. LIGHT

14. WORLD REGIONS

15. UNDULATION AND LANDSCAPE

16. SUCCESSION

17. NUTRIENTS UP TAKING
MICROBIAL ACTIVITIES ON ROCKS
CONVERTING SOIL

18. ORGANIC FARMING: SIMPLE, SAFE &
RELIABLE
Grow Sac Vegetables
Converting Sand to Soil
Now 135 food plant spp
with 5 types of Basils

19. ORGANIC FARMING & FOOD SECURITY
