[www.keralites.net] Computer graduate to Organic farming - Making good profit now

 

Devesh Patel is a computer applications graduate who turned to organic farming.

Devesh Patel is a computer applications graduate, who pursued the course

of nature rather than the course he studied. He chose to become a farmer

like his father and returned to his village to work on the family land.

Devesh's father Ramesh suffered from chronic problems caused by

the chemical fertilizers he used in the farm. "Only when his health

worsened did my father realize that increasing yield wasn't everything.

There's no point making money if one can't enjoy it.

We switched to organic farming," said Devesh,

They soon shifter to the liquid biofertilizer (LBF) newly developed

at the Anand Agricultural University. "The health of the soil has improved.

Chemical fertilizers cost up to Rs 28,000 per ha for crops such as

sweet potato and ginger. LBF has cut my cost to below Rs 4,000/ha,"

said Devesh. The organic shift has spiked their earning to 30-40 lakh annually.
