Popularising organic farming

M. G. Ferdous, Senior Research Associate, Bangladesh Agricultural University
Shykh Seraj's essay, "Purity of soil and crop," published in The Daily Star on September 18, 2013 has drawn my attention. Organic farming is getting popular day by day not only in Bangladesh but also in other agro-based countries due to its long-term effects on soil. To popularise organic farming and other agro-technologies invented by the agriculturists, the media can play a vital role and follow Shykh Seraj's example, who is trying to make farmers aware and helping them to uplift their condition.
