Comparing the Yield of Organic and Conventional Farming in Gorakhpur

Comparing the Yield of Organic and Conventional Farming in Gorakhpur

Abstract

The widespread adoption of contemporary farming techniques in order to increase food production has been prompted by the growing human population along with the decline in agricultural land. The Green Revolution, which began in the late 1960s, led to the intensive use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, which initially led to significant yield improvements. By the 1990s, however, the negative effects of these chemical inputs became apparent: lower soil productivity and more chronic health problems in the population. This study concentrates on the Jungle Kaudiya block in Gorakhpur district, Uttar Pradesh, and compares organic and conventional farming methods' yield performance. The research, based on a primary survey of 155 farmers, highlights how NGO-supported interventions have encouraged organic agriculture in villages like Rakhukhor by providing technical support, crop diversification strategies, and alternative ways to earn money. Additionally, the study examines organic farming's prevalence and effects in four main areas (Bharohiya, Campierganj, Pali, and Jungle Kaudiya) where small and marginal farmers are leading the transition away from chemical-intensive agriculture. The results show that although traditional farming may provide short-term benefits, it threatens soil health and public well-being over time. Organic farming, though initially less productive, has the potential to restore ecological balance and provide sustainable livelihoods. This essay aims to highlight the harmful effects of chemical farming and urge a wider adoption of organic practices as a sustainable solution to the current agricultural problems in the area.
