Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), which administers the gurdwaras across the country, has decided to adopt organic farming – a decision that is sure to delight pilgrims and conservationists alike. Organic farming is the practice of growing crops without the use of chemical pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers. Instead, it emphasises on crop rotation, organic fertilisers, and plant-based pesticides and herbicides to maintain soil productivity.
“Organic farming is the new mission of SGPC to inspire farmers to cut down on the use of chemicals and pesticides and switch to sustainable agricultural practices,” an SGPC official said.
