AUTHOR’S NOTE

This digital textbook have been prepared as part of B.Ed.

curriculum requirements. While being engrossed in the process

of conjuring up a subject to base my book on, I came across an

article on poison free food produce in a local newspaper. The

article got me thinking of how better it would have been if

limitations of traditional organic farming can be overcome by

involving advanced technology. It has already been realised that

the so called ‘Green revolution’ has not been very green in terms

of safeguarding the environment. And now in order to regain our

fields, health and peace of mind, it is imperative that we cultivate

in our future generation the basic understanding of organic

farming and the far too many possibilities that is yet to be

explored in it. The work titled ‘What’s in my plate’ is based on

organic farming. The books aims to shed some light on the much

sought after and needed farming strategy, i.e. Organic farming.

The book offers knowledge on Organic farming in brief bullet

format. Such an approach was to keep information as precise By Smrithi

and appealing to the impatient youth. It serves only as an
Sanil
introduction to Organic farming thus covering only basic

concepts. The book is prepared with the purpose of being an Registration

th
supplementary reader to 8 grader of SCERT Kerala syllabus for

the subject of ‘Basic Science’. Sincere efforts have been taken for Number:

the fruitful completion of this work. Nevertheless any mistakes 18119386008

from my side is duly regretted. I take this opportunity to thank
STTC,
our Department head Mrs. Asha Sindhu. S.S and the whole of
