The article discusses the importance of soil health in organic farming, especially in areas facing land degradation like hilly and semi-arid regions in India. Various practices such as using biodynamic formulations, microbial inoculations, and intercropping with leguminous crops can improve soil health and nutrient supply. These practices are cost-effective and beneficial for organic farming due to the availability of organic sources, high organic matter in certain regions, and premium prices for organic produce. Organic farming can balance the trade-off between premium prices and lower yields, making investments in soil health management worthwhile.
