Presentation Transcript

  1. An Introduction to Sustainable Agriculture with Soybeans Presented by Eco Farming Daily

  2. Organic farming is a method of crop and livestock production that involves much more than choosing not to use synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), antibiotics, and growth hormones. It promotes ecological balance, biodiversity, and soil health.

  3. Soybeans are a major source of protein and oil, used widely in food and industry. Organic soybean Farming is in high demand for tofu, soy milk, animal feed, and export. They are also beneficial in crop rotation due to their nitrogen- fixing properties, which improve soil fertility.

  4. *No use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides *Non-GMO seeds *Sustainable soil and water management *Biological pest control *Use of compost, green manure, and crop rotation

  5. Organic soybean farming begins with selecting fertile land free from chemical residues. Farmers often use: *Cover crops to prevent erosion and enrich the soil *Organic compost to enhance soil nutrients *Soil testing to monitor pH and organic matter levels

  6. Organic soybeans must be non- GMO and preferably certified organic. Seeds should be: *Sourced from certified organic suppliers *Treated using biological or natural methods (not chemical) *Planted at the right time, depending on the climate and region

  7. Organic weed control relies on: *Mechanical weeding (tillage, hand weeding) *Mulching and cover crops *Crop rotation to break pest cycles *Use of biological agents like neem oil, insect traps, and natural predators

  8. Prevention is key in organic farming. Strategies include: *Planting resistant soybean varieties *Practicing proper crop spacing and rotation *Monitoring fields regularly for early signs of disease *Using organic-approved fungicides and treatments

  9. Soybeans are harvested when pods are fully mature and dry. Organic harvesting involves: *Clean, pesticide-free machinery *Careful handling to avoid contamination *Proper drying and storage to prevent mold and pest infestation

  10. To sell soybeans as organic, farmers must follow certification protocols: *Organic certification by accredited agencies (e.g., USDA, India Organic) *Maintenance of records for inspections *Compliance with organic standards for inputs and processes

  11. Opportunities: *Rising demand for organic food *Premium pricing and export potential Challenges: *Higher labor and input costs *Certification complexity *Pest and weed pressure

  12. Organic soybean farming offers a sustainable path toward healthier food systems and better environmental outcomes. With the right knowledge, support, and market access, it can be a profitable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional farming.
