Radhanpur, situated in a dry land area, perennially grapples with water scarcity. The majority of farmers in this district cultivate cumin. Previously, they employed chemical fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in elevated production costs. Additionally, a lack of knowledge about proper agricultural practices led to diminished yields. To address these challenges, Sakhiben, sheds light on the significance of organic farming. She emphasizes how embracing organic practices not only helps farmers produce high-quality seeds but also reduces the overall cost of production.
