Organic farming - practical message
Question
Which one of the following statements best reflects the most logical, rational and practical message conveyed by the author of the passage?
Options
In India, organic farming should not be promoted as a substitute for conventional farming.
There are no safe organic alternatives to chemical fertilizers.
In India, farmers need to be guided and helped to make their organic farming sustainable.
The aim of organic farming should not be to generate huge profits as there is still no global market for its products.
Explanation
The passage identifies clear systemic bottlenecks in India's organic agriculture: user confusion , scaling deficits of standard clean fertilizers , and non-existent dosing standardization for botanical sprays. The practical solution to resolve widespread confusion and prevent toxic over-application is the deployment of technical guidelines, field guidance, and regulatory tracking for farmers[cite: 3424, 3428]. Option (c) perfectly targets this gap. Options (a) and (b) present extreme, unbacked rejections of organic methods altogether, while option (d) introduces irrelevant assertions about profit caps and global markets.
Answer: (c).
