In Kaushambi district, Uttar Pradesh, farmers are increasingly adopting organic farming techniques for banana cultivation, responding to the adverse effects of chemical fertilizers on soil fertility. This initiative is part of the 'Namami Gange' project, which aims to promote sustainable agricultural practices along the Ganga River. Dayaram Maurya, a member of the Banana Growers’ Association, highlighted the need for this shift, noting that chemical use has been detrimental to soil health. The state government is actively supporting this transition, with organic banana farming expanding to approximately 50 hectares this year. The district, known for its significant banana production, has over 2,500 farmers involved in this sector. Currently, banana cultivation spans 5,800 hectares in Kaushambi. Additionally, a modern tissue culture laboratory established in Chilla Sahwaji village will enhance farmers' access to high-quality saplings, addressing previous challenges with supply delays. This development is expected to improve both agricultural output and soil health in the region.
