Reading Comprehension Questions for SSC Exams<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Directions\u2014 (Q. 1\u201315) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain Words\/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organic farming is either really expensive or really cheap, depending on where you live and whether or not you are certified. Not only are the \u2018natural\u2019 pesticides and fertilizers increasingly marketed by agribusiness as costly as or costlier than their chemical counterparts, but proving you are an organic farmer requires certification, which is time-consuming and expensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the USA, converting to organic agriculture is a huge undertaking for commercial farmers, who have relied on chemical fertilizers and pesticides for many decades, but in India, the conversion is no less arduous<\/strong> and far more ironic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India\u2019s farmers are still mostly practising organic methods, passed down for millennia. Organic fertilizer and natural pest control are the only tools available to most of these farmers, who have always lacked the financial resources to explore chemical solutions. But these farmers, whose produce is as organic as they come, cannot afford to pay the fees required to gain official certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the international community adopts standards for organic agriculture, the challenges faced by farmers in the USA versus farmers in India in order to adapt are very different indeed. The danger is that the well intentioned global move towards organic standards will make small organic farmers in countries like India, who have never done anything but organic farming, no longer able to sell their crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the $ 26 billion global market for organic foods, the Indian Central Government set up a National Institute of Organic Farming in October 2003. The purpose of this institute is to formulate<\/strong> rules, regulations and certification of organic farm products in conformity with international standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The institute has its offices across the country and has appointed certifying agencies for organic farm products for the domestic market. The certifying agencies are accountable<\/strong> for confirming that any product sold with the new \u2018India Organic\u2019 logo is in accordance with international criteria, and launch major awareness and marketing campaigns in India and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organic farming has been identified as a major thrust area of the 10th plan of the central government. 1 billion rupees have been allocated to the aforementioned National Institute of Organic Farming alone for the 10th five-year plan. Despite this, most of India\u2019s organic farms are not officially considered organic. Most of India\u2019s farms are \u2018organic by default\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The irony and difficulty of the new governmental push for organic agriculture is that 65% of the country\u2019s cropped area is \u2018organic by default\u2019, according to a study. By this somewhat degrading<\/strong> term they mean that small farmers, located mostly in the Eastern and North-Eastern regions of the country, have no choice except to farm without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Though this is true in many cases, it is also true that a significant number of them have chosen to farm organically, as their forefathers have done for thousands of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many have seen for themselves the effects of chemical farming soil erosion and loss of soil nutrients, loss of nutrition in food and human diseases resulting from the chemicals that inevitably<\/strong> seep into the water table, all the reasons for the urgent demand for organic foods and farming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India currently has only 1,426 certified organic farms. This statistical discrepancy reveals that the weak link in the organic\/economic chain is certification. Under current government policy, it takes four years for a farm to be certified as organic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost of preparing the report is a flat fee of Rs. 5,000 and the certificate itself costs another Rs. 5,000. While these costs are bearable for the new industrial organic greenhouses, they are equal to or more than an entire year\u2019s income for the average small farmer, if the costs of travel and inspection are included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the United States, an organic farm plan or organic handling plan must be submitted to a USDA accredited private or state certification program. The plan must explain all current growing and handling methods, and any materials that will be used\u2014in the present and any future plans must be included as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Records for the last five years must be presented. Land must be chemical free for three years prior to harvest, so a conventional farmer cannot receive the organic label for the transitional<\/strong> years. This will generally mean a decrease in income\u2014 crops may be less plentiful than with conventional fertilizers and pesticides and yet the higher price for organic products won\u2019t yet be possible. Many farmers cannot afford the transition, even if they want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One solution to the small farmer\u2019s dilemma of how to both certify and survive is that of community certification. In community certification, communities, on a nonprofit basis, take charge of the certification process themselves. They evaluate the farmer\u2019s commitment to the stewardship of the soil and examine from many angles whether the food is being grown in an environmentally sensitive way or not, rather than technical standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While community certification may be a viable solution on the local level, it is our opinion that, in the global market place, less than exact technical standards will never be enough for today\u2019s consumer and in today\u2019s largely poisoned environment, it shouldn’t be, either. Furthermore, such \u2018soft\u2019 guidelines can easily backfire on the farmers themselves, as a system not based on facts must be by definition subject to local politics, bribery, favoritism, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India must find a way to keep the strict international organic standards intact if it wants to compete in the international market for organic foods, but is there a way to do it without leaving small farmers out in the cold? One obvious solution is for the government to subsidize these certification fees enough to make it a viable<\/strong> option for ordinary farmers, not just for neo-organic factory farms and greenhouses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banks also could provide a more level playing field for small farmers. Currently, almost all bank loans are for pure crop farmers. While many of these big-business farmers use harmful chemicals and processes, small farmers fertilizing their soil with recycled organic wastes are usually ineligible for insurance, much less state subsidies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. What role does the National Institute of Organic Farming have to play in the organic farming area?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
