Rain-fed agriculture relies on natural rainfall for crop irrigation, with the success of crops dependent on timely monsoons and sufficient rainfall throughout the growing season.

Organic farming practices promote soil health, biodiversity, and sustainability while reducing chemical inputs and minimizing environmental pollution. They also produce nutritious and flavorful crops while supporting long-term agricultural resilience and food security.

Bio-agents such as blue-green algae are used in organic farming to produce biofertilizers, enriching the soil with beneficial microorganisms that improve nutrient availability and plant health.

Organic farming utilizes cultural practices like mixed cropping, intercropping, and crop rotation, which create a diverse and resilient ecosystem that naturally controls pests and diseases while promoting soil fertility.

Organic farming relies on inputs such as organic manures, recycled farm-wastes (such as straw and livestock excreta), and bio-agents like blue-green algae for biofertilizers, as well as natural substances like neem leaves or turmeric for bio-pesticides.
