But as said by Albert Einstein that-<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0fa4b8;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"color: #0fa4b8;\">We can\u2019t solve the problem by using the same kind of thinki<span style=\"color: #0fa4b8;\">ng we used when we created<\/span><span style=\"color: #0fa4b8;\"> t<\/span><span style=\"color: #0fa4b8;\">hem\u2026<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #0fa4b8;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, if we want to make a change in the society we have to think different and do different. Iqbal Singh of Basarka Village (District Tarn Taran ) is a person who chose organic farming after completing his studies just to improve the food cycle and its bad effects on the people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iqbal Singh\u2019s father used to do conventional farming earlier and after completing the studies (B.Com from PU) Iqbal also decided of starting farming along with his father. But when he noticed the deteriorating health of one of his relative then he realized that how badly our food system has been affected by the chemicals and pesticides use. At that time he understood that \u201cour food cycle and water cycle has been poisoned and if we don\u2019t take necessary steps towards our environment then our coming generation will get affected by it very badly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iqbal decided of starting farming but in a different way. He stopped the use of chemicals and pesticides and slowly expanded the organic farming in his 16 acres of land. Today he is successfully earning good profit by farming all types of seasonal vegetables organically. He implements every type of tractor, trolley, plough device, disc, and rotavator. In the coming times he wants to start food processing and its marketing so that he can take better advantage of it and earn more profit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Message to Farmers:<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #27c42f;\"><em>\u201c<\/em><\/span><span style=\"color: #27c42f;\"><em>If we don\u2019t want our coming generation to face problems and diseases like cancer, skin allergy etc, then we have to turn towards organic.
