SRINAGAR: On the occasion of World Biodiversity Conservation Day, Jammu and Kashmir Lake Conservation and Management Authority (JKLCMA) organized an awareness programme at Hadura village to promote the conservation of biodiversity and encourage sustainable farming practices.

 Speaking on the occasion, the Vice Chairman, JKLCMA, Khurshid Ahmad Shah emphasized the urgent need to protect the planet’s rich biodiversity and adopt eco-friendly agricultural practices for the wellbeing of future generations. He urged farmers to move towards organic farming methods to maintain ecological balance and ensure healthy agricultural production.

During the programme, farmers were made aware of the harmful effects of the excessive use of chemical fertilizers, fungicides, and pesticides on soil health, water resources, and the environment. The importance of sustainable and environmentally responsible farming practices was highlighted in detail.

In collaboration with NAFED, JKLCMA also distributed 250 kgs of organic fertilizer among local farmers to encourage the use of organic alternatives and reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizers.
