Expert in Organic and Sustainable farming in Western Uttar PradeshResume
Since the whole of Western U.P witnesses excessive use of chemicals and pesticides. Hence, there is a great loss to the fertility of agricultural soil here. Worried about the threat to the agriculture in Western U.P, Raman Kant decided to initiate organic farming along with the promotion of traditional ways of farming. He is the pioneer of promoting organic farming in the area covering 50 villages in Meerut district and much more in the adjoining districts of Bijnor, Baghpat, and others. Farmers have been taught about the various methods of preparing organic manures, bio-pesticides, and other biotechnologies which serve as inputs in organic farming. The former union minister Sompal Shastri had visited Meerut along with his technical advisor to see the grassroots level work which Raman Kant is promoting in the area. He appreciated the work being done by him. Raman Kant has participated in a number of National and International conferences on organic farming and has delivered presentations on the subject. He is among the few environmentalists in the country who has brought the threat of POPs to the surface by organizing meetings and conducting research in the community.
