Passage- 2

There is a claim that organic farming is inherently safer and healthier. The reality is that because the organic farming industry is still young and not well-regulated in India, farmers and consumers, alike, are not only confused about what products are best for them, but sometimes use products in ways that could harm them as well. For example, since organic fertilizers are difficult to obtain on a large scale in India, farmers often use farmyard manure, which may contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals. Certain plant sprays, such as Datura flower and leaf spray, have an element called atropine. If it is not applied in the right dose, it can act on the nervous system of the consumer. Unfortunately, how much and when to use it are not well-researched or regulated issues.

परिच्छेद-2

ऐसा दावा किया जाता है कि जैविक खेती अन्तर्निहित रूप से अपेक्षाकृत सुरक्षित और स्वास्थ्यकर है । वास्तविकता यह है कि चूँकि जैविक खेती उद्योग भारत में अभी भी काफी नया है और ठीक से विनियमित नहीं है, किसान और उपभोक्ता, समान रूप से, न केवल भ्रमित हैं कि कौन-से उत्पाद उनके लिए सबसे अच्छे हैं, बल्कि कभी-कभी उत्पादों का ऐसे तरीकों से इस्तेमाल करते हैं जो कि उन्हीं को हानि पहुँचा सकते हैं। उदाहरण के लिए, चूँकि भारत में जैविक उर्वरकों का बड़े पैमाने पर प्राप्त होना कठिन है, अतः किसान प्रायः खेतों की खाद का इस्तेमाल करते हैं, जिनमें आविषालु (टॉक्सिक) रसायन और भारी धातु हो सकते हैं । कतिपय पादप फुहारों, उदाहरण के लिए धतूरा फूल और पत्तियों के फुहारों में ऐट्रोपीन नाम का तत्त्व होता है। यदि इसका इस्तेमाल ठीक-ठीक मात्रा में न हो, तो यह उपभोक्ता के स्नायु तंत्र पर प्रभाव डाल सकता है। दुर्भाग्य से, इसे कितना और कब इस्तेमाल करना है, इन मुद्दों पर पर्याप्त अनुसंधान या विनियमन नहीं हुआ है।
