The “organic” movement in Sikkim gained visibility in the year 2003 when the Chief Minister, Pawan Chamling, announced the decision to adopt organic farming and to convert the entire state into an organic one. The reasons to do so were as follows:
Organic farming would help in retaining the soil fertility.
It would protect the environment and ecology.
It would ensure healthy living.
It would also reduce the risk of health ailments.
The state government was aware that developed countries were banning chemical inputs, and the Chief Minister in his speech to the Parliament specifically referred to the ban on 11 chemical pesticides in the 1980s by the government of United Kingdom.
The transition to organic
Sikkim’s economy is largely dependent on agriculture and tourism, and eco-tourism is a niche area of tourism. Thus, by promoting organic farming, the state government wanted to fulfil the dual objective of supporting agriculture and tourism through the concept of an “organic village.” To move forward with this objective, in 2004, the government came up with a working policy to implement programmes for organic farming and in August 2010, it launched the “Sikkim Organic Mission” to implement the action plan and policies related to organic farming in the state.
The target was to convert the entire state into an organic one by the year 2015. The main objectives of the Organic Mission were to frame an organic farming policy for the state, prepare a roadmap of organic farming and implement the programmes of organic farming with a systematic approach for achieving the target set by the state government, develop and explore markets of organic commodities produced by the state and lastly, to develop linkage between the organic farmers and their market.
According to the statistics provided by the Sikkim Organic Mission, out of a total area of 7.29 lakh hectares in the state, farming covers only about 10.2 percent, and the remaining area includes forest, pastures, barren, and uncultivated land. Sikkim has a diverse range of crops including maize, rice, buckwheat, pulses, soybean, mustard, orange, pears, ginger, cardamom, turmeric, cherry pepper, peas, bean, tomato and potato.
It accounts for the largest share of India’s production of cardamom while hardly any chemical inputs have been used in the cultivation of this crop. The state government wanted to covert the 10.2 percent of the cultivable land to fully organic, without making any changes in the crops that were grown.
