Sikkim on the organic trail

The Indian State of Sikkim considers organic farming as a means of sustainable development; one that is inclusive and can drive economic growth, employment and poverty eradication whilst maintaining the healthy functioning of the Earth’s ecosystem. Sikkim’s journey that began in the year 2003 reached a landmark milestone in 2016 when it was declared India’s first fully certified organic farming State after it brought its entire agricultural land under the fold of certified organic cultivation.
