How to promote organic food. Minus point --- communal may use it to boycott Kashmiri apples !!!
.
We need a law that the fruit box can have label of FarmerAdhaarNumber / GRAM / TAHSIL/ DISTRICT / STATE of origin written on it OR can have none. So farmers and traders can either put NO label OR put label of Tahsil / District / State from where the fruits came
.
So label can be as
.
No label
.
OR
.
unknown farmer, unknown gram , unknown tahsil , unknown district , unknown state .
OR
.
unknown farmer, unknown gram , unknown tahsil , unknown district , ABC state .
.
OR
.
unknown farmer, unknown gram , unknown tahsil , DEF district , ABC state .
.
OR
.
unknown farmer, unknown gram , GHI tahsil , DEF district , ABC state .
.
OR
.
unknown farmer, JKL gram , GHI tahsil , DEF district , ABC state .
.
OR
.
famer addhar = 123 .., JKL gram , GHI tahsil , DEF district , ABC state .
.
And in addition, the farmer may or need not add his farm longnitude / latitiude etc
.
And law will state that putting wrong labels will be punishable in prison. So NOT putting labels or putting incomplete labels will NOT be crime. But putting false label will be crime.
.
Next, we need law that gram can delcare itself as organic with vote of 75% farmers. In that case, ALL farmers will have to use ONLY organic methods only.
.
So now once a gram is delcared organic, then sale of its farmers will increase
.
A MINUS point is that communals may use this to boycott apples of JK. The apples of JK is backbone behind secessionism as per many communals. as per communals, JK people merely spend some 1-2 hours a day on apple farm, and huge profits enable them to throw stones at our soldiers for whole day
.
So let them export all apples to PoK or any country they like.
.
Boycott of JK apples will break their strength and they will reduce stone throwing.
.
IOW, labeling farm products has several benefits, and also some minus points
.
