All of the above

The correct answer is: d) All of the above

Sikkim’s organic farming initiative aims to promote sustainable agriculture, protect biodiversity, and improve farmers’ livelihoods.

  • Sustainable agriculture is a type of agriculture that uses methods that are environmentally friendly and conserve natural resources. Organic farming is a type of sustainable agriculture that does not use synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers.
  • Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth. Biodiversity is important for many reasons, including providing food, medicine, and other resources, and regulating the climate. Organic farming can help to protect biodiversity by reducing the use of pesticides and herbicides, which can harm wildlife.
  • Farmers’ livelihoods are the means by which farmers make a living. Organic farming can help to improve farmers’ livelihoods by increasing crop yields, reducing costs, and providing access to markets.

Sikkim’s organic farming initiative has been successful in achieving its goals. The state has become the first organic state in India, and organic farming is now practiced by over 80% of farmers in Sikkim. The initiative has also helped to improve the environment and the livelihoods of farmers in Sikkim.
