The correct answer is: d) All of the above<\/strong><\/p>\n Awards like the Sikkim Organic Awards aim to encourage organic farming practices, promote Sikkim’s organic products, and recognize innovators in organic agriculture.<\/p>\n Organic farming is a method of crop and livestock production that involves much more than choosing not to use pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, antibiotics and growth hormones. Organic production is a holistic system designed to optimize the productivity and fitness of diverse communities within the agro-ecosystem, including soil organisms, plants, livestock and people. The principal goal of organic production is to develop enterprises that are sustainable and harmonious with the environment.<\/p>\n Sikkim is the first and only organic state in India. The state has been promoting organic farming since 2003, and has achieved a 100% organic certification for its agricultural produce. The Sikkim Organic Awards are given to individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the development of organic agriculture in Sikkim.<\/p>\n The awards recognize innovators in organic agriculture, such as farmers who have developed new organic farming techniques, and entrepreneurs who have developed new organic products. The awards also promote Sikkim’s organic products, and encourage consumers to buy organic products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [amp_mcq option1=”Encourage organic farming practices” option2=”Promote Sikkim’s organic products” option3=”Recognize innovators in organic agriculture” option4=”All of the above” correct=”option4″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[992],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sikkim-gk-mcq","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"\n
