• Conversion of land from conventional management to organic management
• Management of the entire surrounding system to ensure biodiversity and sustainability of the system.
• Crop production with the use of alternative sources of nutrients such as crop rotation, residue management, organic manures and biological inputs.
• Management of weeds and pests by better management practices, physical and cultural means and by biological control system
