The growing interest in Homeopathy in Europe happens to be well documented with statistics and recent newspaper articles that have raked unnecessary controversies only adds to its relevance. Not only the British royals but commoners from countries such as Italy, France, Greece, Spain to not ever forget Germany, the cradle of Homeopathy are flocking to this kind of alternative treatment in droves.
Now the European commission has put its stamp of approval on Homeopathy by issuing guidelines for organic farmers in Britain to deal with their livestock with Homeopathic remedies. Its directive specifically states it is an over-all necessity for production of all organic livestock that homeopathic and herbal products will probably be used over normal use of chemically formulated allopathic veterinary treatment that commonly manifest as antibiotics available in the market
Field Tests: Getting a go in its arm could be the endorsement and support from 'The Soil Association' which can be a UK based leading body certifying organic produce. The official news release through the association states that although the usage of homeopathic treatments was not mandatory to acquire organic certification, it could be 'effective'. This official pr release from the soil association is backed by their extensive researched data they have collected from livestock farmers and vets those points towards significant medical care improvement by adopting herbal and homeopathic treatments.
UN endorsement: Organic farming got the stamp of approval from the united Nations in 2013 which it declared as sustainable and scalable to meet the rising global food demands. Scores of research studies have backed organic farming with field confirmed reports of increasing yields, and better stress performance than chemically treated plant and favorable effect on local bio-diversity.
Startling details about Organic farming
• Organic farming yielded 33% more in drought years as compared to chemically treated farming
• Almost 80% of Organic farming produce is coming from developing countries. Simply because developed nations continue to be stuck with large scale industrial mechanized farming. The incentive which will make this switch is low, therefore there clearly was a lack of initiative here.
• Studies in Argentina show that organic farming is enhancing the quality and intensity of their surrounding biodiversity. Birds, Bees & butterflies, bugs, farmland species like vesper mouse are thriving due to wild plant growth under Organic farming
Climate change & Organic farming: It is now being realized that industrial farming having its large scale mechanized production and reliance on gene specific technology and chemicals is helping little to end climate change. There is a need to go from the usual business-as-usual farming to farming-like-the-earth-matters. This is how it really is thought that regenerative organic farming will take away the imbalance of greenhouse gases when you look at the atmosphere by a procedure called decarbonization. Organic farming will help restore local ecology, build bio-diversity, has a better effect on soil conservation and help small and marginal farmers cultivate in a profitable way.
