I'm surprised that this "chemical fertiliser ban" went ahead as a policy decision. I didn't study it or study up on it. I did wrongly show some respect to this Viyath Maga academics who have signed off on this policy.
All I heard was it causes problems for farmers and they'd switch to organic fertilizers. I thought they'd do it systematically and in a controlled way. I didn't think 100% ban.
I thought an enthusiastic 5% pilot project maybe like in Japan who is up to 2% which is the highest in the world. This would be a great initial feasibility test to see how it pans out.
Even in developed countries, while maybe upto 10% organic goals, in Rome Italy, kids at schools get organic food, they do things gradually.
The reason I'm surprised is how they never evaluated that decision at all.
