In Sikkim, the Soreng district has started producing organic fish, becoming the country’s first organic fisheries cluster.
The organic fisheries cluster focuses on ecologically healthy fish farming systems avoiding the use of harmful chemicals, antibiotics and pesticides.
One village of the district has been adopted for organic fishing initially on a pilot basis.
This initiative would help to boost the income of the farmers and also to provide chemical and pesticide-free organic fish.
The Sikkim government has already adopted organic farming in the state, which helped in building a strong reputation for sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural practices.
