"Our food was our medicine but today hospitals are packed with patients and even doctors are forced to take medicines. The main reason for this is increasing chemicals and fertilisers which have spoiled the nature and health of the soil," he said.

The need to adopt flexible conservation policies by modifying traditional farm practices was also stressed at the one-day workshop.

Himalayan Research Group director Dr Lal Singh said the purpose of the workshop was to gather baseline information regarding agro-economics programmes, farm practices, productivity, and impact on environment for preparing a roadmap for sustainable and nutritious food production.
