Sikkim, the organic kingdom
Last week we posted on Facebook news from El País in which he discussed Sikkim and its organic crops, which particularly caught our attention. Sikkim is a state nestled in the Himalayas, with no rail connections or commercial flights to date. But Sikkim succeeded in its mission, overcoming every obstacle. 12 years ago, in 2003, when the government led by Pawan Chamling decided to make Sikkim a state of organic farming through a declaration in the legislature. Today, it has become India's first fully organic state by implementing organic practices on about 75,000 hectares of agricultural land.
