Growing my own food

[aditya_]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum, i'm here to understand how difficult (or) easy is it to grow my own food. More specifically wanted to understand the following:

1) For growing small quantities of food (rice, vegetables, pulses, fruits etc) for personal consumption, is organic farming more cost effective? Why?

2) I plan to purchase 1-2 acres of land in the Nilgiris (around ketti valley). Is a hilly region like this suitable for growing my own food? What kinds of soil testing will help me find this out?

3) Does growing of desi (native) variety of crops more beneficial than growing hybrid varieties? Please help me understand the reason behind it.

I will greatly appreciate if someone can take some time out and answer one or more of my questions. Thanks in advance

Hi Arun,

However i dont think that this forum allows us to share contact details here.

So is there any way you can give me an idea of what you know?

Thanks.
