Bhutan’s government has unveiled a new nationwide organic farming initiative aimed at transforming the country’s agricultural practices. The program will provide subsidies to farmers for organic seeds and fertilizers while promoting traditional farming methods. Bhutan hopes to position itself as a global leader in organic food production. Training programs will also be launched to educate farmers on sustainable agricultural techniques. This initiative aligns with Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness philosophy, which emphasizes environmental protection and community well-being.
