Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures are includes : (i) use if high yielding varieties, hybrids may impact local diversity; (ii) increased use of pesticides in more quantities than desired leading to runoff into water bodies and polluting them and polluting environment,negative effects on health etc. soil degradation due to fertilizer use in more quantities (without soil testing) and high uptake of nutrients due to high responding varieties; (iv) adopt organic manuring practices as far as possible. Any chemical fertilizer application should be based on soil testing; (v) storage of grains andproducts like turmeric, redgram etc. needs drying to attain prescribed moisturelevel to avoid pest and disease infestation which may call for chemical use for management; (vi) storage facility should be wellventilated and free of moisture seepage. Care must be taken to ensure this during construction or renting of such facilities; (vii) use energy efficient equipmentfor processing (such as steam boilers in turmeric, steam roaster in cashew or aquapulper in coffee); (viii) organic produce may get contaminated when transported along with other non food commodities like fertilizers, pesticides etc.; (ix) lack of proper facilities toworkers may result in health issues; (x) increase the participation of women, especially those from the poor families; strengthen women in decision making;
