Soreng in Sikkim has been designated as the country's first organic fisheries cluster, marking a significant milestone for sustainable aquaculture in India.
Sikkim has made history in the sector of sustainable aquaculture by designating the Soreng region as India's first organic fisheries cluster. This initiative aims to promote environmentally friendly fish farming practices that align with global organic standards.
The development is expected to boost the livelihoods of local communities in Soreng by providing them with a structured framework for organic production. By focusing on organic methods, the cluster seeks to enhance the quality of fish products while minimizing environmental impact.
This milestone positions Sikkim as a pioneer in the organic fisheries sector in India. The move is likely to encourage similar initiatives in other states, fostering a broader culture of sustainable agriculture and aquaculture across the country.
