1Bhutan on the Road to Becoming Fully OrganicBhutan Mizotra Ho Any Amin'ny Voajanahary Manontolo
2The Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, famous for its “Gross National Happiness” Index instead of Gross Domestic Product, has set itself the task of becoming the first country in the world to become completely organic.Ny Fanjakan'i Bhutan Himalayan, diso fantatra loatra amin'ilay “Gross National Happiness” , na maridrefin'ny hasambarana, nasolony ny hoe Harin-karena Faobe, dia nametraka ho tanjony ny fanatratrarana ny toeran'ny firenena voalohany eto an-tany mitodika manontolo amin'ny voajanahary.
3Jessica Carter, an Australian media and international development professional, shares the news in her blog “Red Shoes and Cobblestones”:Jessica Carter, matianina iray amin'ny sehatry ny media sy ny fampandrosoana iraisam-pirenena, dia mizara ny vaovao ao amin'ny bilaoginy “Red Shoes and Cobblestones” (Kiraro Mena sy Rarivato):
4The small kingdom of 1.2 million people made an announcement that they would become the first wholly organic country in the world by banning the sale of chemical pesticides and fertilisers.Nanao fanambaràna ilay fanjakàna kely ahitàna vahoaka 1,2 tapitrisa fa ho ry zareo no firenena voalohany eto ambonin'ny tany hitodika tanteraka amin'ny voajanahary amin'ny fandraràòna ny famarotàna zezika sy famonoana bibikely mampiasa akora simika.
5It's not the first time that Bhutan's approach has raised eyebrows, and that's probably because it's not the first time they've chosen a solution that bucks the trends being followed by the rest of the world.Tsy vao voalohany izao ny fomba fanaon'ny Bhutan no nampihiratra ny maso, ary eritreretina hoe satria tsy voalohany izao ry zareo no nisafidy vahaolana izay mandeha mifanohitra amin'ny fironana arahan'ny ambiny eto amin'izao tontolo izao.
6Explaining that decision, the minister of agriculture and forests, a farmer himself, was quoted as saying quite simply that:Amin'ny fanazavana ny zava-mitranga, ny minisitry ny fambolena sy ny ala, izay tantsaha rahateo, dia nitanisa tamin'ny filazàna tsotra fa :
7“We like to see plants happy and insects happy”“Tianay ho hita faly ny zavamaniry ary sambatra ny bibikely”
8Agriculture in Bhutan contributes to 35. 9% of GDP of the nation.Manome ny 35% amin'ny harin-karena faobe ao Bhutan ny fambolena .

14Bhutan's online news site BBS has reported that the Buddhist Kingdom is putting in place a Bhutan Organic Certification System (BOCS) in order to “ensure that vegetables are 100 percent organic”.Ny tranonkalam-baovao Bhutan, BBS dia nitatitra fa ilay Fanjaàna Bodista dia an-dalam-pametrahana ny “Bhutan Organic Certification System (BOCS)”, Mari-pamantarana ny Rafitra Voajanahary Bhutan mba “hiantohana fa 100 isan-jato voajanahary tokoa ireo legioma”.
15BBS interviewed a consultant with Bhutan's Agriculture and Food Regulatory Authority explaining how the BOCS works:Nitafatafa taminà mpanohana ara-kevitra ny Sampan-draharaha mpandrindra ny Seha-pambolena sy ny ara-tSakafo ao Bhutan ny BBS hanazavàna ny fomba fiasan'ny BOCS :
16“We have developed a simple farmer's diary which can be written in using Dzongkha …The farmers can note down their farm activities, where their seeds/manure are from, the type of bio-pesticides used.“Nandrafitra diary tsotra ho an'ireo tantsaha izahay, izay afaka soratana amin'ny Dzongkha (tenim-paritra any Bhutan)… Azon'ireo tantsaha marihana ao ny asany andavanandro, ny toerana niavian'ny masomboly/zezika, ny karazana famonoana bibikely amin'ny fomba voajanahary nampiasainy.
17Every aspect of farming is documented…and verified by trained BAFRA inspectors by visiting the farms”, says a consultant with BAFRA, Dr.A Thimmaiah.”Voarakitra daholo ny endrika asa an-tsaha rehetra…ary amarinin'ireo mpanara-maso nofanin'ny BAFRA amin'ny fitsidihana ireo toeram-pitrandrahana”, hoy ny mpanohana ara-kevitra iray avy amin'ny BAFRA, Dr.A Thimmaiah.”
18BHT (@BHTFLASHNEWS) also announced that decision on Twitter:BHT (@BHTFLASHNEWS) koa dia nanambàra izay fanapahan-kevitra izay tao amin'ny Twitter:

20But as Singapore's Nanyang Technological University's Journalism Blog “Go Far Bhutan” reminded us that the challenges are great:Saingy araka ny ampahatsiahivan'ilay mpanao gazetin'ny Nanyang Technological University azy ho antsika ao amin'ny bilaogy “Go Far Bhutan” (Tohizo Lavitra ry Bhutan) dia goavana ireo fanamby :
21Many Bhutanese farmers live in remote villages, while others find that their crops do not thrive without pesticides and fertilizers.Betsaka amin'ireo Bhutanese tantsaha no monina any amin'ny tany lavitr'andriana, ka ny sasany dia mahita hoe tsy miainga mihitsy ny vokatr'izy ireo raha tsy misy zezika sy famonoana bibikely.
22The country only produces 60 per cent of the crops it needs, never mind whether they are organic or not.60 isanjato amin'ny masomboly ilainy fotsiny no vokarin'ny fireneny, tsy ijerena ny hoe voajanahary ve ireo sa tsia.
23This weed grows wild in Bhutan and they feed it to pigs.Ity ahitra ity izao dia mitsiry eny rehetra eny ao Bhutan ary atao sakafon-kisoa.

26On the other hand, it is worth noting that according to news site “The Bhutanese”, Pema Gyamtsho, Bhutan's Minister of Agriculture and Forests, denied making such announcement officially in the first place after concerns raised by Opposition Leader Tshering Tobgay who was quoted as saying:Etsy andaniny, tena ilaina ny anipihana fa araka ny ambaran'ny tranonkalam-baovao “The Bhutanese”, Pema Gyamtsho, Minisitry ny Fambolena sy Ala ao Bhutan, dia nandà ny hanao fanambaràna amin'ny fomba ofisialy tahaka izany taorian'ny ahiahy napongatr'i Tshering Tobgay ilay mpitarika ny Fanoherana izay lazaina fa niteny hoe :
27“It worries me because it's a national pledge which can have huge impact on our farmers who are dependent on income from agricultural activities”“Mampanahy ahy izy ity satria fandraisana andraikitra nasionaly izay mety hisy fiantraikany goavana eo amin'ireo mpambolintsika miankina tanteraka amin'ny vola miditra azony amin'ny asa fambolena”
28He further stated that while phasing out chemicals is a good idea, the reality on the ground makes its realization a hard task for the same reasons mentioned above.Lavidavitra kokoa dia nilaza izy fa raha hevitra tsara ny fiheverana hanilika ny akora simika, ny tena zava-misy eny an-kianja dia mahatonga ny fanatanterahana azy io ho asa sarotra noho iretsy antony efa nolazaina tery ambony.
29“Some farmers can hardly produce sufficient food for personal consumption, let alone cash crops”“Ny tantsaha sasany dia zara raha mahavokatra sakafo sahaza ho an'ny filàny, tsy lazaina intsony ny resaka masomboly”
30It is also worth noting that going fully organic is already being attempted in other parts of the world.Ilaina ihany koa ny manipika fa ny fizorana ho amin'ny voajanahary tanteraka dia efa ezaka natao tany amin'ny toerana hafa teto amin'izao tontolo izao.
31Indeed, TreeHugger reported that the Indian State of Sikkim is already one-third of the way of being completely organic by 2015.Izay indrindra, nitatitra ny TreeHugger fa ny Fanjakàna Indiana ao Sikkim no efa nahavita sahady ny ampahatelon'ny làlany ho any amin'ny maha-firenena miaina tanteraka ny voajanahary amin'ny 2015.
32Sikkim's state agricultural minister was quoted in Calcutta's “The Telegraph” explaining how their process works:Ny minisi-panjakana momba ny fambolena ao Sikkim dia voatanisa tao amin'ny “The Telegraph” tany Calcutta, nanazava ny fomba fizotran'ny dingana nataon-dry zareo:
33The organic certification is a three-year process.Ilay mari-pamantarana ny maha-voajanahary dia dingana arahana mandritra ny telo taona.
34Three agencies accredited to the APEDA issued C-1 certificates to 12,456 registered farmers who own 18,453 hectares in four districts of the state.Masoivoho telo nomen'ny APEDA alàlana no namoaka ny mari-pamantarana C-1 ho an'ireo tantsaha 12.456 voarakitra anarana izay nahazo 18.453 hektara tany aminà distrika efatra teo amin'ny fanjakàna.
35The land gets the C-1 tag in the first year, followed by a C-2 in the second, and C-3 in the following years.Mahazo ny marika C-1 ilay tany amin'ny taona voalohany, arahan'ny C-2 amin'ny taona faharoa, ary C-3 ny taona manaraka.
36The C-3 tag denotes that any crop produced on a particular plot is organic.Ny marika C-3 dia anondroana fa voajanahary daholo ny vo9katra miakatra amin'ny tany iray voafaritra manokana.
37That being said, the very idea of Bhutan turning completely organic was received with enthusiasm among the world's netizens.Rehefa voalaza izay, ilay hevitra hamadika an'i Bhutan ho tena miaina ny voajanahary tanteraka dia nankasitrahan'ireo mpisera anaty aterineto erantany tamin-karavoana.
38School Administrator Judith Renaud (@JudithRenaud) tweets that:Judith Renaud (@JudithRenaud), mpandraharaha mpitantana sekoly, dia mibitsika fa :
39@JudithRenaud (Judith Renaud): Bhutan will show the world that we can defend our land, our food and ourselves against those who wish to poison us. http://bit.ly/YroO4m@JudithRenaud (Judith Renaud): Hasehon'i Bhutan amin'izao tontolo izao fa azontsika atao ny miaro ny tanintsika, ny sakafontsika ary ny tenantsika manoloana ireo maniry hanapoizina antsika. http://bit.ly/YroO4m
40Citizens Action Network members also announced their excitement on Facebook.Ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny “Citizens Action Network” koa dia nanambàra ny fintanentanan-dry zareo tao amin'ny Facebook.
