Abstract

Organic farming is acknowledged as crop production system which can sustain health of soils, ecosystems and people by combining tradition, innovation and improved farm technology. Major components generally adopted by farmers include untreated seed, biomanures and biofertilizers, biopesticides, manurecompost/vermicompost and crop diversification. Availability of organic farm inputs, certification and marketing network being the constraints for an average farmer, Indian government launched the movement by establishing national centre and regional sub-centres. In coming years, with changing pattern in consumerism, organic farming may help in providing people with foods and food products without chemicals and toxins.
