Organic Farming in India: A Greener Future

What is Organic Farming?

A system that avoids synthetic chemicals and relies on compost, manure, bio-fertilizers, and natural pest control.

From pure organic to natural farming, India practices multiple sustainable approaches to grow safe and healthy food.

Strict use of natural inputs like compost, neem extracts, and biopesticides - no chemicals allowed.

Combines organic and modern methods - uses crop residues, animal waste, and agroforestry for balanced farming.

Designing farms like natural ecosystems - focus on soil health, water harvesting, and self-sufficiency.

Uses cosmic rhythms and special preparations to boost soil fertility. Popular in vineyards and tea estates.

Relies on desi cow dung, urine, and natural solutions like Jeevamrut. Widely adopted in Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.

Healthier food, improved soil, cleaner water, biodiversity, lower costs, and safer farm conditions.

Supports small farmers, meets rising demand, builds climate resilience, and boosts exports of cotton, spices, and pulses.

Schemes like PKVY, MOVCDNER, and NPOP provide subsidies, certification, and training for organic farmers.

With rising consumer demand and global opportunities, organic farming is set to power India’s sustainable agriculture future.
