Title: Organic Farming in India: Principles, Practices, Environmental Implications, Current Scenario, and Future Perspectives
Abstract: Agriculture plays a central role in India’s economy and rural livelihoods. Yet, the long-term reliance on intensive chemical inputs following the Green Revolution has raised concerns regarding soil degradation, environmental sustainability, and food safety. In this context, organic farming has emerged as an alternative agricultural approach that emphasizes ecological balance, resource recycling, and reduced dependence on synthetic inputs. This review examines the conceptual foundations, principles, and practices associated with organic farming while highlighting its relevance in the Indian agricultural context. The study also reviews the current status of organic farming in India, the environmental and nutritional implications of organic food production, and the growing consumer interest in organically produced commodities. Government initiatives and policy interventions aimed at promoting organic agriculture are also discussed as important drivers for sectoral growth.
Keywords: organic farming, sustainable agriculture, soil health, ecological balance, organic food production, environmental sustainability
