  • Organic farming is a growing movement with increasing demand for organic products. Organic farming in India is still in its early stages but it has the potential to grow. India has the highest number of organic products in the world. Sikkim became the world’s first 100% organic state in 2016. According to FiBL survey 2021 India holds a unique position among 187 countries practicing organic agriculture. Fruits and vegetables (mango, banana, ginger) Grains (wheat, rice, pulses) Spices (turmeric, cardamom) Organic cotton are the major organic products in India. Organic farming offers a sustainable solution to environmental degradation and climate change. The present study reviews the advantages of organic farming. However, challenges persist including limited availability of organic produce and high certification costs.
