  • Abstract:
  • Organic farming has gained significant traction in India as a sustainable agricultural practice that promises long-term ecological balance and healthier food production. This study examines the economic viability and factors influencing the adoption of organic farming in India, with a particular focus on the North-Eastern states, where traditional farming practices align closely with organic methods. Drawing on both primary and secondary data, the study assesses profitability, cost-benefit ratios, market accessibility, and policy support structures. The findings reveal that although organic farming in the region holds strong potential due to favorable agro-climatic conditions and government support through schemes like Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY), farmers face challenges such as certification costs, market linkages, and limited awareness. The study concludes with recommendations to strengthen infrastructure, marketing channels, and capacity-building initiatives to make organic farming a viable economic alternative for rural livelihoods.
