Abstract

Organic farming represents a sustainable approach to agriculture that prioritizes ecological balance, soil health, and biodiversity. Unlike conventional farming, it avoids synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, relying on natural processes and inputs. This paper reviews principles of organic farming including soil health management, crop rotation, use of bio-fertilizers, and organic pest management. Certification standards such as the National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP) ensure product authenticity and consumer trust. Despite recognized benefits, organic farming faces challenges including lower yields, higher labor costs, market limitations, and policy gaps. Opportunities arise from growing consumer demand, enhanced climate resilience, and sustainability benefits. Case studies from India, the US, and Europe highlight ongoing successes and adaptation strategies. The future prospects of organic agriculture appear promising as research, policy frameworks, and market mechanisms evolve. Integrative approaches that combine traditional knowledge with scientific innovation are crucial for expanding organic farming globally and addressing food security and environmental concerns.
