5. DEFINITION The word “ Organic” means an ecological management production system that promotes and enhances biodiversity , biological cycles and soil biological activity . It is based on the minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance “ecological harmony ”- USDA Thus, Organic farming recognizes the direct connection between our health and how the food we eat is produced. Artificial fertilizers are banned and farmers develop fertile soil by rotating crops and using compost, manure and clover.

6. PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIC FARMING :

7. REASONS FOR GROWTH OF ORGANIC FARMING: Reduce the toxic load Reduce if not eliminate off farm pollution Protect future generations Build healthy soil Taste better and true flavor Assist family farmers of all sizes Promote diversity Avoid Hasty and Poor Science in Your Food

15. CONSTRAINTS Lack of Awareness Output Marketing Problems Shortage of Bio-mass Inadequate Supporting Infrastructure High Input Costs Marketing Problems of Organic Input Absence of an Appropriate Agriculture Policy Lack of Financial Support Low Yields Inability to Meet the Export Demand Lack of Quality Standards for Bio manures SOURCE: NARAYAN

16. FUTURE PROSPECTS : Benefits of Organic Farming : DIRECT BENEFITS : Healthy Foods Improvement in Soil Quality Increased Crop Productivity and Income Low Incidence of Pests Employment Opportunities

17. INDIRECT BENEFIT: Eco-tourism is increasingly becoming popular. Protection of the ecosystem, flora, fauna and increased biodiversity. SOURCE:DR. NARAYAN
