Introduction Organic Farming is a system which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic inputs (such as fertilizers, pesticides, hormones etc.) and to the maximum extent feasible rely upon crop rotations, crop residues , animal manures, off-farm organic waste and biological system of nutrient mobilization and plant protections.
FATHER OF MODERN ORGANIC AGRICULTURE The British botanist Sir Albert Howard is often referred to as the father of modern organic agriculture. Howard, having worked in India as an agricultural researcher, gained much inspiration from the traditional and sustainable farming practices he encountered there and advocated for their adoption in the West.

Benefits of Organic Farming
Limitations of Organic Farming
COMPONENTS OF ORGANIC FARMS
Economical: In organic farming, no expensive fertilisers , pesticides, or HYV seeds are required for the plantation of crops. Therefore, there is no extra expense. Good return on Investment: With the usage of cheaper and local inputs, a farmer can make a good return on investment. High demand: There is a huge demand for organic products in India and across the globe, which generates more income through export. Nutritional: As compared to chemical and fertiliser-utilised products, organic products are more nutritional, tasty, and good for health. Environment-friendly: The farming of organic products is free of chemicals and fertilisers , so it does not harm the environment. Advantages of Organic Farming
Disadvantages of Organic Farming Incompetent: The major issue of organic farming is the lack of inadequate infrastructure and marketing of the product. Less production: The products obtained through organic farming are less in the initial years as compared to that in chemical products. So, farmers find it difficult to accommodate large-scale production. Shorter shelf life: Organic products have more flaws and a shorter shelf life than that of chemical products. Limited production: Off-season crops are limited and have fewer options in organic farming.

CONCLUSION If we take long term perspective, organic farming is necessary to sustain life on the mother earth. Looking at the current scenario when the soil in our agriculture fields are getting deteriorated due to excessive use of chemical fertilizer, Organic farming can be the best way to recharge the Mother Earth with all the natural nutrients so that human population may lead more healthier life.
