Economics of Organic Farming
By:Prof. Nisha Singh
Organic agriculture is a production system which voids or largely excludes the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and growth regulators. To the maximum extent feasible, organic farming system relies upon crop rotations with leguminous crops, adding of crop residues, animal manuring, , bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides.
The objective of organic agriculture is to develop a sustainable agriculture system which maintains and improves soil fertility so as to ensure adequate food production and relies as much as possible upon resources from within its own area. Agriculture is primarily applied biology and is most likely to be successful when it accepts on farm waste recycling, non-chemical weed management, biological pest control and integrated nutrient management. The greatest challenges facing the nation in the coming years are to provide safe food for the growing population in the country. The concept of food quality has changed during the recent years, increasing number of consumers in developed countries and developing countries becoming more health conscious. The international market for organic foods are expanding especially in USA, Europe and Japan. The world organic food market was estimated over US $ 26 million in 2002. Looking at the global demand of organic products, international federation for organic movement(IFOAM), European Economic Committee (EEC) etc. have a set of series of guidelines on organic farming.
