Organic farming is the proven method of agriculture practiced through centuries. This system relies on ecosystem and frees the land of its dependency on the external synthetic inputs to retain its productivity. It is a system that begins to consider potential environmental and social impacts by eliminating the use of synthetic inputs, such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, genetically modified seeds and breeds, preservatives, additives and irradiation.

Advantages of organic farming are widespread covering every aspect of agriculture. To name a few its major advantages include the following:

• Chemical free soil
• Improved bio diversity
• Retention of soil fertility
• Employment generation at the local level
• Environment friendliness · High nutrition value
• No side effects
• Low energy inputs
• High premium value in the global market
• Leads to diversification of farm activity

Even the studies, conducted from time to time, have made it aptly clear that organic farming is the only way to achieve sustainability at the grassroots. Studies have also indicated the environmental benefits of growing food organically. It can improve biodiversity, protect wildlife habitats and prevent the toxicity in three essential life supporting elements; water, air and soil.

Research also indicates that the soil building process in organic farming stores significantly higher levels of carbon dioxide, thus providing a way to help reduce global warming.

Some of the major benefits of organic foods include the following:
IDEAL FOR GROWING CHILDREN
Children's developing organs, brains, and detoxification and immune systems, plus their larger intake of food per kilo of body weight, combine to make them even more susceptible to toxins than adults. Plan their diet in safe and healthy manner with complete organic foods.

NUTRITIOUS & TASTES GREAT
The well-balanced soil grows strong and healthy crops that are nutritious and have great taste. Further, the natural growth of fruits and vegetables imparts a unique flavor admired by all.

REDUCED HEALTH RISKS
Consuming organic products is not only means to improve one's nutrient intake, but it may be the safest. Many researchers have approved that higher pesticide residue are the cause of cancer and other diseases in human. Organic agriculture is the only way to keep them from getting into our body thus reducing health risks.

STRINGENT STANDARDS
The organic certification is the public assurance that products have been grown and handled according to strict procedures without persistent toxic chemical inputs. It also prohibits the use of GMO's and antibiotics.

PROTECTS BIO DIVERSITY
We lose billion of tons of topsoil due to conventional agricultural practices. Organic farming has emerged has as a better way of building up soil than no-till practice. It also improves the quality of the soil.

PREVENT WATER CONTAMINATION
The elimination of polluting chemicals and nitrogen leaching, done in combination with soil building, protects and conserves water resources. Organic farming reduces toxic farm runoff and pollutants that contaminate water.

PRESERVE DIVERSITY
The loss of large variety of species is one of the major environmental concerns of today. Cultivation of same crop on the piece of land has not only resulted in infertility of the soil but subsequent loss of the species. Organic farming counteracts the loss. Organic farming practices crop rotation and provide farmer opportunity to preserve seeds and grow unusual varieties.

SUPPORTS SMALL FARMERS
Organic products have become the lifeline of small farmers with cost-effective technique of farming. It has developed an alternative market where the farmer can get fair prices and reap better profits.

HARMONY WITH NATURE
The organic practice respects the balance demanded of a healthy ecosystem that includes forage crops, retaining fence- rows, wetlands and other natural areas. It preserves biodiversity and encourages wildlife.
