Organic farming has been followed from ancient time in India. It is a unique method which is primarily aimed at use of organic products and bio-fertilizers in crop cultivation to release nutrients to crops for increased sustainable production in a healthy environment.

The organic foods offer higher returns in comparison to conventional foods. The market for organic foods is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 20-22%.
