Abstract
Organic farming is a sustainable agricultural approach that emphasizes the exclusion of synthetic inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and growth regulators, focusing instead on enhancing soil health, ecosystem balance, and human well-being. This system integrates traditional knowledge with innovative practices, aiming to optimize crop productivity while minimizing environmental impacts. Organic farming's key principles include the use of local renewable resources, promotion of biodiversity, and maintenance of long-term soil fertility through natural processes. The adoption of organic farming in India has significant potential for rural economic development by reducing production costs, improving soil quality, and creating job opportunities. Despite initial challenges, organic farming offers long-term economic and environmental benefits, making it a vital component of sustainable agriculture. This paper explores the importance of organic farming in the context of India's rural economy, its advantages, and the strategies needed to promote its widespread adoption.
