IMPACT OF ORGANIC FARMING ON SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE-A REVIEW

Organic farming combines all agricultural systems that maintain ecologically, socially and economically wise agricultural production. Therefore, high-yielding varieties are used with infusions of irrigation water, fertilizers, or pesticides. This combination of high-yielding production technologies helped the country develop food surpluses and contributed to concerns about soil health, pollution, pesticide toxicity and sustainability of agricultural production. Certified organic products and their value-added products, including all types of foods including Basmati rice, legumes, honey, tea, spices, coffee, oil seeds, fruits, grains and herbal medicine, are manufactured in India. Non-edible organic products include cotton, clothing, cosmetics, functional foods, personal care products, and similar products. The production of these organic plants and products is being reviewed for sustainable agriculture in North India. Organic farming provides plants with major and micronutrients and also improves the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil.
