    Summary:

    Consumers across the countries are becoming wary of products containing
    pollutants. Recently, there has been spurt in demand for the foods grown
    organically. With agriculture becoming market savvy, it is high time to
    generate market driven forces. Organic Farming has emerged as an
    alternative farming system, which not only address the climate change
    impacts and sustainability but also ensure quality and profitable livelihood for
    rural communities. The crop economics results have shown positive results
    on organic farming. In general, organic farming involves low energy inputs
    and higher labor cost in comparison to conventional farming and the cost of
    cultivation is almost equal or little less than conventional farming techniques.
    But at the same time a premium price for organic produce and increasing
    demand due to awareness and increasing disposable incomes fetch more
    profits. Simultaneously, the soil health is also improved by practicing organic
    farming.
