Organic Farming
There has been a rapid increase in organic farming. This is because more and more people are aware of the chemical residues in agricultural products. While organic products are not “residue free” studies reveal that consuming organically made products can help reduce exposure to hazardous chemicals. Organic farming is a production system that avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetically compounded fertilizers; pesticides, growth regulators and livestock feed additives. To the maximum extent feasible, organic farming systems rely on crop rotations, crop residues, animal manures, legumes, green manures, off-farm organic wastes and aspects of biological pest control to maintain soil productivity and tilt, to support plant nutrients and to control insects, weeds and other pests. Purposeful usage of chemical inputs, which harm the health of living beings and environment, is restricted in organic farming.

Organic products
There are many reasons for going for organic products – from the environmental degradation caused by chemicals to the desire to support family owned farms. Even though not scientifically proved, consumers of organic food products claim that “Organic – tastes good and better.” Many organic farmers focus on growing products that are different from the usual and which also has a good flavour. The conventional producers scorn this as “unmarketable”. But the organic food lovers still grow many products in different, shapes, sizes and colour, which is well appreciated by organic lovers.
