ABSTRACT

Organic farming through sustainable agriculture meets not only the food requirements of present generation in an environment friendly way but also the requirements of future generations and maintains our environment. Modern agriculture involving use of pesticides and fertilizers have caused negative impact on environment by affecting soil fertility, water hardness, development of insect resistance, genetic variation in plants, increase in toxic residue through food chain and animal feed thus increasing health problems and many more serious health concerns and degradation of environment. Organic farming provides macronutrients and micronutrients to the plants and also improves soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics of soil.

Keywords: Organic Farming, Sustainable Agriculture, Modern Agriculture
