This poster presentation summarizes organic farming and organic food production. Organic farming relies on techniques like crop rotation, green manure, compost and biological pest control to maintain soil productivity without using chemicals. India ranks 8th in the world for organic agricultural land and is the largest producer of organic products. As of 2021, over 4 million hectares in India are under organic certification and India produces over 3.4 million metric tons of certified organic products annually, exporting around 888 thousand metric tons worth over 70 billion rupees. The presentation concludes that organic farming is a sustainable and eco-friendly way to produce value-added organic food and create a cleaner environment.

Conclusion
Organic farming appears to be a sustainable, economic and eco-
friendly, since there is no risk of residual toxicity. It improves
soil fertility and yield quality. So this organic farming can be
used not only to create a cleaner environment but also to produce
value added organic food.
