Abstract

Organic Farming is a form of agriculture that yields crops in the most environment friendly manner and hereby intended to preserve the environment. United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Organic Regulations restrict the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides and some other conventional tools that are found to be hazardous to environment in longer run. This white paper highlights common challenges and opportunities for Organic farming globally.
