Organic farming has been perceived to be a specialized mode of farming thats only left to be practiced by the excluded farming community. Its also perceived to be expensive and solely to be practiced at large scale level.
To start, Organic farming by defination is a form of agriculture which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, plant growth regulators, and livestock feed additives.
According to the international organic farming organization IFOAM : "The role of organic agriculture, whether in farming, processing, distribution, or consumption, is to sustain and enhance the health of ecosystems and organisms from the smallest in the soil to human beings."
Approximately 31 million hectares (75 million acres) worldwide are now grown organically.
