- Compare and contrast the challenges faced by farmers practicing organic agriculture in different parts of the country.
Organic farming in India has a vast scope due to its diverse agro-climatic regions, allowing for a wide variety of crops to be grown. Different regions offer unique opportunities for organic cultivation, from rice in the east to spices in the south and wheat in the north. The Himalayan foothills provide ideal conditions for temperate fruits, while the coastal areas support tropical fruits and vegetables. This diversity enables organic farmers to cater to various markets, both domestically and internationally, meeting the growing demand for organic produce while promoting sustainable agriculture practices. However, challenges such as access to organic inputs, certification processes, and market infrastructure need to be addressed to fully realize the potential of organic farming across the country.
