What are the major barriers faced by farmers in transitioning to organic farming under the current policy framework, and what policy reforms or institutional support mechanisms can facilitate a smoother transition?
Farmers transitioning to organic farming face several major barriers, including high initial costs, lower yields, marketing difficulties, limited access to organic inputs, and a lack of awareness and training, all exacerbated by a lack of adequate policy support.

[These barriers may include high production costs, marketing difficulties, lack of access to financial resources, and inadequate government support. For example, the high cost of organic inputs can pose a significant challenge, especially for small-scale farmers.]
