Organic farming in India has gained increasing attention due to rising concerns over health, environmental sustainability, and the negative impacts of chemical-based agriculture. The research aims to track the growth of organic farming over the years in different parts of India and the constraints farmers face in adopting organic farming despite the state's promotional relief. The study is based on secondary data collected through various journals, official sites, and government annual reports. Supported by government schemes like PKVY and NPOP, it offers benefits such as improved soil health, lower input costs, premium market prices, and employment opportunities. The area covered by organic certification is growing gradually in spite of obstacles like limited awareness, marketing problems, and certification fees. Leading this expansion are states like Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, which show a slow transition to sustainable agricultural methods.
