The organic farming market is anticipated to witness growth driven by its environmental benefits. Organic farming, characterized by the absence of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides that can contaminate soil and groundwater, offers ecological advantages. It also involves lower usage of non-renewable resources required for manufacturing artificial fertilizers. Organic farming contributes to soil biodiversity preservation. A study by Columbia Climate School revealed that organic farming fosters 30% more biodiversity, consumes 45% less energy, and emits 40% less carbon compared to conventional farming. Furthermore, the use of organic products has positive effects on the health of growers, workers, their families, and consumers as they are less exposed to harmful chemicals. Consequently, the demand for organic food produced through organic farming practices is on the rise, thereby propelling the growth of the organic farming market.

The primary categories of organic farming encompass pure organic farming and integrated organic farming. Integrated organic farming is characterized by its zero-waste, cyclical approach, where waste products from one facet of the operation are recycled into nutrients for other aspects of the farming process. Various techniques involved in organic farming include promoting crop diversity, managing soil health, implementing weed control strategies, and managing other organisms in an environmentally friendly manner.
