Abstract
Organic farming is progressively gaining importance all over the world. Organic food is becoming more and more in demand as a result of growing environmental and health concerns in agriculture, making it an attractive source of rural income. Although there are indications suggesting a rise in consumer demand for organic goods, crop production sustainability has been the primary force behind agricultural growth. Globally, the organic agricultural sector is expanding substantially. The International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), a global organisation for network of organic stakeholdes, founded in 1972, framed the rules that many governments across the globe use to regulate and enforce the legality of organic agricultural practises.
