Abstract

Organic farming is the most sought after solution to the modern day farming issues. Both sustainable and hazard free, it remains a better option than chemical farming. Its practice not only ensures a better environment to live, but also helps in averting health hazards caused due to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It can also be said organic farming will lead to a comprehensive restructuring of the environmental sector. A timely, inclusive and sustainable transformation can be attained only through organic farming. Given the growth of organic sector, many farmers are shifting from inorganic farming to organic farming over the years. The shift to organic farming has propelled a significant shift in the growth of organic market. To reap the dividends of organic farming, the government should bring about a paradigm shift in creating awareness and boosting the sector. In light of these developments, the present study has been taken up to study and analyse the Farmers’ attitude towards organic farming adoption in Tamil Nadu.
