Organic farming is a sustainable agriculture production system is being followed from ancient times in India. The natural resource management and biodiversity conservation is a core principle of organic agriculture. During post independence, the most important challenge in country has been to produce enough food grain for the growing population. Hence, high-yielding production system contributing to concerns of soil health, agrosphere, environmental pollution, chemical fertilizers, agrochemicals and sustainability of agricultural production. This process involves the use of biological wastes (crop, animal and farm wastes, aquatic wastes), biological materials, avoiding synthetic substances to maintain soil fertility and ecological balance thereby minimizing environmental pollution. Organic farming is a farming system that involves growing and nurturing crops without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Also, no genetically modified organisms are permitted. The primary aim of organic farming is to keep the soil alive in good health through the use of biological wastes and other biological materials along with beneficial microbes to release macronutrients and micronutrients to crops for increased sustainable production in an eco friendly pollution free environment. Organic farming provides quality food is beneficial to human health and practice keeps the environmental friendly. The production of these organic crops is reviewed with regard to sustainable agriculture in Chhattisgarh.
