Organic farming has emerged as a vital agricultural practice globally, focusing on sustainability, environmental conservation, and health benefits. In India, where agriculture is a cornerstone of the economy, organic farming is gaining momentum as a sustainable alternative to conventional farming. North East India, with its distinctive geographical and cultural landscape, offers significant potential for organic farming to drive entrepreneurship and economic development.
