General overview on organic farming
• Organic agriculture is practiced in almost all countries
• The market of organic products is growing not only in western countries but also in developing countries
• Official interest in organic agriculture is emerging, as in case of Pakistan

Need of Time
Develop sustainable agricultural technologies for organic production systems
Conversion of conventional to organic farming (especially in case of cash crops and value added foods)
State should take interest in organic agriculture
