Abstract
Organic food products are produced by organic farming techniques and tools. Such practices are primarily aimed at sustainable agricultural production in an eco-friendly, pollution-free environment. The major focus here is on using naturally available resources, such as organic wastes (crop, animal and farm wastes, aquatic wastes) and other biological materials along with beneficial microbes (biofertilisers/biocontrol agents), as inputs, to release nutrients to crops and protect them from insects, pests and diseases, for increased agricultural production.
