"Organic farming has experienced steady growth recently and has gradually emerged as a viable substitute for high-cost, high-polluting mechanized farming across the world, including in India. This book provides a vivid presentation of the economics of organic farming, which makes it, arguably, the first of its kind in India. The book closely analyses the reasons behind the exceptional performance of some Indian states compared to others and of some countries compared to others in Asia. It describes the state-wise growth of the organic market in India as a result of the proactive policies and actions of the more exceptionally performing states. Organic Farming: Economics, Policy and Practices also presents exhaustively the international rules and regulations based on four principles-health, ecology, fairness and care-which form the basis for the formulation of rules and regulations by all countries. These, in turn, further enable the expansion and development of organic farming along scientific and democratic lines. The book will therefore prove indispensable in understanding the dynamics of this rapidly growing field of activity"--
