    Organic farming relies on techniques like crop rotation, green manure, compost, and biological pest control instead of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. It provides economical farming by substituting costly agricultural inputs with locally cheaper organic ones. Organic farming also generates income from exports as international demand for organically grown crops is rising, and produces more nutritious food. However, organic farms face challenges like lower initial yields, shorter shelf life for produce, and lack of infrastructure and marketing support.
