Non organic food and chemical intake has been associated with a variety of infections and disorders, notably cancer, digestive dysfunction, headaches, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), prenatal deformities, a compromised immune system and early mortality. Organic foods are pesticide-free and it is beneficial for overall health. Organic farming initiated 1000 years ago, once mediaeval farmers began cultivating along riverbeds based on natural resources. Organic food and food products are the finest healthy food which can be consumed without causing harm to body, soil nutrients, environment, or biodiversity. This approach quickly is becoming well-known because of its significance and importance from a public health perspective covering 20 to 30 % of India's entire agricultural area. Organic farming is an ideal type of agriculture when compared to chemical-based agriculture, since it reserves integrity of soil and environment while also providing high-quality agricultural products for a healthy lifestyle such as fruits, vegetables, grains, pulses, and other foods. People nowadays are increasingly concerned about the nutritional quality of their diet. There is a need to do more research and analysis to rationalise and justify the value of organic food and food products, which are more nutritious and healthy compared to nonorganic or conventional foods. The comparative aspects of organic vs nonorganic farming along with biodiversity and environmental benefits of organic farming have been focused in this study. The present study also focused on the promotion of organic food consumption and its benefits from a public health perspective in the current scenario. The scope of organic food can be converted into revenue generation for better and healthier tomorrow.
