India is witnessing a strong revival of natural and sustainable agriculture practices. With increasing consumer demand for chemical-free food, the government has introduced new financial incentives to support organic cultivation. The Organic Farming Subsidy 2025 brings focused assistance to farmers transitioning to organic methods, offering funding, certification support, and training under central and state-level schemes.
This initiative is a key part of India’s goal to reduce dependence on synthetic inputs, improve soil health, and promote export-quality organic produce. Whether you’re an individual farmer, a member of an FPO, or part of a tribal farming cluster — there’s support available in 2025.
