Agriculture is the main stay of India’s economy. Agricultural development is therefore, a precondition of our national prosperity hence Indian agriculture system has taken up new modifications and changes by turning towards organic farming and implementation in conventional farming. Organic crops are crops which are grown without use of synthetic fertilizers and the grains/ seeds which are used for sowing are complete organic variety of grains. They contain all kind of nutritious qualities and are completely healthy. Organic farming refers to a technique, which involves the cultivation of plants and rearing of animals in natural ways. This process involves the use of biological materials, avoiding synthetic substances to maintain soil fertility and ecological balance thereby minimizing pollution and wastage. GM crops include the genetic modification in the genes of the crops so as to increase the resistance of the crops from certain pests , diseases, environmental conditions, reduction of spoilage, resistance to chemical treatments or improving nutritional profile of crops. Conventional farming also known as industrial agriculture, refers to farming systems which include the use of synthetic chemicals fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other continual inputs, genetically modified organisms, concentrated animal feeding operations, heavy irrigation, intensive tillage, etc Objectives of this study were to evaluate the perception of farmers towards GM technology as producers and as a consumer, know the Organic and Conventional farmer’s attitude towards Agricultural sustainability, find out the consumer opinion towards organic and GM crops production at a commercial level, find the ways for minimizing the cost of cultivation of organic farm products. This study concluded that the demand for organic product is high but the population of farmers who are doing organic farming is less as compare to the farmers doing conventional farming.
