After nearly a century of neglect, organic farming is now finding its place in the mainstream of development and shows great promise from commercial, social and environmental perspectives. Although there is a continuity of thought from times past to the present, the modern organic movement is radically different from its original form. It now has environmental sustainability and productivity at its core, as well as the founders' concerns for healthy soil, healthy food and healthy people. Based on the organic farming technique, it uses organic waste such as plant remains, animals as well as agricultural waste and aquatic waste; including other biological materials, mostly produced in situ together with beneficial microbes (biofertilizers) to release nutrients to crops, which connotes the "organic" nature of organic farming. For the sake of clarity, Organic Farming (OF) is different from Certified Organic Farming (COF). While OF employs understanding and knowledge of natural processes through the relationship with the environment, COF includes checks and balances to maintain soil fertility and control of insects, pests and diseases based on commercial quality control and mechanism of marketing (NHM, 2015). . Within the philosophy of organic farming, all aspects of the agricultural system are interconnected with each other and rely on each other through organic management. This is evident from the web report explained as follows: healthy and biologically active soil is the source of crop nutrition, on-farm biodiversity controls pests, crop rotation and multiple cropping maintain system health and resource management in company with the integration of animal breeding guarantees
