History and Genesis:

All India Network Programme on Organic Farming (AI-NPOF) initiated during 2004-05 by Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi with ICAR-Indian Institute of Farming Systems Research (IIFSR) as lead centre. Initially, the project was operating with 13 centres covering 12 states having mandate to develop package of practices and technologies for organic production systems. During XII plan the numbers of centres of have been increased to 20 co-operating centres covering 16 states by involving 11 State Agricultural Universities, 7 ICAR institutes and 1 deemed (special heritage) university.

Objectives:

To study productivity, profitability, sustainability, quality and input-use-efficiencies of different crops and cropping systems under organic farming in different agro-ecological regions.

To develop efficient crop and soil management options for organic farming.

To develop need-based cost-effective new techniques for farm-waste recycling.

Research Activities:

Geo-referenced characterization of organic farmers.

Evaluation of organic, inorganic and integrated production systems for crops and cropping systems.

Evaluation of response of different varieties of major crops for organic farming.

Development of Integrated Organic Farming System models.

Documentation & validation of organic ITKs.

Evaluation of organic management practices for insect pest in various crops.

Evaluation of organic management practice for diseases in crops.

Biochemical characterization & molecular identification of microbial population of different organic manures.
