Agriculture is known to be a source of food for a population of one billion and is a primary source of raw materials in agro-based industries. Adverse effects of modern agricultural practice are now well known to mankind. Indian farming is said to be becoming non-viable and contribution of farming to Indian economy is decreasing with increase in inputs every decade. Also, this phenomenon in the past, has resulted in migration of more and more youth, from rural areas to urban centers, generating a chain of other phenomena and ill effects of the same. Hence an immediate need is to re-evaluate the agriculture system and find remedies to make it viable again. The Paper hence tries to understand and identify the key aspects behind 'Why in spite of all the benefits and historic linkages, Organic Farming in India is not gaining the pace it should'. Through literature reviews and primary study, the paper gives an insight into current scenario of farming in India; organic farming and its advantages; organic farming in Indian scenario and its influences on major sectors in India and; problems and constraints in organic farming. Based on these, conclusion and recommendations are provided that are general as well as specific, considering urban and regional planning as a lens.
