The farmers of this region are practicing Organic Farming with indigenous knowledge system from ages. It has the natural choice for promoting and intensification of Organic Farming and has tremendous opportunity to promotion of Organic Farming for profit maximization of the farmers and for environmental sustainability. It has huge potential for organic crop production and as a tremendous scope for converting the North Eastern India as an ‘Organic Hub’ by covering its maximum of the area. Despite of long-term sustainability and environmental benefits along with lots of prospects in Organic Farming some challenges hinder the development of Organic Farming in this area. Moreover, the productivity of agricultural commodities is very low in North Eastern India which delays the socio-economic development of this region. So, utilizing the positive effects of Organic Farming in a scientific way, the productivity of cop and other agricultural commodities can be increase which may be the boon for ‘Doubling Farmers Income’ of this disadvantaged region of India regarding crop productivity and soil sustainability. Some immediate vital actions are required and simultaneously some activities are also going on by various organizations like new technology explosion for enhance the productivity which will helps for overcoming the challenges faced by the people of North Eastern India for successful implementation of Organic Farming. This book attempts to explore and highlights the present status, prospects and challenges of Organic Farming in North Eastern India, selection of suitable organic approaches for soil health management, impact of organic agriculture on environmental sustainability along with some of the tested integrated nutrient management packages of major crops suitable for socio-economic development of the Region and also cite the remedies for mitigate the challenges which are very much essential for agricultural sustainability of North Eastern Region of India.
