This book is very useful for the researchers, scientists, and agriculture students for the understanding of the status and challenges of organic agriculture and how it enhances agro-ecosystem health including biodiversity, biological cycle, and soil biological activity. It also helps to know insights of organic agriculture and how it follows the principles and logic of living organisms in which all elements are closely linked with one another which is accomplished by using various agronomic, biological, and mechanical methods. This book would also impart knowledge and proficiency in organic production practices, certification process, marketing of organically raised agricultural produces and promote self- employment and income generation and build the capacity amongst the individuals in on-farm input generation for plant nutrition and plant protection by using organic farming methods and making them self-reliant for agricultural inputs. This book gathers review articles that analyse current organic agriculture practices, principles, knowledge, and proposed solutions. It contains fifteen reviews on the production, practices, integrated pest management, implications of organic farming, safety issues, organic meat, organic certification, and health and nutrition. The reviews and future research directions presented in this valuable book will be helpful to students, researchers, farmers, and policy-makers
