Guidelines to Identify and Incentivize Farmers Practicing Organic Farming and Using Eco-Friendly Fertilizers and Pesticides in Haryana

This foundational policy paper makes the case for Haryana's transition to organic and natural farming. It documents the agricultural baseline across soil degradation, pesticide-linked health impacts, and groundwater contamination, and lays out the economic case — including a 105% premium for organic basmati and India's organic market projected at INR 51,560 crore by 2025. The current policy landscape is mapped across central schemes and Haryana's own Natural Farming Scheme. A comparative analysis of ten state models yields transferable lessons. The paper proposes a six-pillar framework covering farmer identification, certification, financial incentives, eco-friendly inputs, market linkage, and digital monitoring, mapped to SDGs 2, 3, 6, 12, 13, and 15.
