Department of Agriculture, Government of Karnataka

The Government of Karnataka established an organic-farming policy in 2004 to promote organic agriculture in the state. High-level empowered committees have been constituted to implement the policy. As a first step towards promotion of organic farming, an organic village/site programme was initiated in 2004 under which model organic farming sites, one in each district, are being developed. This unique approach is the first of its kind in India. Nongovernmental organizations are implementing this project in association with the Department of Agriculture.
