The organic farming market is associated with the sales of produces by farms that produce them in organic ways.

This has many benefits to the environment and the individuals using these yields.
North America was the largest region in the organic farming market in 2019. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the forecast period.
Less productivity of organic food is expected to hinder the organic farming market. According to the USDA 2018 data and many other studies, the yield of organic farming is significantly less compared to the conventional farming. So, the latter is preferred to organic farming to ensure food security as organic farming is expected to cause a scarcity due to lower yield. It doesn’t meet the needs of rising population and thereby doesn’t meet the definition of food security by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The less productivity of organic farming therefore is expected to hinder the market.

Environmental gain from organic farming is expected to drive the organic farming market. Organic farming is highly beneficial to the environment as it does not use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides that cause soil and groundwater contamination. Also, the usage of non-renewable resources that are needed for the development of such artificial fertilizers is less. Organic farming preserves biodiversity of the soil. According to the Organic Trade Association 2019 report, if every U.S. farmer switched to organic farming, annually nearly 500 million pounds of residual and toxic pesticides can removed from getting into the atmosphere. The use of organic products also have a beneficial impact on the health of organic growers, assistants, their families and customers, as they are less exposed to harmful chemicals. Therefore environmental benefits of organic farming coupled with health benefits of organic products is increasing the demand for organic food (food produced through the process of organic farming) which in turn is driving the market for Organic farming.
