Community based approach of implementation of organic farming system should be the essence of organic farming. Organic farming may be best adopted in a cluster mode--this itself require community organisation and capacity building of the participating farmers. Practically, if one farmer is parcticing organic farming in the vicinity of another one practicing conventional farming with inorganic inputs will contaminate the organic produce. This is more true in small farm holding in under developed economy. Community based watershed management is the nucleus of any farming system and organic farming is no exception. A superior method of utilizing livestock excreta is through establishment of community based biogas plants. Apart from solving fuel crisis for the farming community, the biogas-spent slurry can be used for nutrient management. Self Help Groups of the farmers at village level should be organized for effective implementation of organic farming system.
