This research paper analyzes the comparative study of organic food products and non organic food products in India. Increasing use of chemicals, pesticides under intensive cultivation has destroyed the existing soil texture, plants and animals and human health. The access use of chemicals and antibiotics in inorganic food products has compelled the health conscious consumers to explore and support organic food in India. Standards vary worldwide, but organic food products in general practices that strive to cycle resources, promote eco-friendly environment, and conservation of biodiversity biodiversity. Organizations regulating organic food products may restrict the use of certain pesticides, chemicals and fertilizers in organic farming. In general, organic foods are also usually not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents or synthetic food additives. On other hand non organic food products are contained pesticides, herbicides, highly toxic chemical residues and Contaminated Sewage Sludge. This study reveals the fact that the organic food products are better in health, taste, and quality and rich in balance of vitamins and minerals than inorganically grown food.
