Abstract Abstract: Agriculture remains the cornerstone of India's socio-economic fabric, supporting over half of its population. Over time, farming practices have evolved from traditional, low-input methods to modern, chemically intensive systems aimed at maximizing productivity. While these modern techniques brought food security and export opportunities, they also caused severe ecological and health-related consequences. In contrast, organic and low-cost natural farming are emerging as viable alternatives focused on sustainability and long-term environmental health.This research paper investigates the comparative dynamics of traditional, modern, and organic farming in India, particularly in the agriculturally significant state of Haryana. Drawing data from 150 farmers across the districts of Hisar and Kurukshetra, the study evaluates socio-economic profiles, farming preferences, satisfaction levels, and environmental impact across the three farming methods. Although Haryana has a relatively small area under organic cultivation, its high export ranking suggests substantial untapped potential for scaling eco-friendly agriculture.The study finds that organic and natural farming are gaining acceptance due to their lower input costs, better environmental outcomes, and potential for premium markets. However, challenges such as lack of infrastructure, certification difficulties, and knowledge gaps remain persistent barriers. The paper recommends stronger policy support, improved infrastructure, and farmer training to facilitate the transition toward sustainable agriculture. It concludes that a hybrid model combining traditional wisdom and scientific innovation is essential for a resilient agricultural future in India..
