Abstract | In the agriculturally diverse terrains of Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, this study delves into the understanding and application of organic farming methodologies among local farmers. Utilising a strategic sampling approach, we engaged with 90 stakeholders across three subdivisions in Shimla District. These participants, representing a mix of farming backgrounds from various villages, provided a holistic view of the region's agricultural practices. Primary insights were gathered through a meticulously curated interview framework. The findings of this study reveal that a significant proportion of respondents possess a moderate level of perception (57.77%) and adoption (64.44%) when it comes to organic farming principles. Interestingly, the derived correlation coefficients between various determinants and core study variables (understanding and integration) hint at intricate relationships, alluding to external factors not explicitly addressed in our research. This underscores potential challenges that might be impeding the full-fledged adoption of organic practices. The research unravels the multifaceted nature of farming in Shimla and emphasises the need for specialised interventions to bridge the knowledge-implementation gap in organic farming. Such endeavours have the potential to elevate both the sustainability and productivity aspects of agriculture in this pivotal region. |
