ABOUT OFAI
The Organic Farming Association of India was set up by the senior-most members of India’s organic farming community in the year 2002. The association was primarily set up to promote organic farming, lobby with government agencies and departments to pay more attention to sustainable agriculture, and assist farmers using chemicals and pesticides to convert successfully to organic farming methods.
OFAI today remains the only membership-based national association of organic farmers, organic farming promoters and green stores. By charter, the President of the association will always be an organic farmer. The association ensures gender equality in all its activities. It campaigns actively against the introduction of genetically modified organisms and seeds in India’s agriculture.
The current management team of OFAI comprises organic farmers KP Illyas as President; Prem Singh, as Secretary; and researcher-cum-organic farmer, Shamika Mone, as Treasurer.
