Abstract
This investigation will mostly focus on the organic farming practices and product quality. Although organic agriculture has become more well-known in recent years, there is still much to learn about this method of producing food, including how it may affect the wellness of consumers and other environmental factors. Human health is the most important factor to consider when it comes to eating. The environment is exposed to a multitude of pesticides, and heavy metals from industrial waste and these pollutants contaminate irrigated water, endangering human health. A lower Body Mass Index (BMI) and obesity, changes in blood nutritional composition, and a lower risk of preeclampsia associated with pregnancy and maternal obesity have all been associated with increased consumption of organic foods. In this way, research assessing organic food products assessed the critical domain of nutritional quality. The key objective of the present research was to evaluate the nutritional content of fruits, vegetables, and other commonly grown organic food in India.
