The Organic Farming Association of India (OFAI) is the country’s only organization of grassroots organic farmers. Since Indian agriculture continues to remain a source of livelihood for mostly small farmers and peasants, OFAI membership reflects this ground reality as well.

OFAI is also committed to active involvement of women farmers in the decision-making structures of the association. Such involvement is mandatory and reflected in the organisation’s bye-laws.

The association – which is registered under the Indian Societies Registration Act – was formed three years ago. Its memorandum of association was written and approved after a wide consultation with organic farmers.
