The growing human population presents a global challenge in providing adequate food, shelter and a healthy lifestyle. Sustainable food production and environmental stewardship are essential for addressing food security and environmental preservation. Organic farming is gaining popularity due to its perceived safety, health and ecological benefits. However, there are differing viewpoints on its role in sustainability. Despite advances in agricultural productivity and the use of GMOs, hunger persists in the poorest countries. This review aims to answer whether organic farming is the future of sustainable agriculture to address the world's growing food needs. The Green Revolution has led to increased agricultural output and income, but it has also led to lower-quality food and environmental degradation due to chemical use. Health concerns, such as hormone imbalances and cancers, have been raised due to these practices. Organic farming, which avoids artificial inputs and uses biological control methods, has gained momentum in developed nations. It promotes ecological restoration, plant, animal and soil health and improves biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture should support both the economy and the environment.
