The world over, human health is at risk. While on one hand people are dying due to scarcity of food, on the other they are slowly being poisoned by the chemicals used for growing food. Organic farming is therefore the need of the hour. Women in India are as much farmers as men are; and being equal contributors in food production, need to be educated about organic farming concepts. The present study was conducted on 150 farm women of five villages of Dharwad taluk of Karnataka. Lectures, exhibitions and demonstrations were conducted to train women on organic farming concepts and the use of farm and animal wastes. The findings revealed that women’s knowledge before intervention was low. The‘t’ test applied to knowledge scores before and after the exhibitions, lectures and demonstrations showed significant results indicating that the training programmes were effective in educating rural women on organic farming. It is assumed that the knowledge gained will be helpful in practicing organic farming using agriculture and animal wastes available on their own farm. Women may also play a significant role in influencing men in adopting organic farming.
