Abstract
This study titled “A Study on Awareness of Organic Farming among College Students” examines the level of awareness, knowledge, and perception of college students toward organic farming. Organic farming has gained increasing importance due to growing concerns about health, food safety, and environmental sustainability. The study aims to analyze students’ awareness of the benefits of organic farming and the factors influencing their preference for organic products. Primary data were collected from 93 respondents through a structured questionnaire. The research adopted a descriptive research design and used percentage analysis and Chi-square test for data analysis. The findings reveal that the majority of students are aware of organic farming and believe it is beneficial for human health. Most respondents obtained information through schools/colleges and social media. However, the level of detailed knowledge about organic farming practices among students is mostly average. The study concludes that while awareness is relatively high, further educational programs and awareness campaigns are necessary to improve students’ understanding and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
Keywords: Organic Farming, Awareness, College Students.
