suggestions: Study may be very much usefull for the rainfed tropics of the world cover about 60% area of total agriculture.Study also shows the  efficient use  of local resources for making system soically and environmentally sound.
abstract: A study was conduted during 2008-2011 at the certified organic farm of Central Arid Zone Research Institute,Jodhpur,India to study the feasibility and economic viability of organic system in the  low rainfall areas.Due to low use of fertilisers and pesticides in low raifnall areas and prevelent agroforestry system, organic farming system has been found most suitable for sustaining the production uder climatic variations and by growing high value crops retun of these systems also enhanced.Besides, improvement in soil health and agrodiversity was also observed.
