There is an increasing support and demand for organic food produce in the Philippines. Rising health and environmental concerns are changing our agricultural landscape, and this change is being felt especially by rice farmers as organic rice is becoming popular in the market.

Organic agriculture is a farming practice that uses less to zero synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and is usually aimed at biodiversity protection and improved health of farmers and consumers. In the 2016 data of the National Organic Agriculture Program, at least 5% of the country's total agricultural land is being utilized in organic farming.
