This study examines the challenges and opportunities of organic farming, and proposes the theoretical knowledge in the form of 'Sustainable Model of Organic Agriculture' in Nepal. The Third Party Certification system is understood as the dominant means of Organic Guarantee for export trade but Nepali farmers are left behind to sell their local products as organic due to the absence of any easy accessible, understandable and affordable method of certification. The inherent expense and paperwork required in a multilevel system discourages most small organic producers from being certified at all. This limits domestic trade of organic products. The study found that majority of organic producers were satisfied from their business but on the other hand they were facing various problems while going through the certification system.
