ORGANIC farming tops the list for jobs growth over the next five years, beating banking, mining and accounting, a new study predicts.

The IbisWorld Top 10 jobs report released this week said job growth in organic farming would rise by 6.2 per cent in 2012-13 and 11.2 per cent in 2013-14.

An increased focus on healthy eating and the environment would drive the demand for organic food, with revenue growing by 13.4 per cent each year to reach $760 million in 2014.

Jobs for farmers, farm hands, skilled and unskilled labourers, and pickers along with ecologists, biodynamic farming specialists and researchers, would lift as a result, IbisWorld Australia general manager Robert Bryant said.

"Not only does organic farming offer higher returns for farmers, but recent studies suggest it is more resilient and adaptable to changing conditions wrought by climate change - encouraging some farmers to switch from conventional to organic farming," he said.

Biological Farmers of Australia director Andrew Monk said more growers and support from the major supermarkets was driving industry growth.

"The snowball effect is now upon us with more supply finally coming on stream and the ability to offer and sell to a growing number of consumers."
