Natural Farming
With a view to uplift rural India, the concepts of natural farming is gaining ground
in our country. Natural farming includes the use of available natural farm resources/products
in agriculture and mushrooming biodiversity. Many organizations are trying hard
to convince farmers to adopt natural farming for long term sustainability and fertility
preservation. Farmers are becoming aware of the negative effects of current farm
practices and excessive use of chemicals fertilizer and pesticides. Natural farming
eliminates energy/ production costs, fertilizer and other input costs, improves
underground water level without any contamination, helps in conserving moisture
and prevent crop from effect of climate change. Above all, it reduces global warming
by reducing the greenhouse gases considerably and helps in sustainable development.
It cannot be an exaggeration, if we say that cattle based natural farming has the
answer for the problem of farmer suicides, mitigation of economic recession, empowerment
of the farmer and improvement of the rural economy.
