In today’s world of climate challenges and soil degradation, more farmers are seeking alternatives that protect both the planet and their profits. This is why natural farming is the future of sustainable agriculture. Unlike chemical-intensive practices, natural farming relies on local resources, biodiversity, and eco-friendly techniques to restore soil health while ensuring long-term productivity.
What Makes Natural Farming Different
At its core, natural farming eschews the use of synthetic fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, it emphasises soil fertility through compost, biofertilizers, mulching, and intercropping. For example, in Andhra Pradesh, the government-supported Natural Farming program has helped over half a million farmers reduce input costs while improving yields.
