Organic Farming : Become a profitable Natural Farmer

About This Course

Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZNBF), commonly known as Organic Farming, focuses on cultivating crops without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or any external inputs. The term 'Zero Budget' reflects the goal of eliminating production costs associated with crop cultivation. ZBNF promotes sustainable agricultural practices that maintain soil fertility, facilitate chemical-free farming, and reduce production costs, thereby increasing farmers' income. This method has been championed by esteemed agriculturist and Padma Shri awardee Subhash Palekar since the mid-1990s, offering a natural alternative to the chemical-intensive methods of the Green Revolution. The government supports organic farming initiatives, such as the Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY), which encourages all forms of chemical-free agriculture, including ZBNF. This course will equip you with essential knowledge of organic farming and practical steps for implementation in your fields, emphasizing its transformative potential as health and sustainability become increasingly important in agriculture.
