Organic Farming: Become a Profitable Natural Farmer

About This Course

Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZNBF), also referred to as Organic Farming, is the practice of growing crops without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or other external inputs. The term 'Zero Budget' emphasizes the goal of achieving production at no cost for all crops. ZBNF promotes sustainable agricultural practices that preserve soil fertility, support chemical-free farming, and reduce production costs, ultimately improving farmers' incomes. This methodology, advocated by agricultural expert and Padma Shri awardee Subhash Palekar since the mid-1990s, provides an alternative to the chemical-intensive methods established during the Green Revolution. The government endorses organic farming through the Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY), which supports various chemical-free farming systems. Key principles of ZBNF include maintaining long-term soil fertility, minimizing pollution, fostering biological cycles, ensuring that livestock live naturally, and promoting beneficial agricultural practices. This course will provide essential knowledge on organic farming and its practical applications, showcasing its potential as a transformative approach in agriculture amidst the growing emphasis on health and sustainability.
