NEW REVOLUTION IN FARMING WITH OLD IDEAS...

      Zero Budget Natural Farming.. 

                                                        In this system of farming no monetary investment on the part of farmer is required for purchase of seeds, fertilizers and plant protection chemicals from the market. The farmer can produce his own seed or he may use seeds that are available with other farmers. More importantly, there is absolutely no place for fertilizers and plant protection chemicals in this scheme of farming. Dependence on hired labour is also reduced to the bare minimum as the system discourages intercultural operations. The whole philosophy behind this system is to make the farmer self-reliant so that he is freed from the clutches of money lenders and market dispensed high cost inputs. And they also believe that, to available the poison less food to the human being, only way is Zero Budget of Natural Farming. More than 30 Lacs farmers throughout India are practicing Zero Budget Natural Farming in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Kerala, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Gujarat etc.
