Is there a sustainable way of feeding our population without harming and degrading the soil? In one of his interviews, Maharashtrian agriculturist and Padma Shri recipient Subhash Palekar, also called as “Krishi ka Rishi” says, that by utilizing whatever is readily available in the nature one can grow a healthy and nutritious crop.

He popularized it as Zero-budget natural farming (ZBNF). It is a way of practicing agriculture in harmony with nature.

As a result, ZBNF requires fewer investments, frees farmers from debt, improves soil quality and help in producing heathy crops ! Do you do this form of farming or know somebody who does it? Share your stories with us on our social media pages!
