Zero Budget Natural Farming

The Zero Budget Natural Farming is said to be an ecological farming approach that imitates nature. It is a self-sustainable, with minimal human intervention for plant nutrition and plant protection. It is recognizes the soil as a fundamental natural asset and relies on elements found in nature whereby all the nutrients needed for plant growth are supplied naturally. No chemical inputs are used. It reintroduces beneficial micro-organisms in our soil which are vital to restore the soil health. The availability of nutrients to plant is hence improved and this increases crop yield and quality. The bio-sphere of the root system of the crop is also improved leading to reduction in root stress. The concept of Zero Budget Natural Farming has been designed by Dr.Subhash Palekar, a Naturalist from India. The natural preparation is of cow dung and cow urine of local cow breed, unrefined raw sugar and gram flour. The concept also includes preparation of natural pesticides from cow urine and other selected plant materials. The Food and Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (FAREI) has been conducting a series of research and vulgarization among the planting community on the benefits and mode of preparation of the natural products.
