- Himachal Pradesh Government has launched Zero Budget Natural Farming project to promote organic farming.
- As the name implies, Zero Budget Natural Farming is a method of farming where the cost of growing and harvesting plants is zero.
- The project aims to increase agriculture produce and the income of farmers by the year 2022.
- It is a farming practice that believes in natural growth of crops without adding any fertilizers and pesticides or any other foreign elements. It is different from organic farming.
- Farmers use earthworms, cow dung, urine, plants, human excreta and such biological fertilizers for crop protection.
- It reduces farmers’ investment. It also protects the soil from degradation and is climate change resilient.
