NATURAL FARMING FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT<\/p>\n
What is natural farming-
\n \u201cIt is agricultural production system which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetically compounded fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators and livestock feed additives. To the maximum extent feasible organic farming system rely upon crop rotation, crop residues, and animal manure, legumes, green manure, mineral-bearing rocks and aspects of biological pest control to maintain soil productivity and tilth to supply plant nutrients and to control insects, weeds and other pests\u201d. <\/p>\n
Aims of natural farming-
\n1.\tTo cultivate a grain with a high nutritional value.
\n2.\t To protect and enhance farm land’s long-term productivity and sustainability.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tAnanth Agri services are aimed to improve agricultural productivity by promoting natural farming in farmers community through services like sell, buy, return, on rent of farming machines, organic fertilizers, pesticides, Agri education, etc to improve farmers income by natural farming and stability of environment by on farm resources.
\nOrganic farming has the following characteristics:
\n1. Long-term soil fertility is protected by preserving organic matter levels, promoting soil biological activity, and careful and deliberate mechanical action.
\n2. Providing crop nutrients indirectly through the activity of soil microorganisms, which make relatively insoluble nutrient sources available to the plant.
\n3. Usage of legumes and biological nitrogen fixation, as well as efficient disposal of organic materials such as crop residues and livestock manures, to achieve nitrogen self-sufficiency.
\n4. Crop rotations, natural predators, variety, organic manuring, resistant varieties, and restricted (preferably minimal) thermal, biological, and chemical action are used to combat weeds, diseases, and pests.
\n5. Comprehensive livestock care, taking into account genetic adaptations, behavioural demands, and animal welfare considerations in terms of diet, shelter, hygiene, breeding, and rearing.
\n6. The effect of the agricultural method on the broader ecosystem, as well as the protection of biodiversity and natural ecosystems, must be carefully considered.<\/p>\n
Natural farming is mostly focused on:
\n1.\tCrop rotations
\n2.\tUse of crop residues
\n3.\tAnimal manures
\n4.\tLegumes
\n5.\tGreen manures
\n6.\tOff farm organic wastes
\n7.\tBio fertilizers
\n8.\tMechanical Cultivation
\n9.\tMineral bearing rocks
\n10.Control of insect, weeds and other pests.<\/p>\n
Advantages of natural farming:
\n\u2022\tIt contributes to environmental sustainability by lowering emissions levels.
\n\u2022\tBy lowering the amount of residues in the food, it decreases the risk of human and
\n animal illness.
\n\u2022\tIt contributes to the long-term viability of agricultural production.
\n\u2022\tIt lowers agricultural production costs while also improving soil quality.
\n\u2022\tIt allows the most efficient use of natural resources for immediate gain while also
\n assisting in their conservation for future generations.
\n\u2022\tIt not only saves both animal and machine resources, but it also lowers the probability
\n of crop failure.
\n\u2022\tIt increases the physical properties of the soil, such as granulation, tilth, aeration, and
\n root penetration, as well as increasing the water-holding potential and reducing
\n erosion.
\n\u2022\tIt increases the chemical properties of the soil, such as nutrient availability and
\n accumulation, nutrient leakage into water sources and the atmosphere, and favourable
\n chemical reactions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
