Natural Farming Revolution: A Healthier Harvest for India

Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced the formation of a national committee to promote natural farming. This initiative aims to increase farmer income and maintain soil fertility. By transitioning to natural farming, produce will be free of harmful chemicals, and environmental preservation will be ensured for future generations.

The Union Agriculture Minister, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, declared on Saturday that a national-level committee is set to be established to advocate for natural farming across India.

Chouhan emphasized the role of this committee in educating farmers about the benefits of adopting natural farming methods, enhancing their income while preserving soil health. He underscored that natural farming practices ensure access to chemical-free vegetables, grains, and fruits.

Commending Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat for his contributions, Chouhan inspected natural farming practices in Kurukshetra and explored the Gurukul's facilities. He highlighted the significant losses caused by chemical farming, urging a transition to natural methods. The minister applauded the Prime Minister's leadership in advancing this mission, encouraging farmers to initiate natural farming gradually, backed by proper training.
