Description In recent decades, the indiscriminate use of natural resources in Indian agriculture has resulted in environmental, social, and economic challenges for the planet Earth. Natural farming has emerged as a beacon of hope in modern agriculture, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional farming practices. In recent years, the importance of natural farming has garnered widespread attention due to its potential to address pressing challenges. At its core, natural farming emphasizes working in tandem with nature's rhythms rather than against them. By harnessing the inherent resilience and complexity of natural ecosystems, this approach seeks to nurture healthy soils, enhance biodiversity, and promote the well-being of farmers and communities. Recognizing the significanceof natural farming, ICAR initiated a nationwide project titled ‘Out-scaling of Natural Farming through KVKs, in 2022. In ATARI Zone-IX, the project is being implemented across 48 KVKs in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh to promote and expand the adoption of natural farming practices via Krishi Vigyan Kendras. Within this initiative, the crucial components focused are promoting natural farming practices, capacity building for farmers, demonstrations and trials, scaling up, and knowledge sharing and documentation of natural farming practices.
