Enhancing the Nutritional Value of Food through Process of Natural Farming in India
Natural farming also referred to as organic farming, vital for health since it produces pesticide-free goods. The amount of vital micronutrients in naturally cultivated food has been found to be higher. The Bharatiya Prakritik Krishi Paddhati Program, found effective in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Kerala is an initiative of the Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana, supports natural farming in India. The purpose of this study is to identify the difficulties experienced by farmers as well as the requirements and limitations of natural farming in India. Natural farming depends on the potential of the soil under the present local climate conditions and employs the agro-eco system as a self-contained unit. Only 4.9, 2.0, and 1.6 percent of the net sown area in the top three states with the most organic farming, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra, are used for organic farming, respectively. In a few states such as; Meghalaya, Mizoram, Uttarakhand, Goa, and Sikkim, organic crops account for 10% or more of the net sown area. This study examines the health benefits of regularly ingesting foods that are naturally generated. Natural-grown plants are better for a therapeutic diet as well as contributing in economic development.
