This book provides a scientific
and systematic exposition of natural farming, grounded in the Indian heritage
of ancient agricultural practices and extending to contemporary ecological
frameworks. It elucidates the historical evolution, fundamental principles,
objectives, and scope of natural farming, highlighting its relevance in
mitigating climate change, enhancing soil health, optimizing water use,
promoting carbon sequestration, conserving biodiversity, and ensuring food and
nutritional security in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). The text critically examines various schools and methodologies of
natural farming, the design and functional characteristics of natural farms,
and the integration of crops, trees, and livestock for ecological balance. Core
topics include nutrient cycling, pest and disease management, ecological
engineering, footprint assessments (ecological, water, carbon, nitrogen), and
ecosystem service evaluation. Additionally, the book addresses certification
standards, value addition, market potential, and policy interventions, supple-
mented with case studies and models of successful implementation. It is
intended for researchers, students, extension professionals, and policy
planners engaged in sustainable agriculture.
