Zero budget natural farming is a method of  chemical-free agriculture  drawing from traditional Indian practices. BNF is based on 4 pillars: ·         Jeevamrutha:  It is a mixture of fresh cow dung and aged cow urine (both from India's indigenous cow breed), jaggery, pulse flour, water and soil; to be applied on farmland. ·         Bijamrita:  It is a concoction of neem leaves & pulp, tobacco and green chilies prepared for insect and pest management, that can be used to treat seeds. ·         Acchadana (Mulching) : It protects topsoil during cultivation and does not destroy it by tilling. ·         Whapasa : It is the condition where there are both air molecules and water molecules present in the soil. Thereby helping in reducing irrigation requirement .
