    Solution

    Zero budget natural farming (ZBNF) is a method of chemical-free agriculture drawing from traditional Indian practices it was popularized by Maharashtrian agriculturist and Padma Shri recipient Subhash Palekar in which he focused on the four pillars:

    • Jivamrita/jeevamrutha.

    • Bijamrita/beejamrutha.
