Venkatesan", abstract = "In India, the agriculture sector has been dominated for the past over 60 years by green revolution. Green revolution has influenced the economy by increasing agricultural production and productivity. Now a days using conventional techniques in agriculture is like cancer to our soil and health as well. It does not only make the soil barren but eventually, the farmer goes under debt. A revolutionary impact of green revolution or modern agricultural techniques that broke away the old and outdated traditional practices. Hence, the only way to deal with this ever rising problem is Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF). Zero budget natural farming, as the name implies, is a method of farming where the cost of growing and harvesting the plant is zero. This means that farmers need not to purchase fertilizers and pesticides in order to ensure healthy growth of the crops [1]. This concept was pulled into light by Shri Subhash Palekar. Natural farming minimizes the external inputs to farmland which degenerate the soil nature, increases microbial population better soil aeration, good water retention capacity and adaptability to climate change [2]. The inputs used for seed treatments and other inoculations are locally available in the form of cow dung and cow urine [3]. It is contemplated as a solution to end reliance on purchased inputs, improved family health {\&} nutrition, stable crop yield, consequently reduced indebtedness and suicides among Indian farmers. Thus, making natural farming is economically and ecologically sustainable.", issn = "23191473", journal = "IJAIR", keywords = "Zero Budget Natural Farming;Cow Dung;Sustainable Crop Production and Soil Health", month = "November", number = "3", pages = "123-132", title = "{A} {S}ustainable {R}evolution in {A}griculture: {A} {R}eview of {Z}ero {B}udget {N}atural {F}arming {F}or {E}nhancing {S}oil {F}ertility and {C}rop {P}roductivity", volume = "12", year = "2023", }
