Article Synopsis
- Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) in Andhra Pradesh aims to enhance food security and environmental sustainability, but lacks robust statistical data comparing its yields to organic and conventional farming.*
-
- Field experiments across 28 farms revealed that ZBNF yielded significantly more than both organic and conventional methods, particularly due to benefits from mulching that improved soil moisture and earthworm populations.*
-
- While ZBNF shows promise, its effectiveness varies by district and crop type, and there were negligible differences in nutrient content compared to conventional farming, highlighting the potential risks of synthetic farming practices.*
