    Recently, the Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister of India approved the launching of the National Mission on Natural Farming (NMNF) Scheme.

    • It is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme under the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare.

    • It has been launched to promote natural farming in mission mode across the country as a standalone scheme.

    • It aims at promoting NF practices for providing safe & nutritious food for all.

    • The Mission is designed to support farmers to reduce input cost of cultivation and dependency to externally purchased inputs.

    • Features

    • In the next two years, NMNF will be implemented in 15,000 clusters in Gram Panchayats, which are willing, & reach 1 crore farmers and initiate Natural Farming (NF) in 7.5 lakh Ha area.

    • Preference will be given to areas having prevalence of practising NF farmers, SRLM / PACS / FPOs, etc.

    • Further, need-based 10,000 Bio-input Resource Centres (BRCs) will be set-up to provide easy availability and accessibility to ready-to-use NF inputs for farmers.

    • Under NMNF, around 2000 NF Model Demonstration Farms shall be established at Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs), Agricultural Universities (AUs) and farmers’ fields, and shall be supported by experienced and trained Farmer Master Trainers.

    • The willing farmers will be trained in Model Demonstration Farms on the NF package of practices, preparation of NF inputs, etc. near their villages in KVKs, Agricultural Universities and practising NF farmers’ fields. 18.75 lakh trained willing farmers will prepare inputs like Jeevamrit, Beejamrit, etc. by using their livestock or procure from BRCs. 30,000 Krishi Sakhis/ CRPs will be deployed for awareness generation, mobilisation and handholding of willing farmers in the clusters.

    • Farmers will be provided with an easy simple certification system and dedicated common branding to provide access to market their natural farming produce. Real time geo-tagged & referenced monitoring of NMNF implementation shall be done through an online portal.
