4. खेती पंचमहाभूतों की उपासनाहै |
उपासना से उत्पन्न होती फसल प्रसाद बन जाती है, और प्रसाद बााँटा जाता है, बेचा नही |जब ककसान
उपासक बन जाएगा, फसल प्रसाद बन जाएगी| उपभोगता भक्त बन जाएगा, कफर ककसान का घर
मिर्ण मंददर बन जाएगा और नाआपघात होगा ना ग़रीबी और हमारा ये कृ षी प्रधान देश कफर सोने की
चचड़िया बन जाएगा |
Farming is worship of Five elements (Earth, Ether, Air, Water & Fire).
The crop produced by worship becomes a prasad (offering), and prasad is distributed, not
sold. When the farmer becomes a worshiper, the crop will become a prasad. Consumers
will become devotees, then the house of the farmer will become a golden temple and their
will neither be any accident nor the poverty and our India will become again a golden bird.

5. INDIAN AGRICULTURE SCENARIO
A destruction model- ‘Mostly Out of Focus’
The Farmer is the only man in our economy:-
Who buys everything at Retail…
Sells everything at Wholesale…
And pays the freight Both ways…

6. Changing dynamics of IndianAgriculture
Agriculture is the largest unorganised sector in India, with 57 per cent of India's total population and 73 per cent of
India's total employment.
There are around 55 crore farmers in India (NSSO-2009).
Hardly 5-10% farmers are Progressive, Educated, Self-Moving and
innovative. (But sadly, most of them are only just ‘Political Farmer’too).
>40% Rural Youth is out of Farming. Who is going to do thisjob???
Real bottleneck is rest of 90-95%....!!!
Farmers don’t have any vibrant model to organize themselves and link with the market.

8. Sustainable Way Of Farming
Permanent, Long-lasting Farming

9. Sustainable Farming
• To Resolve the Crisis in the Climate, Health / Nutrition & Food Security
• Synergize and create Harmony in Relationship between Man & Nature And Nurture harmonious relationship
with Sunlight, Microbes, Soil, other Ecosystem Services like Insects Pollinating etc.
• Restore and rejuvenate the soil nutrition which indirectly support ecosystem.
• Multi crop and bio diversity is the fundamental for Sustainable farming.
• Its totally self dependent. From seeds to marketing and even selling is self dependent.
• Long lasting, Permanent and sustainable practices requires very less labors.
• Bio diversity cycle makes one waste into others food and require nothing from outside which makes our farm
into self dependent and generates constant income.

10. Types of Sustainable Farming
NatuEco farming is combination of all these farming methods and they are
interlinked to each other and their sole goal to maintain harmonious ecological
cycle without using any destructive/harmful/synthetic chemical.
1. Permaculture :-A design science created, maintained in Harmony with Nature.
2. Organic Farming:- non-synthetic way of sustainable farming.
3. Biodynamics :- Its is a holistic, ecological, and ethical approach to farming,
gardening, food, and nutrition
4. Agro-ecological System:- Using ecological principle in farming.
5. Low-input Farming :- Referred to purchasing few off-farm inputs (usually
fertilizers and pesticides), while increasing on-farm inputs (i.e. manures, cover
crops, and especially management).

11. PERMACULTURE
Permanent agriculture / permanent culture
• Permaculture: The conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive
ecosystems to create the diversity, stability and resilience of natural ecosystems.
Permaculture seeks the harmonious integration of landscape and people
providing their food, energy, shelter and other material and nonmaterial needs in
a sustainable way.
• Bill Mollison and David Holmgren launched permaculture around 1974
Reaction to conventional agriculture:- which brought many problems in Australia;
droughts, eutrofication, wind erosion and loss of fertile topsoil
• By observing the woods in Tasmania, ecological principals were uncovered that
formed the basics for permaculture
• Build ecosystems that integrate humans into their surroundings again.

12. Permaculture Design = Regenerative Design
Ethics of Permaculture
•Earth Care :- The Earth is a living, breathing entity. Without ongoing care and
nurturing there will be consequences too big to ignore.
•People Care:- If people’s needs are met in compassionate and simple ways, the
environment surrounding them will prosper
•Resource Share :- The output of a system in permaculture should be consumed
and shared with people/community in a fair way
Developed in 1980’s, over 1,000,000 people certified,
active in 140+ Countries, more than 4,000 projects on
the ground

23. Goal of Natueco Science
‘No Wasteland and Waste-mind anywhere on this Earth’
Through Resource Literacy Mission
Networking of Local Neighborhood Resources with best
of latest scientific knowledge, demystified and in local
idioms, as open source.
Move towards truly a Natural Resource Conscious
demonetised society, using “Energy Exchange Metric”
Raise the knowledge level and esteem of farmers,
higher than other respected professions.
To empower farmers to produce & provide nutritionally
holistic balanced diet at appropriate value to the society.
Natueco Farming & P. P. Knowledge Networks make this
possible through peer venture networks.
Provides nutritional, sustenance security while offering
entrepreneurship for sustainable growth.

24. Demystification of Science - Plant Physiology
• New insights in plant physiology
will increase every successive
produce and obtain higher yields
than previous harvest
• By proper pruning you can manage
higher yield
• Keeping proper distance you can
reduce quantity of seeds and get higher
yield
• 2 Kg seeds will give 30 quintal yield of
wheat
• Just 30 Kg seeds @ distance 9' X 6' will
get 100 tons Sugarcane with 17% of
Sugar

25. Natueco’s Chemistry with Plants
• By knowing plant
chemistry farmers will
shift to Agro-Ecological
farming
• Multi-tier farming as farming
will become net working
of Sunlight instead of farming
from the land.
• Will increase nutritional value
of the produce leading
to food security as less
quantity will be needed to
feed the world.

26. Precision of Natueco Science
• Methods to develop keen observation, critical experiments to
achieve Assured, Calculated and Record yields and productivity
in all types of crops.
• When shifting from chemical to Natueco farming, the very first
produce is chemical free with higher production!
• Increased nutritional levels in food

27. • To Increase the density
• To increase canopy
• To increase diameter
• To increase weight
• To increase the
production

28. AMRUT MITTI :
THE LIVING SOIL

29. Four Agriculturally beneficial micro-organisms :
1. Nitrogen fixing bacteria
2. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria
3. Disease-producing-fungus destroying bacteria
4. Agri-waste decomposing bacteria
WHAT IS AMRUT MITTI?
Amrut Mitti is a soil prepared from biomass, Amrut Jal and earth (soil). It is a soil that
contains all the essential
elements that are needed by a plant for its growth and development.
It consists of 50 % of biomass and 50 % of activated mineral top soil.
Timeline: It takes about 110-150 days to prepare Amrut Mitti
Area required: 12 ft X 5 ft

30. Amrut Mitti - heaps
in the Farm

31. AMRIT MITTI helps to maintain Plant Biology-
Harmonic Co-existence
• Amrut Mitti takes care of microbes and develop Humus in the soil leading to increased water
holding capacity.
• Leading to disease less crops and more nutrition.
• Surplus water will be available for drinking or more land can be cultivated.
• Will increase the vital energy in the plant, producing vital food for Human beings and no
diseases to any one.
• With more nutritional value in the food, the consumption will reduce, thereby solving the
problem of food scarcity.
• Farming is a Conscious Science Leading Humanity In the direction of inclusive Spiritual
values.

32. AMRUT JAL
A solution of Water, Jaggery, cow dung and cow urine
contains crores of diverse hermetic microorganisms.
The chemical elements present in Amrut Jal make
the soil fertile and help the micro-organisms to
increase the chemical and physical properties of the
soil.

45. • The Industrial Agriculture model, based on consumerism, where growth
is GDP statistics, is not making farmers healthy, wealthy or happy.
• Time to consider alternative growth criteria like GNH ?
Gross National Happiness ? (like Bhutan)
• Natueco alternative fulfils GNH, where farming is a way
of life.
A life of happiness based on 5 L’s.
Living, Livelihood, Learning, Laughter & Love
at same place, same time, for ever for every one.

convert into fertile living soil in 150 days and return the enhanced land to farmers or forests ushering
Evergreen revolution.

60. Government Support to Farmers through Infra
& Finance
1. Create incentives to become resource literate empowered farmers who can harness directly free
resources available from nature namely sun, water, air, to create abundance with knowledge inputs.
2. Knowledge can set free and empower them to move from subsidies to be autonomous farmers
3. Healthy, wealthy, and happy farmers and Wise villages
•Provide pond, fencing, trenches and contouring of the land for farmer to enable him to focus on soil
enrichment instead of worrying about the financial burden of building such structures in lieu of waiving off
loans every year.
•Buy failure crops and make Amrit Mitti out of the bio mass of such failure crops and provide the same to
the farmer
