what is zero budget natural farming? ridhiorganic.com

Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF), which is a set of farming methods, and also a grassroots peasant movement, has spread to various states in India. It has attained wide success in southern India, especially the southern Indian state of Karnataka where it first evolved. A rough estimation for just Karnataka puts the figure there at around 100,000 farmer families, while at the national level, ZBNF leaders claim that numbers could run into millions.
Why we chose ZBNF
According to a survey carried out by LVC, 100% of ZNBF farmers owned land, and a majority had access to some form of irrigation, and owned at least one cow. Most practicing ZBNF farmers are informally connected to each other and carry out both organized and spontaneous farmer-to-farmer exchange activities. Leaders tend to emerge naturally from the grassroots, and all activities are carried out on a voluntary basis.
