Natural farming key to protect soil, water and health: Maharashtra Guv

Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari emphasized the critical importance of natural farming as a sustainable agricultural practice during a recent event. He highlighted that adopting natural farming methods can significantly contribute to the preservation of soil health, water resources, and overall public health. Koshyari pointed out that conventional farming practices often lead to soil degradation and water scarcity, which pose long-term threats to agricultural productivity and human health. He urged farmers to embrace techniques that enhance biodiversity, promote organic cultivation, and reduce chemical inputs. By shifting towards natural farming, the governor believes that Maharashtra can not only improve its agricultural output but also ensure food security and better health outcomes for its population. This initiative aligns with broader national goals of sustainable development and environmental conservation, addressing the urgent need for a shift in farming practices to combat the challenges of climate change and resource depletion.
