55 acre No Till farm using Vedic Farming Permaculture and Natural farming | @beyondorganicfarming

Wellnest natural Farms is situated at Vengalraju Kuppam, near Chittor, Andhra Pradesh. We started our farming activity in the year 2013-2014. We noticed that the Biodiversity that existed at the time, was on the verge of a collapse and something had to be done to save the trees to bring any sort of life back to the soil and the environment around. Slowly, but surely we looked at methods of Farming that would rejuvenate life around the land and focused our energies to improve the fertility of the soil and thereby improve the health of the trees around. Inspired by Masanobu Fukuokas Natural Farming Guidelines ,we decided to take up Natural Farming to produce naturally grown fruits and vegetables and protect our land from the rapid deterioration of our soil and the natural environment.
Modern Agricultural Farming v/s Natural Farming
In the recent years most farmers switched to Modern Agricultural farming from conventional farming to cater to the needs of the ever-growing population globally. Farmers were thus forced to develop easier methods, that would yield maximum produce in a smaller area, in the shortest time by using Machines, Chemical Fertilizers, Pesticides and Weedicides as part of the Modern Agricultural methods of Farming.
The food thus produced today, are heavily loaded with pesticides, hormones and other chemicals that are toxic to humans as well as nature. We now encounter the reduction of soil fertility, salinity and alkalinity across farm lands globally. The loss of Natural earthworms, changed the eco-balances of soil microbes drastically resulting in global warming, high cost of capital inputs for farming, ecological imbalances, excessive pollution levels, increased immunity of pests and insects, and the list goes on.
We thought there was an urgent need to change the way we look at agriculture. We adopted Natural Farming methods, also referred to as Vedic farming, a type of farming that used techniques ensuring good, sustainable yields over time in a specific area or region which was a prominent method of traditional Farming for centuries. Growing plants, cultivating crops and rearing animals happened close to human habitation and seeds were sown directly without ploughing. Rotten leaves, poultry and cattle manure, etc., were used to improve soil fertility and when the crop was ready for harvesting, a part of it was left for reproduction. Natural practices consequently, improved soil fertility, conserved water resources with minimal eco-friendly inputs which evolved over time. We educated ourselves on alternatives, and the need to find an approach to protect our farm land, led us to adopting Masanobu Fukuoka’s method of natural farming who said Natural Farming is the future, with the wisdom of the past. We were determined to produce “Chemical free” food for our own internal consumption and also make them available to the society at large.

Masanobu Fukuoka method?

Getting some numbers how productivity has improved would be great. ... at the end numbers count.
