As FM Nirmala Sitharaman heads to introduce first union budget of Modi 3.0, Finance Minister Sitharaman announced a nationwide initiative to promote natural farming in India. The plan aims to engage 1 crore (10 million) farmers in natural farming practices over the next two years. The government will provide support for branding naturally farmed products. This ambitious project signifies a major shift towards sustainable agriculture, potentially transforming farming practices across the country. The initiative could impact both agricultural methods and market dynamics for farm produce in India.
