For instance, chemical farming is not much practised in dryland areas, the official said.<\/p>\n<p>It may be noted that the government in the Union Budget 2022 has announced the promotion of chemical-free natural farming throughout the country, starting with fields within a 5-km corridor along the Ganga river.<\/p>\n<p>According to government think-tank Niti Aayog, natural farming is a chemical-free alias traditional farming methods. It is considered an agroecology based diversified farming system, which integrates crops, trees and livestock with functional biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p>In India, natural farming is promoted as Bharatiya Prakritik Krishi Paddhati Programme (BPKP) under the centrally sponsored scheme Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY).<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-10\" id=\"trade-2889047207\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- in_content_3_news -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2969612066\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>Niti Aayog along with the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers welfare had convened several high-level discussions with global experts on natural farming practices.<\/p>\n<p>It is roughly estimated that around 2.5 million farmers in India are already practising regenerative agriculture.
