Zero budget farming is a set of farming methods that involve zero credit for agriculture and no use of chemical fertilisers. This is technically known as Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF), as the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations calls it. This is also an attempt to make small scale farming a viable vocation. Zero budget farming model promises to cut down farming expenditure drastically and ends dependence on loans. It also reduces dependence on purchased inputs as it encourages use of own seeds and locally available natural fertilizers. Farming is done in sync with nature not through chemical fertilisers.
