The Telangana government is launching steps to revive natural farming after a recent decline.
The state of Telangana has acknowledged a slowdown in the adoption of natural farming methods and is now focusing on reversing that trend. Natural farming, which emphasizes minimal external inputs and ecological balance, was promoted in the state as a sustainable alternative to conventional agriculture.
State officials have announced a series of measures aimed at encouraging farmers to return to these practices. The initiatives include technical workshops, seed distribution of indigenous varieties, and financial incentives for farms that meet natural farming criteria.
Authorities expect that revitalising natural farming will improve soil health, reduce input costs for cultivators, and contribute to the state's broader environmental goals. The rollout is being monitored closely to gauge farmer response and measurable outcomes in the coming months.
