Kheti Virasat Mission proudly announces series of natural farming focused on vegetable crops to be addressed by Eminent Natural Farming Master farmer Shri Subhash Sharma (Yavatmal , Maharashtra) .

Shri Subhash Sharma one of India’s best known organic farmers, commenced the first session with a review of his own farming practices over three decades. Speaking only in Hindi, he recalled how as a farmer he had been inducted into the methods of a purely “destructive science”. “In the process of farming with chemicals,” he confessed, “I destroyed almost the entire micro-organism population in the soil, trees, birds, seeds, water, soil and personal energy and that is what caused the reduction in the yields.”

In 1994, he turned 100% to natural farming. He uncovered traditional techniques like infusing the soil with liquid cowdung manures; he planted trees to host birds and regulate climate; he redesigned land use following a detailed study of the farm’s contours which enabled him to catch and husband every single drop of water that fell on his land. Today his organic farm is a “mecca” for farmers and scientists alike.

Subhash Sharma will address the farmers in eight different workshops during his Punjab visit. Here is the schedule of workshops:
