Natural farming is the need of the hour as the cost of production of foodgrain has increased due to the use of chemicals and fertilizers, NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said on Monday.
Addressing the ‘National Workshop on Innovative Agriculture’ organised by NITI Aayog, Mr. Kant further said India is now an exporter of wheat and rice.
“Natural farming is the need of the hour and it is important that we identify scientific ways through which we can ensure farmers can directly benefit from it, thereby increasing their income,” he said.
