Impactful Program
• Financial liberation
• Social bonding
• Morality building
• Empowerment
Wherever material change shape from one form to another, a Process is involved;
better the process, higher quality output and lower the in process losses

Strength of a process

 Objectives
• Production of exportable surplus from agriculture sector
to finance:
• Basic provisions to each household
• National balance of trade
• Provision and ensuring of basic amenities:
• Skills to earn decent living
• Housing
• Healthcare
• Entertainment
• Amicable Conflit résolution
Production of food, feed and fiber from
within the functioning ecosystems
Open Field - Natural Farming

Naturally grown food products

Next level in food quality,

far beyond Organic products

Natural Farming (NF) to produce Natural Products (NP) means
no use of purchased inputs and only two pass operation:

1. No-Till planting

2. Harvesting

 Disasters interrelate
• Degeneration of soil & ocean - is mother of all ills
• Water scarcity
• Climate change
• Food sovereignty
• Nutritional values of farm produce
• Financial libration - Household and National
• Political stability
All of these are inter-connected, inter-dependent

To understand it, look back at nature - how balances were maintained

 Factors for climate change
1. Excessive CO2 in atmosphere - 280 > 406 PPM
2. Global warming - retention of 3W/Sqm
3. Methane gas (CH4) - 700 > 2300 PPB
4. Oceans absorbed some 30,000 BT of CO2

Tree plantation alone can do nothing unless CO2 is

bio-digested to retain it in soil as SSC (Stable Soil
Carbon) by the change in crop production process
 Natural
Vegetation
Industrial agriculture went against nature and lead us to disasters

1. No inundation
2. No plowing
3. Soil cover
4. Bio-Diversity
No nutritional deficiency or
pest/disease damage in 100’s of
million years is found! Natural
ecosystem is self-sustaining. 7
 Go back to basics - Mimic the natural process
Up land for vegetation Create Up & Low
Low land for aquatic life Land in fields

Mimicking the natural landscape by making raised-beds for crop

production, save soil & plants from inundation, no-till, organic soil
cover, control traffic and dependance on biota for plant nutrition 8

10 BT extra

balance.
Even 50 BT
DD will
require
Drawdown CO2 1,000’s of
years to get
back to 1958
Emitting CO2 120 Billion Ton level.
10 Billion Ton CO2 Deficit year on year

130 Billion Ton

280 PPM 1958 2018

Out of 8 B Ha of forest, 5.3 B Ha cleared
after replanting, we now have 3.5 B HA 14
 Oceans act as buffer

CO2 deficit is 10 BT/PY: However, if we increase

additional drawdown to 50 BT/PY even that is
CO2

not sufficient due to oceans buffer equilibrium

CO2
system. Oceans start releasing CO2 to decrease
its own levels.

30,000 billions tones of CO2 is absorbed by the oceans since 1958

this is why they are getting acidic and ocean life is greatly effected
15
 2 things can happen to the
Agriculture: carbon DD by photosynthesis Back
Aim is for higher yield Release back or Stable in soil to CO2
Sun, CO2, water, MOA - More on Ag (inputs)
photosynthesis - Clear vegetation
- Burn
More on Ag consume - Cultivate
40 to 60% of the value - Fertilize
- Irrigate
of Ag production.
- Fallow - naked soil
- Biocides

Stable Soil Carbon

feed plants naturally. Bio-digest carbon CO2 to
Purchased inputs Stable Soil Carbon - SSC
are not necessary to
upscale yields. 1 gm of SSC hold 8 gm of water
Fungi/Biota converts
16
it in to SS Carbon
If we replace tree plants with crop plant
there shouldn’t be any difference in CO2
drawdown.

Then why did CO2 level in atmosphere

increased from 280 PPM to 406 PPM
during past 60 years?

The only difference is crop production

process.

17
If we replace tree plants with crop plants, CO2 absorption
(drawdown) will be grater, because of higher leaf surface
area. We need to retain CO2 in soil as Stable Soil Carbon
(SSC) by practicing natural process of vegitation - PA
Way forward … integration of all stake holders

1. Develop process showcases &

training farms
2. Select eager to work as
Service Providers (SP)
3. Facilitate SP’s with machinery
and inputs, who initially farm
for farmers for their action
learning & move-on
4. Arrangements with whole-
sellers/exporters/processors
to hedge the produce
