👀 Why This Matters
You go to the market. You see two words on the label —
“Organic” and “Natural” — and assume both are safe, chemical-free, and honest.
But here’s the truth:
They are not the same.
At AgriculNature, we get asked this question all the time.
So let’s clear the confusion — with simplicity and truth.
🥬 Organic Farming: Better, But Not Always Natural
Organic farming in India is regulated by:
- NPOP (National Programme for Organic Production)
- PGS (Participatory Guarantee System)
These systems ensure that inputs like fertilizers and pesticides are organic, i.e., not synthetic.
But here’s the catch:
🔸 Most organic farms buy these inputs from the market
🔸 Many use organic-certified pest control sprays that can still damage biodiversity
🔸 Water usage, monocropping, and packaging are not always sustainable
🔸 Large-scale organic farms are often profit-driven, not soil-driven
So yes — organic is better than chemical farming.
But it’s not always what you think it is.
🌱 Natural Farming (What We Follow)
We follow Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) —
A system based on Indian farming wisdom, created by Subhash Palekar ji, where:
✅ No chemical or external input is used
✅ All nutrients are made on-farm — from desi cow dung, urine, jaggery, gram flour, water
✅ Soil is never tilled hard — we allow microbial life to thrive
✅ Seeds are treated with bijamrut, not chemicals
✅ It’s truly budget-free, chemical-free, marketing-free
We don’t buy “organic compost” in packets.
We nurture our soil like family.

🤔 So Which is Better?
We’re not here to shame organic farmers.
But we do believe that natural farming is deeper, cleaner, and more honest — especially when rooted in Indian soil, not western labels.
At AgriculNature, we don’t ask you to trust a sticker.
We invite you to walk the fields, meet the cows, see the soil, and then decide.
