The earth is ailing- almost beyond repair. Since soil is the basis for all human life. Our only hope for a healthy world rests on re-establishing the harmony in the soil we have disrupted by our modern method of agronomy. All of life will be either healthy or unhealthy, according to the fertility of the soil, Directly, or indirectly, all foods comes from soil.
Today soils are tried, overworked, depleted, sick, poisoned by synthetic chemicals. Hence the quality of food has suffered, and so has health."

In fact livestock rearing in our country is quite different for subsistence farmers, where risk management is more important than the developed market driven systems. Apart from unfriendly climate, we have problem of large human & animal population, pressure on land, scarcity of pasture land, shortage of feed & fodder, resulting in comparatively low productivity & consequently the low economic returns.
