How often do you come across farmers who are still holding on to the traditional farming techniques including employing cow in their farms? Not so often do we see this happening as farmers are now being exposed to revolutionary farming methods that modern-day scientists claim to better the yield by investing less time and effort. There’s no denying that the technology has paved the way for various advancements in the agriculture sector, but the aim to achieve sustainable agriculture can possibly be completed if we hold on to some traditional practices like employing cows in the farm.
In the technologically advanced world, cow based sustainable agriculture seems like a myth to many modern-age farmers. Hence, to bust the myth, Krishi Jagran, with its campaign ‘Krishi Jagran Facebook Live Series’, has collaborated with Mr. Sunil Mansinghka, Coordinator of Go-Vigyaan Anusandhan Kendra Deolapar, Nagpur. In today’s live session, Mr. Sunil Mansinghka will be sharing his insights into the topic ‘Cow Based Sustainable Agriculture is not a Myth’. Go-Vigyaan Anusandhan Kendra is a premier research organization in social sector dedicated to R&D on medicines, organic farming, renewal energy and rural development sector with a foundation on “panchgavya” which means most essential five items from the life cycle of a cow.
