  • Why Soil-Based Systems Scale Better Than Input-Based Systems

    Chemical agriculture scales through factories.Agroecology scales through skills and soil biology. For a project of this scale to succeed: ZBNF meets all four criteria. The Broader Impact: What Andhra Pradesh Demonstrates to the World The ZBNF experiment reveals that large-scale agroecology can work when: It is a model many climate-stressed regions are now studying — from…

  • No dependency on external suppliers

    Unlike chemical agriculture, there is: ZBNF spreads like an “ecological franchise,” where knowledge replaces chemical inputs, and bio-cultures replace purchased fertilizers. Community groups coordinate Thousands of farmers remain connected not through a product supply chain, but through a knowledge and training ecosystem.

  • What farmers experience:

    Mulching transforms the farm floor into a living sponge — much like the forest floor — allowing crops to weather drought, heat waves, and irregular rainfall far better than conventional fields. Together, These Inputs Create a Truly Self-Reliant Farm By producing: each farmer becomes the manager of a complete biological system — not a consumer…

  • Botanical Pest Solutions: The Village Pharmacy That Protects Crops

    Instead of purchasing chemical pesticides, farmers create their own plant-based pest management formulations, relying on bitter leaves, herbs, aromatic compounds, and natural alkaloids found in the hedgerows and common village trees. These botanical extracts work not by poisoning pests but by disturbing their feeding patterns, repelling them, reducing egg-laying, and strengthening plant immunity. A Few Common ZBNF…

  • What Farmers Produce on Their Own Farms — The Heart of ZBNF

    One of the strongest parts of Zero-Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) is that every farmer becomes a maker, not a buyer. Instead of depending on fertilizer shops or long supply chains, farmers create almost everything they need right on their own land. The materials come from the farm, the village, or nearby fields. The main input…

  • What Crops Are Grown Under ZBNF?

    ZBNF is not crop-specific. It has been adopted widely for: Staple Crops Commercial Crops Horticulture Spices & Niche Crops Because the system builds soil biology rather than feeding the plant directly, almost any crop can be grown under ZBNF with proper crop planning.

  • decentralized, farmer-made — not factory-made

    One of the most common misconceptions is that Jeevamrutham is produced in a central facility and distributed like fertilizer.In reality, every farmer produces it on their own farm — and this is intentional. Why decentralized production? Each farmer mixes the ingredients in a barrel, stirs the solution twice a day for 5–7 days, and applies it through…

  • Ghost Mantis in Bioactive Terrariums: Natural Pest Control and Living Décor

    The ghost mantis is a popular choice for bioactive terrariums. Keepers love it for its leaf-like look and calm behavior. In a natural enclosure, it blends in with branches and dried leaves so well that it becomes part of the décor. Its slow sway and still posture bring life to the setup in a way…

  • How Long Do Ghost Mantises Live?

    Ghost mantises have a naturally short life cycle, shaped by the seasonal rhythms of their dry African habitats. Their lifespan is modest compared to larger mantis species, but each stage is packed with rapid growth, delicate molts, and a brief adult period devoted to feeding and reproduction. Average Lifespan Most ghost mantises live for 6–10 months in…

  • What Their Wild Habitat Teaches Us About Pet Care

    Understanding where ghost mantises live helps keepers recreate ideal conditions at home. Temperature & Humidity Enclosure Setup Replicate their natural environment with: Overly humid setups can cause stress and molting failures—conditions rare in the wild.
