The correct answer is D) Zero Budget Natural Farming.
Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) is a method of farming that does not use any external inputs, such as chemical fertilizers or pesticides. It is based on the principles of natural farming, which emphasizes the use of locally available resources and the promotion of biodiversity.
ZBNF was developed by Subhash Palekar, an Indian agricultural scientist. It has been adopted by farmers in many parts of India, including Karnataka.
The benefits of ZBNF include:
- Increased crop yields
- Improved soil health
- Reduced costs
- Reduced environmental impact
ZBNF is a sustainable and environmentally friendly method of farming that can help to improve the livelihoods of farmers.
