This approach is like organic farming but, strictly speaking the big difference is that it uses no tillage at all. This method believes that the home of the organisms that live in the soil should not be disturbed. Straws from previous crops may be simply allowed to lodge or not used as mulch, and seed is simply broadcast but may be coated in mud so birds do not eat it. This method is ideally suited for arid regions as it needs the least water of all methods, and the soil is not eroded by wind or flowing water (in dry or monsoon seasons). This farming approach was practiced and championed early by Masanobu Fukuoka in his book, “The One Straw Revolution”. In India this has been called “Rishi Kheti”, and the approach was championed by Partap Agarwal, while in Punjab this has been called “Kudreti Kheti”. This method uses much less labor and a minimal disruption of nature (even less than organic farming). He claimed to get higher yields than neighboring fields that used high tillage, tractors and chemicals.In his book, he said that by healing the soil contributes to the health of nature, our own health, and is tied to our spiritual health and that of life itself. Considering the fact that most of pUnjab’s soils have lost fertility, this approach needs a transition to first enrich the soil with organic content, get rid of the hardpan sub soil that has developed with use of heavy tractors, and then learn the techniques needed for crops and the other plant species they like to grow with.
