Empowering Rural India through Sustainable Agriculture

Join us in transforming the agricultural landscape!

Our Story

Since our founding in 2017, Kissan Gurukul has been dedicated to enhancing India’s rural economy through sustainable farming methods and innovative skill development. Our journey began with a vision to support Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), Self-Help Groups (SHGs), and Joint Liability Groups (JLGs), providing essential resources, tools, and training to foster self-employment and promote village exports.

What is Natural Farming?

  • No Chemical Inputs:
    Avoids synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, relying on natural composts, manure, and bio-fertilizers.

  • Soil Health:
    Emphasizes soil fertility through organic matter, beneficial microorganisms, and mulching.

  • Local Seed Use:
    Focuses on using local and traditional seed varieties that are resilient and adapted to local conditions.

Residue-Free Farming

Residue-free farming, often associated with organic practices, ensures that agricultural products have no chemical residues. This method focuses on using inputs that do not leave toxic residues, which is crucial for crops like vegetables, fruits, and herbs consumed fresh.

Key Practices

  • Biological Pest Control: Using natural predators and bio-pesticides to manage pests without chemical intervention.
  • Safe Inputs: Using only those pesticides and fertilizers that degrade fully before harvest, ensuring no residues remain.
  • Stringent Testing: Regular testing of produce to confirm the absence of any harmful residues.
Advantages of Natural and Residue-Free Farming in Net Houses and Polyhouses Controlled environments like net houses and polyhouses provide an ideal setting for natural and residue-free farming. Here are some specific advantages:
Improved Pest and Disease Control

The enclosed structure of net houses and polyhouses reduces the risk of pest entry, enabling more effective biological control methods, thereby reducing the need for chemical pesticides.

Polyhouses provide stable temperatures and humidity levels, which can minimize disease occurrence, allowing natural farming techniques to be more effective.

Enhanced Crop Quality and Yield
    • Residue-free produce is in high demand, fetching premium prices due to its safety and quality.

      Crops grown in polyhouses often have higher yields due to the controlled climate, and natural farming can enhance nutritional content and flavor.

Water Efficiency
Lorem ipsum

In natural farming, techniques like mulching and organic matter usage retain moisture, and polyhouses conserve water by reducing evaporation, which is particularly valuable in arid regions.

Drip irrigation systems in these settings can further reduce water usage while optimizing plant health.

Soil Health and Longevity
Lorem ipsum

By avoiding chemical inputs, natural farming in net houses or polyhouses prevents soil degradation, promoting soil health over the long term.

Practices such as composting and organic mulching enhance soil biodiversity, benefiting successive crops in controlled environments.

Environmental Sustainability
Lorem ipsum

Natural farming reduces the reliance on synthetic chemicals, thus preventing soil and water contamination.

Controlled environments allow for year-round cultivation, which can alleviate pressure on natural resources and promote food security in off-seasons.

Consumer Health and Safety
Lorem ipsum

Residue-free farming ensures produce is free from harmful residues, appealing to health-conscious consumers.

The demand for organic and residue-free produce is growing, making this an economically viable practice that aligns with market trends.

Cost Savings
Lorem ipsum

Natural farming reduces the need for expensive synthetic inputs, allowing cost savings on fertilizers and pesticides.

While the initial setup for net houses or polyhouses can be high, the longer-term operational costs are often lower due to fewer chemical inputs and better resource efficiency.

Natural and residue-free farming in net houses and polyhouses combines the best of sustainable agriculture and controlled environment agriculture (CEA). This approach not only benefits the environment but also produces high-quality, safe, and nutritious food. Through efficient pest management, enhanced crop quality, and water conservation, these methods support both farmer profitability and environmental health.

Residue-Free Farming Practices

  • Biological Pest Control:
    Natural predators instead of chemical pesticides.

  • Safe Inputs:
    Pesticides and fertilizers that fully degrade before harvest.

  • Stringent Testing:
    Ensuring no harmful residues in the produce.
