Interview with Kailash Murthy on Natural Farming (2011)

Kailash Murthy, like all other farmers used fertilizers and pesticides as specified by the agricultural experts. He proudly displayed a record yield in his neighborhood. But to his dismay, he observed that the yield grew less and less each year.
A bank employee by profession and farmer by conviction observed that intensive artificial inputs like fertilizers and chemicals decreased the soil fertility, increased soil erosion and destroyed the food chain of predator and prey population.
He stumbled upon the book, One Straw Revolution, written by a Japanese farmer Masanobu Fukuoka a pioneer in natural farming. The book inspired him to further read the Shastras. Reading the Shastras reveled that India was not new to natural farming. Many Rishes grew their entire food around the ashram with out ploughing. They believed food grown without ploughing is healthier.
So he gave the established farming a break and left the Land to itself, no tilling, no chemical fertilizer, and no use of pesticides, in short, nothing accept scattering of seed at random.
Surprisingly within two years the transformation was remarkable. The natural balance of soil was restored and the 6.5 acres of land transformed itself into a mini forest, a self sustaining eco system.
He was kind enough to talk to us and share with us his experience and wisdom to help more people switch to Natural Farming. Enjoy his wonderful insights in this short 22 minute interview.

I am truly inspired by your talk. I am convinced that Natural farming is the only way.

[@benbridges552]

Wow, not even wasting energy growing annuals that require cooking (more energy to kill the food). Truly a natural farm. Thank you for the video!

Every natural farmer must watch this to understand most of the basic principles.

[@jamesprigioni]

great video and informative, Fukuoka has also inspired me to move towards more natural farming method. I agree with what he says about trial and error, and farming through observation is basically fool proof as long as your patient enough

[@airlinesafety5667]

[@saeedamwanaidah7070]

[@srinivasa2008]

Gentlemen, Thanks for talking about Live Mulching. Could you please suggest few live mulching crops suitable for the environment in South India?

[@sujatadechaudhuri463]

It will be more motivating if you can show your natural farm....actually what you are managing in your place can make experience more practical. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@RishiGangoly]

Yeah. He makes more money by not having to spend it on fertilizer and pesticide and the produce is just as good. In the long run, it is better because the soil quality is becoming better. Also because he does not have to DO any labor, that's another cost that's saved

[@jenniferdcunha3070]

Super attitude towards nature. God bless you Sir.

[@jessiemercay9351]

this is a wonderful endeavor. I would like to suggest Mr. Murthy add to his natural farm, principles of vaastu design. I have students in Bangalore who can assist. When I speak of Vaastu I mean the true Shastri Vaastu not the contemorary superstition.

If you add jivamrit to soil yield will be double and this method is known as zero budget natural farming which is better than natural farming. There is difference between natural farming and zero budget natural farming
