Chemical-free natural farming is to be promoted throughout the country.
The agriculture sector has been contributing to about 18-20% of the Indian GDP. Over 14 crore farmers, largely marginal and small, are involved in related activity. Notably, it has been estimated that the livelihood of over 50% of the population (largely rural poor) is inter-twined with the sector. Accordingly, the government has been providing a priority support to the sector as well as complementary sectors and sub-sectors.
