Farmers must be encouraged to adopt integrated farming system model i.e. farmer should grow field crop, do horticulture, dairy, fishery, Vermicomposting, mushroom cultivation and tree plantation on the boundary of the fields. These will give them incremental earnings.
Soil health card is excellent project of Govt. to help farmer to know which nutrient is missing in his field so that he can put only that specific nutrient fulfilling fertilizer. Currently farmers put each and every possible fertilizer which increases his input cost.
