Context:
The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare has stated that more than 9.42 lakh farmers have joined the nationwide Khet Bachao Abhiyan / Save the Farm Campaign. The campaign promotes balanced fertiliser use, soil fertility conservation and sustainable farming practices through awareness programmes, training sessions and demonstrations.
Explanation:
- Khet Bachao Abhiyan is a nationwide campaign launched under the Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare.
- Its main aim is to promote balanced fertiliser use and prevent overuse of chemical fertilisers.
- Balanced fertiliser use means applying nutrients such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium according to soil and crop requirements.
- Excessive use of fertilisers, especially urea, can reduce soil fertility, disturb soil microbes and increase input costs for farmers.
- Scientific fertiliser use is linked with Soil Health Cards, soil testing, nutrient management and sustainable agriculture.
- The campaign uses awareness programmes, training sessions and field demonstrations to guide farmers.
- It supports larger goals such as soil health management, climate-resilient farming, sustainable productivity and farmer income protection.
