Agriculture has been the mainstay of the Indian economy for countries. Over half the country is population today depends on agriculture and allied services for their livelihoods. Agriculture in India has transitioned from subsistence to commercial farming in order to reduce the country's import dependence on food grains. It has also evolved to meet the diverse nutritional requirements o a rapidly growing populace. Agriculture faces many challenges, making it more and more difficult to achieve its primary objectives feeding the world each year. The majority of the world's poor people lives in rural areas, and agricultural growth has proven effective in lifting rural families out of poverty and hunger. Zero Budget Natural farming (ZBNF) is basically a natural farming technique that uses biological pesticides instead of chemical based fertilizers. The word budget refers to credit and expenses. Subhas Palekes, the discover of ZBNF, gave many theories, principles and methods of ZBNF. The principal methods of ZBNF include crop rotation, green manures and compost biological pest control and mechanical cultivation. There are most popular, 4 pillars of ZBNF i.e. Jivamrita, Bijamrita, Acchodana and Whapasa, which will be discussed. This research paper discussed in detail in this effect of Zero budget Natural farming in soil fertility physically, chemically and biologically. Future prospects and economy on the use of organic fertilizers in agricultural sector were also examined.
