Centre plans to offer sops for natural farming under national mission

The central government is considering offering sops to farmers to adopt natural ways of farming, which will be part of a soon-to-be-launched national mission, reported The Economic Times (ET) on Monday. The Centre is considering incentives, including monetary support for farmers to buy good quality seeds and natural manure as well as for marketing support for products, the report stated. 

A final call on the same will be taken soon, a senior government official told ET.

The mission will lay out a roadmap for the adoption of sustainable and cost-effective natural farming techniques, the official told the newspaper.
