Apart from this, the government has increased the agricultural credit target to Rs 20 lakh crore. This will make it easier for farmers to take loans.

focusing on organic farming
Let us tell you that along with the central government, the state governments are working fast to promote natural farming in the country. Efforts are being made to minimize the use of chemical fertilizers and benefit the farmers by reducing the cost. Land is being prepared for this through crop diversification. It is the effort of the government that the farmers should not depend only on the cultivation of traditional crops, but should do farming keeping in mind the cash crops and the health of the soil.
Cow-based natural farming should be emphasized
On the other hand, cow-based natural farming is being promoted in Uttar Pradesh. In the past, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had inspired the farmers and said that in view of the threat from climate change, the need of the hour is to lay emphasis on cow-based natural farming. Yogi Adityanath had said that due to climate change, the maximum damage has been done to the land and water. Messing with Mother Earth is wrong. Which should be closed at any cost. Then Yogi insisted that for this it is necessary that cow-based natural farming should be done instead of chemical farming. In such a situation, we can say that this announcement of the Finance Minister will prove to be a boon for those doing natural farming.
