Zero Budget Natural Farming for the Sustainable Development Goals

This issue brief maps the social, economic and environmental impacts of the Government of Andhra Pradesh’s (GoAP) Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) programme vis-à-vis specific targets under each Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). Once rolled out across the state, ZBNF could help Andhra Pradesh and India make significant progress towards almost a quarter of the 169 SDG targets. This mapping exercise uses data from the crop cutting experiments (CCEs) conducted by Rythu Sadhikara Samstha (RySS) in all 13 districts of the state.

In 2016-17, the GoAP initiated the programme to introduce ZBNF practices to all farmers in the state. Within one year, around 1,63,000 farmers in 972 villages across 13 districts of Andhra Pradesh had adopted ZBNF practices. As of Sep. 2018, the number of farmers enrolled in ZBNF is 3,54,000. The GoAP plans to cover six million farmers in more than 12,000 Gram Panchayats by 2024 and cover the entire cultivable area of eight million hectares by 2026.
