Agriculture depends on a number of natural processes, sometimes described as ‘environmental services’, such as water supply, the cycling of nutrients in soils, pollination, natural means of pest control and carbon sequestration and many more . These services are provided by many types of plants , animals, birds , bees , and bacteria etc.
Modern agriculture, generally termed the ‘Green Revolution ‘have significantly degraded soil with massive application of chemical fertilisers , disturbed the underground water, carbon and nitrogen cycles, has led to the emergence of many pesticide-resistant pests and pathogens and reduced the productivity of agricultural land
Incorporating livestock into a crop farm (grain, vegetable, or orchard) can benefit the soil organic matter and fertility, diversify the product base, provide new sources of income and farm resilience, and help with weed and pest control.
Chemical, fuel, and fertilizer expenditures can be minimized and add a new dimension added to the farm.
Weather your land is tilled and cultivated or barren integrate crop and livestock in your agricultural practice .
Start with free range country poultry and goatery in your land with very low investment and sell farm produces directly to urban consumer bases of Bangalore (fresh milk , egg or meat ) through boutique model dairy or poultry own or associate outlets .
Slowly expand into crop and horticulture and certification process .
