Natural farming is a holistic, environmentally sustainable, and commercially feasible organic agricultural system that protects the soil's reproductive and regenerative abilities. According to modern agricultural principles, we should concentrate on improving production with the fewest number of inputs. Natural farming is an inexpensive agriculture practice that is closely tied to nature. It is based on four principles: no cultivation, no weeding with tillage or herbicides, no use of synthetic fertilisers, and no dependence on chemicals. As the world's population grows, so does the need for nutritious, organic foods. However, because of the use of chemical inputs in intensive farming, soil erodes fast, and dangerous microorganisms, as well as poisonous hazardous chemicals, build in soil media. As a result, plants absorb these harmful compounds, and when we consume this grain, this material enters our bodies and activates our metabolic pathways. These necessitate the emergence of chemical-free diversified agriculture-based farming practices with a greater emphasis on affordable native resources and management practices as a generic term "Natural Farming" in which the use of externally purchased inputs is avoided or minimised and the use of native resources with agro-ecological principles, people participation, and common resource management is largely focused for the benefit of farmers and communities. This strategy promotes multi-cropping and diversification of micro/macro flora. Thus, the low-cost, ecologically friendly farming approach must be used countrywide in order to maintain environmental harmony, minimise fertilizer consumption, and assist the farmers by increasing crop yields and profit margins. However, these are preliminary results, and further study is needed to establish the benefits for all crops across all environmental circumstances.
