Gujarat sarkar ne natural farming ko badhava dene ke liye **₹392 crore** ka budget allot kiya hai. Groundwater ki kami aur zameen kharab hone ki chinta ke beech, **1.51 lakh** farmers isse jud chuke hain, lekin ground reality par abhi bhi bada sawal hai.
Gujarat sarkar ab natural farming ko lekar serious ho rahi hai aur 2026-27 ke liye ₹392 crore ka fund taiyaar hai. Asal mein, state mein irrigation ki demand limit se 21% zyada hai aur groundwater level girta ja raha hai. Halanki, Gujarat ka agriculture sector 9% ki speed se grow kar raha hai, par ab sustainability aur soil health par focus karna zaroori ho gaya hai.
Enrollment vs Reality ka khel
Abhi tak 1,376 clusters mein kaam ho raha hai aur 1.51 lakh farmers enroll ho chuke hain. Lekin, asli problem ye hai ki registration toh ho gaya, par ground par bahut saare farmers abhi bhi chemical pesticides aur fertilizers ka hi use kar rahe hain. Sirf enrollment numbers dekh kar kush hona thoda risky ho sakta hai, kyunki ye 2015 Organic Farming Policy ki asli kamiyabiyon ko chhupa sakta hai.
Schemes mein kahan phansa hai pech?
'Desi Gau Sahay Yojana' jaisi schemes wahi log le sakte hain jinke paas apni zameen aur janwar hain. Iska matlab saaf hai—jo kiraye par zameen leke kheti karte hain ya jo mazdoor hain, wo is scheme se bahar ho jate hain. Dang Adiwasi Khedut Producer Company jaisi kuch community-led models acche hain, par wo abhi sirf chote examples ban kar reh gaye hain.
Investors ke liye kya hai insight?
Future mein, agar sarkar natural produce ko mid-day meal programs mein jodti hai, toh demand badh sakti hai. Saath hi, GIFT City hone ke karan, green capital attract karne ka bhi chance hai. Investors ke liye point ye hai ki lambe samay mein agricultural policy ka trend chemical-based farming se hat kar sustainable models ki taraf shift ho raha hai. Iska asar aane wale time mein agro-chemical aur fertilizer companies ki demand par zaroor pad sakta hai.
