Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) is a farming system which relies on on-farm biomass to increase productivity of the soil. Practitioners call for non-compost, non-organic inputs to increase fertility by relying on Jeevamrutha and increasing humus content. In India, Subhash Palekar has promoted and written on it extensively.
