Cow Based Natural Farming is a comprehensive and practical guide that explores the scientific, ecological, economic, and traditional dimensions of cow-centered sustainable agriculture. The book highlights the importance of indigenous cattle in natural farming systems and explains how cow dung, cow urine, Panchagavya, Jeevamrit, and other cow-based inputs contribute to soil fertility, crop productivity, environmental sustainability, and rural livelihoods.
It covers diverse topics including livestock management, feeding systems, fodder production, preventive healthcare, pasture ecology, bio-inputs, economics of natural farming, A2 milk benefits, and entrepreneurship opportunities in agro-based industries. Special emphasis is given to indigenous knowledge systems, low-input agriculture, circular economy models, and climate-resilient farming practices. Written in a clear and systematic manner, the book integrates traditional wisdom with modern sustainable agriculture concepts. It serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, extension workers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and farmers interested in organic farming, regenerative agriculture, livestock-based farming systems, and eco-friendly rural development.
