Abstract

The significance of consuming healthy and chemical-free meals is constantly rising. Consumers are ready to pay extra for high-quality food. To attain economic emancipation, farmers must embrace this entrepreneurial potential. In this context, one such effort by a farmers’ interest organization was studied. In the article, the creation as well as conduct of the group, as well as the group dynamics of the group members, were studied and discussed. Using the case study method, first-hand information was collected via a well-planned interview schedule, in-depth interviews with community members, and the researcher's key findings. The Group Dynamics Index (GDI) was developed to evaluate the dynamics of a group of individuals. This article attempts to disclose a better agricultural technique for poor and marginal land owners in order to improve their earnings. Farmers are being encouraged to spend less and produce more under the zero-budget natural farming program. Jivamrut and Dashparniark, which are produced from cow dung and urine, are utilized by farmers. This has resulted in enhanced soil beneficial micro and macro flora and fauna, as well as a 40 to 45 percent decrease in agricultural expenses. Farmers earn a lot of money when they go to the store to sell their goods. This has revived the traditional mixed-cropping technique and decreased farmers’ dependence on the demand for seeds and inputs.
