In this episode, host Mandeep Singh sits down with farmer Amrit Singh to discuss an important question facing Punjab farmers today: Why has livestock farming become so expensive?
Farmers once relied on a balanced farming system where crops, animals, and natural resources supported each other. Today, many farmers grow only a few crops and depend on the market for animal feed, oilseeds, and other inputs. This market dependence has made livestock farming increasingly costly.
Amrit Singh shares his real-life farming experience and explains how understanding natural farming systems, insects, and local plants can reduce costs and improve sustainability. He also talks about how many insects in the field are actually beneficial and how farmers can learn to work with nature instead of constantly relying on chemicals.
This conversation highlights:
Why are livestock farming costs rising?
How the market system affects farmers?
The importance of crop diversity in farming
Understanding insects and natural ecosystems in agriculture
Practical lessons from years of farming experience
This discussion is valuable for farmers, agriculture enthusiasts, and anyone interested in sustainable and natural farming.
