Central Agricultural University Imphal has underscored how agricultural science is being woven into Manipur's Indigenous Natural Farming system, aiming to boost productivity and sustainability.
Central Agricultural University (CAU) Imphal has recently highlighted the embedding of agricultural science into the state's Indigenous Natural Farming (INF) system, according to a report on e-pao.net.
INF, a practice that relies on local knowledge and natural inputs, has long been a cornerstone of Manipur's agricultural landscape. By integrating scientific research, CAU aims to refine techniques and improve yields.
The university's initiative involves collaboration with local farmers, field demonstrations, and the application of soil health diagnostics, which together seek to enhance soil fertility and crop resilience.
Experts say that this blend of tradition and science could help Manipur's farmers adopt more sustainable practices while maintaining the ecological balance of the region.
