“Reviving Bundelkhand’s Soil: How Natural Farming and Desi Products Are Changing the Game”

In the heart of India, nestled between rocky hills and ancient rivers, Bundelkhand has long been a land of resilience. But in recent decades, this beautiful region has battled with droughts, declining soil fertility, and farmer distress. Amid these challenges, a new hope is rising — natural farming and authentic, chemical-free products rooted in the traditions of this land.

At Bundelkhandi Agri, we are not just building a brand — we are building a movement. A movement to return to natural farming, preserve the nutritional purity of food, and empower rural farmers to thrive with dignity.

What is Natural Farming — and Why is It Needed Now More Than Ever?

Natural farming is farming without chemicals, without pesticides, and without machines that damage the soil. It’s a system based on ancient Indian wisdom, where the focus is on the health of the soil, the environment, and the farmer.

In Bundelkhand, the red and black soils have been overburdened with synthetic inputs for decades. Farmers were promised higher yields, but ended up with debts and degraded lands.

By adopting practices like:

• Jeevamrit (a fermented mixture of cow dung, urine, jaggery, and soil)

• Bijamrit (a natural seed treatment solution)

• Mulching (covering soil with organic matter to retain moisture)

• Cow-based farming inputs from desi breeds

…we are seeing real change.

Example:

Our moong (green gram) farmers in Chitrakoot who switched to natural methods reported 25-30% better soil texture within one season. Water retention improved, weeds reduced, and pests were naturally controlled by neem and cow urine sprays — no chemicals involved.

Our Products Reflect Our Commitment

At Bundelkhandi Agri, we don’t just preach — we practice. Our products are grown or sourced directly from farmers using natural and traditional methods.

1. Bundelkhandi Unpolished Desi Sabut Moong

Sourced from small farms around Chitrakoot, our moong is grown using jeevamrit and without pesticides. It is sun-dried, hand-cleaned, and unpolished, ensuring every grain is full of nutrients and fiber. Unlike factory-polished dals that lose their nutrients in the polishing process, ours retain their original texture, taste, and health benefits.

Real story:

One of our customers from Bhopal mentioned how our moong cooked faster and had a “natural earthy flavor” — reminding her of her grandmother’s cooking.

2. Bundelkhandi Garam Masala

Handmade in small batches, our masala is crafted using naturally grown spices like desi jeera, coriander, and black pepper. The difference? No fillers, no preservatives, and full of aroma.

Example:

Instead of machine grinding, we use slow grinding chakki methods that retain the natural oils of the spices. You’ll notice the masala doesn’t just add heat — it adds flavor.

Beyond Products: Our Farm of the Future

We’re currently developing a 28,000 sq. ft. model farm in Chitrakoot that will serve as a center for sustainable agriculture. Here’s what it will include:

• A natural dairy farm with desi cows, producing dung and urine for farming inputs and A2 milk products.

• Fisheries for integrated farming.

• Fruit tree plantations like amla, guava, and drumstick (moringa) to enhance biodiversity.

• Solar-powered tube wells to promote clean energy.

• Processing units for mustard oil (kachi ghani), wheat flour (chakki atta), dal mill, and spices — all under one eco-friendly roof.

This isn’t just a farm — it’s a vision for a self-reliant Bundelkhand.

Let’s Talk Economics

Many people assume natural farming gives lower yields. But here’s the truth: the input costs drop drastically, making farming more profitable.

Example:

Chemical farming of moong costs about ₹12,000 per acre. In contrast, natural farming brings that down to around ₹4,000 — using homemade jeevamrit, free mulching material, and zero chemical sprays.

The final yield? Very close. But profit margin increases, and the soil improves year after year.
