AbstractCertain advancement in the field of agriculture resulted in surplus food grain production sustaining India's population to an era of mechanized farming and remote sensing technologies. This, however also brought about a negative impact on the soil and environment through pollution which ultimately resulted in un-remunerative agriculture. In order to combat this adverse effect, several farming practices has been advocated worldwide such as organic farming which on the other hand is difficult for small and marginal farmers to follow and the product is costly and unattainable by middle- and low-income families. This is where natural farming- a regenerative agriculture approach relying on nature and its product aiming low cost of production and yielding comparatively high produce comes into picture. Keeping this in view, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of natural farming practices, principles and components at Lungzarhtum village, Lawngtlai district, Mizoram and it was recommended as a good practice that will increase the yield of crop and improve the health of the soil.
