Farmers in Andhra Pradesh, India, are using organic methods to protect their crops from the effects of climate change. The use of cow urine, jaggery, and other organic materials as fertilizers and pesticides has proven successful in preventing damage from extreme weather conditions. Experts are calling for the adoption of these methods across India to combat climate change and declining profits in the agricultural sector.

Andhra Pradesh has become a positive example of the benefits of natural farming, and advocates say active government support is the primary driver for the state’s success. Experts say these methods should be expanded across India’s vast agricultural lands as climate change and decreasing profits have led to multiple farmers’ protests this year.
“I incurred huge losses,” said Kanapala, who estimates he lost up to $600 because of the cyclone, a substantial sum for a small farmer in India. “For the next planting season, I plan to use natural farming methods too.” But farmers like Meerabi Chunduru, one of the first in the region to switch to natural farming, said more government and political support is needed. Chunduru said she switched to the practice after her husband’s health deteriorated, which she believes is because of prolonged exposure to some harmful pesticides.
