Padma Shri Bharat Bhushan Tyagi Revolutionizes Farming with Organic Methods

Padma Shri Bharat Bhushan Tyagi, hailing from Behata village in Sayana Tehsil, Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, has transformed farming practices with his innovative approach. Tyagi, who earned a B.Sc in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry from Delhi University, ventured into farming in 1976 under his father’s guidance. Initially, he practiced modern cost-based farming but soon realized its limitations.

Tyagi’s Shift to Organic Farming

During his early years of farming, Tyagi discovered that modern methods, reliant on ploughing, seeds, fertilizers, irrigation, and pesticides, did not yield the expected results. He observed that this approach left farmers dependent on market conditions and prices, undermining their autonomy and satisfaction. Seeking alternatives, Tyagi explored various activities including beekeeping, textile making, and water conservation. His quest for a more sustainable farming solution led him to visit sage ‘Shri Agrahar Nagarajji’ in 1997, who introduced him to ‘Madhyastha Darshan kum Vadita.’

Tyagi adopted the principle of ‘one field, many crops,’ which significantly improved soil fertility, increased yields, and reduced water and fertilizer usage. By implementing co-cropping techniques, Tyagi halved water usage in his fields, demonstrating the effectiveness of organic methods.

Training and Advocacy for Organic Farming

Tyagi emphasizes four key aspects for successful organic farming: production management, quality certification, processing for value addition, and an efficient marketing system. He believes that integrating these elements can potentially double or even quadruple a farmer’s income. To promote his methods, Tyagi offers free training to farmers every Sunday, covering topics such as cow sheds, dung gas plants, and organic farming techniques.

Tyagi argues that smaller land holdings are not a disadvantage, asserting that organic farming does not require large tracts of land. He maintains that even with limited land, farmers can achieve substantial profits through diligent and sustainable practices. Tyagi remains optimistic about the future success of organic farming.
