By addressing economic, environmental, and social challenges faced by the agricultural sector, NMNF has the potential to redefine the future of Indian farming, comprising small and marginal farmers.
Since NF is free of chemical stimulants, looks like production will be low, which could be a disincentive for the farmer, although better price could offset that. This could be the reason for this small pilot of about 1% of land. Farmers of Punjab and WB are less likely to adapt because of political issues and the extent of corruption involved. As usual, states like UP, MP, Gujarat will be the biggest participants and beneficiaries.
Punjab, HP, WB will crib about 897 crores, while they don't think twice before spending thousands of crores on freebies.
Overall, a good step in right direction, we expect at least 50% of farmers to adapt to it next 10 years.

Very insightful.
