Input supply management is the most difficult challenge for farmers & growers. They have to find a reliable source of high quality agricultural inputs, such as seed, fertilizer, farm equipment, veterinary supplies and services.
In meeting production challenges, JBF assists farmers / growers to access quality farm inputs at the best market prices either procurement from national/ international manufactures and suppliers or through quality production.
Plant Nutrient Management refers to the maintenance of soil fertility and plant nutrients supply to an optimum level for sustaining the desired productivity through optimization of the benefits from all possible sources of organic, inorganic and biological components in an integrated manner.
JBF encourages farmers to follow the principal of conservation agriculture in order to minimize soil disturbance, promoting intercropping and crop rotations and developing a permanent soil cover to minimize the need for chemical fertilizers.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an ecosystem approach to crop production and protection that combines different management strategies and practices to grow healthy crops and minimize the use of pesticides. JBF provides Farmers / Growers / Corporations with Integrated Pest Management through Organic & Bio Products. We follow four-tiered approach to control pest incidence including:
Organic IPM is done with the help of Bio-Pesticides, Organic Pesticides, Plant Extracts, and Natural Remedies available in the local area. JBF provides complete solution for integrated pest management in host environment including:
Organic Farming is a form of agriculture that relies on ecosystem management and attempts to reduce or eliminate chemical agricultural inputs. It is a holistic production management system that promotes and enhances agro-ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. Organic farming excludes the use of synthetic inputs, such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
Methods of organic farming vary. However, Organic approaches share common goals and practices. In addition to the exclusion of synthetic agrichemicals, these include protection of the soil from:
With the increase in population our compulsion would be not only to stabilize agricultural production. The scientists have realized that the ‘Green Revolution’ with high input use has reached a plateau and is now sustained with diminishing return of falling dividends. Thus, a natural balance needs to be maintained at all cost for existence of life and property. In this way JBF is helping to contribute to meaningful socio-economic and ecologically sustainable development opportunities while improving the income and living conditions of farmers. Inputs commonly used in Organic Agriculture are:
JBF also provides assistance to farmers to develop 100% Certified Organic Farms. The objective of the programme is to provide access to high quality Organic Inputs and Training Manuals on Organic Agriculture.
One of the biggest green trends today is urban farming (also known as urban agriculture). Simply put, urban farming can be any type of farming that takes places in a city environment. Possibilities vary from tiny farming plots in private yards to large rooftop gardens. During difficult times, urban farming has been successfully used to prevent food shortages, and even today this method of farming provides extra nourishment and income to many families in e.g. developing countries
JBF are urban agricultural experts, we know how to grow and we know how to build. We also know how to efficiently grow crops for the modern urban household. We are nutrients and imputes experts obsessed with producing healthiest, tastiest, and most sustainable crops. JBF helps modern urban households to grow crops through:
Due to the shortage of land it is not possible to cultivate the agriculture crops in cities, but there is huge requirement of the agriculture produce in urban locations.
Hydroponics is best technology for the agriculture cultivation where soil is not available. It can be cultivated on the roof top in the hilly area, on the concrete floor.
Hydroponics is a subset of hydro culture and is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite, gravel, mineral wool, expanded clay or coconut husk.
Some of the reasons why hydroponics is being adapted around the world for food production are the following:
