Natural farming

Spring is here and hectic farming activity will soon resume in the mountains. We spoke with Sujata Negi who is Block Technical Manager for the Agricultural Technology Management Agency (ATMA) in Spiti. She tells us points to keep in mind while starting to sow crops for the coming season.
This is the first of a two-part conversation.

वसंत आ गया है और पहाड़ों में जल्द ही खेती-किसानी का काम फिर से शुरू हो जाएगा। हमने स्पीति में कृषि प्रौद्योगिकी प्रबंधन एजेंसी (ATMA) की ब्लॉक तकनीकी प्रबंधक सुजाता नेगी से बात की। उन्होंने हमें आने वाले मौसम के लिए फसल बोने से पहले ध्यान रखने योग्य बातें बताईं। यह दो भागों वाली बातचीत का पहला भाग है।
