True green revolution
Living an organic life is the trend now. People love to spend a little extra on organic food products.
So lets see how one can start a business plan around it. Lets see how integrated farm works
Mix all possible animals and plants in the farm of at least 6 acres

Cover crop:
A crop which is used for organic manure.
This crop should grow until small fruits are appearing.
Then the crop should be destroyed in the soil which will make it manure
Subsidy benefits
http://odisha.gov.in/govtpress/pdf/2013/1311.pdf
http://www.ecobrick.in/subsidies_available_for_settingup_a_brick_enterprise.aspx
Phosphorus: rock phosphate and bone meal are both good sources. Chicken manure
Potassium: kelp meal or greensand are long-lasting potassium releasers. wood ash
Calcium: Egg shell powder
Magnesium: epsom salts will raise magnesium without affecting pH, while dolomitic lime will raise both pH and magnesium.
Sulfur: generally required only in alkaline soil. Adding sulfur will slowly lower pH through microbial action. - See more at:

Uses of cow dung
mushrooms can be grown on newspaper, cardboard, books, corncobs, corntalks, peanut shells, tea leaves, coffee grounds
Put some insect killer machines in the farm which will reduce pest on plants and reduced diseases. Be careful if you are growing honey bees.
Dudura plant works as an insect repellent, which protects neighboring plants from insects.

Termite farming to Feed Fish and Chickens
- Take a pot with a short neck that can hold 10 litres of water.
- Fill it up with cow dung and straw and sprinkle it all with a little water.
- Set the pot upside down with the opening on the soil.
- After one day and one night, the pot will be full of termite.
- Empty the termites from the pot where the birds can feed on them.
Farmers fill a mud pot with old jute sacks, paddy straw, maize husk or any available dried crop stubble and dried cow dung. This has to be moistened with water and the pot placed upside down in the field.
If the inverted pot is opened the next day it will be full of termites and can be given as feed for the birds.
Termites eat up on the compost. So you must start a termite farm to keep them away from composting.

Chicken local:

2. Plan for 500 chicks each in 2 phases - out of which 400 will survive in each phase
3. Sell the older chicken every six months (400 x 150 = 60,000 ~ 1,20,000 a year for one cycle x 2 phases ~ 2,40,000)
4. Cocks and roosters must be maintained for two cycles only. Then sell them as well.
5. Plan 15 chicks per each rooster out of which count 10 survivals
6. Separate each of them properly so they are safe
7. Personal care for each herd after the chicks arise
8. A separate space for egg hatching with proper facilities like water, food grains and some privacy
9. Remove the fighting chickens on a regular basis
10. Take care of the health for each of them
Chicken Broiler:
1. At least 1000 (1000 sft) chicks must be grown @ every two months 5 cycles

Goats; 100 + 10
http://articles.extension.org/pages/19720/goat-reproduction-puberty-and-sexual-maturity
1. Sell around 100 goats a year (100*4000=4,00,000)
Cover crop:
A crop which is used for organic manure.
This crop should grow until small fruits are appearing.
Then the crop should be destroyed in the soil which will make it manure

Potting Mix Recipe
- 1 part of good quality red soil/top soil
- 1 part of cocopeat/peat moss
- 1 part of compost (Vermicompost/manure)
For every 15 litres of the above mix, add 200 grams of bone meal, and 200 grams of oil cake and 200 grams of wood ash. Thoroughly mix them. Once the mixture is uniformly mixed, put it in a sack or a big container , cover it and leave it for a good 3 weeks time. Ensure that the mix is little moist. It should not drip when you squeeze it in your palm. After 2-3 weeks, the potting mix is ready for use.
Nitrogen: provided abundantly by leguminous cover crops, composted manure, fish fertilizer or alfalfa meal. Phosphorus: rock phosphate and bone meal are both good sources. Chicken manure
Potassium: kelp meal or greensand are long-lasting potassium releasers. wood ash
Calcium: Egg shell powder
Magnesium: epsom salts will raise magnesium without affecting pH, while dolomitic lime will raise both pH and magnesium.
Sulfur: generally required only in alkaline soil. Adding sulfur will slowly lower pH through microbial action. - See more at:

I also take the egg shells and save them until I have a bowl full. Then I cook them in the microwave for 5 minutes on High and grind them up finely before feeding them back to the chickens. Never feed them egg shells that haven't been pre-cooked and ground up finely as this can lead to egg eating, which is a habit that is almost impossible to break

Mushroom Growing
100 pounds of sawdust, 50 pounds of one half to four inch wood chips, 40 pounds of bran, and 5 to 7 pounds of gypsum, moistened to 60 to 65% water and then sterilised.
chop wheat, rye, oat, or rice straw into 1 to 4 inch lengths, then pasteurise it and inoculate.
mushrooms can be grown on newspaper, cardboard, books, corncobs, corntalks, peanut shells, tea leaves, coffee grounds
Put some insect killer machines in the farm which will reduce pest on plants and reduced diseases. Be careful if you are growing honey bees.
Dudura plant works as an insect repellent, which protects neighboring plants from insects.
