Geospatial Analysis of Natural Farming Systems for Environmental Sustainability and Food Security: A Telangana State Perspective

Abstract Natural farming systems exemplify a paradigm shift of sustainable agricultural systems to deal with severe issues of environmental deterioration or even food security in Telangana. This paper explores the use of geospatial tools, such as Remote Sensing (RS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Global Positioning Systems (GPS), in the analysis and monitoring of natural farming systems in different agro-climatic regions of the state of Telangana. We also show that geospatial tools can be used to accurately map natural farmlands, evaluate soil health, monitor crop productivity, and evaluate the environmental impact, based on a systematic review of satellite data, crop suitability analysis, and case studies of such districts as Warangal, Nalgonda, and Karimnagar. The combination of the resources of the National Remote Sensing Center (NRSC) Hyderabad and the Telangana Remote Sensing Applications Center (TGRAC) into the natural farming practices offers practical information to the policy-makers and improves the capacity of the farmers to make their decisions. We have found that natural farming systems get 11% more yields and sustain biodiversity and less chemical dependency, and Telangana has large prospects of organic farming development and expansion in its 210 lakh acres of cultivated lands. This study highlights that geospatial analysis is a potentially useful tool that can be used to scale the natural farming programs and provide food security in Telangana in the long term.
