What will be Post-Pandemic world be like? There are plenty of options. One of the battle-tested eternal option is : ऋषि कृषि
Rishi means self-reliant. Humans with Rishi-nature grow their food by own. Rishi Krishi does not mean no farming, no ploughing at all. Rishi Krishi means perfect farming that takes care of all inanimate or living beings in the ecosystem and grows food for self without harming nature’s system.
If you are a ignorant farmer and using pesticides, you are participating in bad karma of harming nature.You are entitled to go through fruits of bad karma.
If you are a lethargic farmer and sometimes forget need of the crop (water/manure), you too are participating in bad karma of harming so many living beings(Crop plants) dependent on you. You are entitled to go through fruits of bad karma.
If you are greedy farmer and using artificial fertilizers for more yield, you too are participating in bad karma of harming nature. You are entitled to go through fruits of bad karma.
Any sensitive nature lover farmer will strive to fine tune his/her Krishi activities against ideals of Rishi Krishi.
