कृषि में बायोएंजाइम की भूमिका: प्राकृतिक खेती की ओर लौटता भारत

 मिट्टी सिर्फ़ जमीन नहीं है — यह जीवन की जननी है। कृषि की असली नींव मिट्टी है, और जब मिट्टी स्वस्थ होती है, तभी पौधा अच्छा फलता-फूलता है। यह प्रकृति का सरल लेकिन अनमोल सिद्धांत है: पहले दो, फिर लो। जब हम मिट्टी को सही पोषण देते हैं, तभी वह हमें पौष्टिक भोजन देती है। लेकिन जब हम उस पर रासायनिक उर्वरकों और कीटनाशकों का ज़हर डालते हैं, तो बदले में हमें बीमार करने वाला भोजन, दूषित जल और खराब पर्यावरण ही मिलता है।

आज की रासायनिक खेती ने न केवल हमारी मिट्टी को बंजर बना दिया है, बल्कि उसकी जैव विविधता को भी नष्ट कर दिया है। इसी बिंदु पर बायोएंजाइम एक समाधान के रूप में सामने आता है। यह प्राकृतिक रूप से फलों के छिलकों, गुड़ और पानी से बनने वाला घोल है, जो सूक्ष्म जीवों को सक्रिय करता है और मिट्टी की जीवंतता लौटाता है।

हमने वैज्ञानिकों के सहयोग से कई बायोएंजाइम आधारित समाधान तैयार किए हैं जो मिट्टी की संरचना को सुधारते हैं, उसमें हवा, पानी और पोषण के प्रवाह को बढ़ाते हैं और पौधों की जड़ों तक सूक्ष्म पोषक तत्वों को पहुँचने में मदद करते हैं। यह न केवल फसल की गुणवत्ता को बेहतर बनाता है, बल्कि पैदावार को भी बढ़ाता है।

आज हमें एक बड़ा सवाल खुद से पूछना चाहिए — क्या हम भोजन मानवों, पशुओं, पक्षियों और मधुमक्खियों के लिए उगा रहे हैं, या सिर्फ़ खाद्य उद्योग के लिए? उद्योग-आधारित खेती केवल अधिक उत्पादन पर केंद्रित है, न कि गुणवत्ता या पर्यावरण पर। इस लालच ने मिट्टी की उर्वरता खत्म कर दी है, भूजल को प्रदूषित किया है और जलवायु परिवर्तन को और तेज कर दिया है।

अगर हम बायोएंजाइम, बायोमास और पारंपरिक जैविक विधियों को अपनाएं, तो हम न केवल अपनी मिट्टी को स्वस्थ बना सकते हैं, बल्कि जल, वायु और जीवन चक्र को भी संतुलित कर सकते हैं। मिट्टी में ही सच्ची खाद्य सुरक्षा है, न कि बोतल में बंद रसायनों में। एक किसान, जो बायोएंजाइम से जुड़ता है, वह केवल फसल नहीं उगाता, बल्कि जीवन उगाता है — वह अपने खेत में मिट्टी, जल और जीवों के बीच संतुलन कायम करता है।

बायोएंजाइम खेती केवल एक तकनीक नहीं, बल्कि एक विचार है — प्रकृति से जुड़ने का, उसके नियमों को समझने का और उसे सहयोगी मानकर चलने का। जब हम मिट्टी को प्रेम और पोषण देते हैं, तो वह हमें हजार गुना लौटाती है। यही है बायोएंजाइम का चमत्कार — मिट्टी से जीवन तक।

🌱 Creating Change with Every Seed Ball: A Day of Purpose and Gratitude

📅 Date: June 21, 2025

📍 Venue: Dombivli, Maharashtra
📝 By: Asmita, BEA Member – Mumbai

On June 21st, I had the immense privilege of participating in the Seed Ball – India Book of Records event, organized by the Rotary Club of Dombivli. The energy, the unity, and the shared love for the Earth made it a truly memorable experience.

As part of this inspiring initiative, I contributed by making almost 400 seed balls, each one symbolizing hope, regeneration, and our responsibility towards nature. The event brought together hundreds of like-minded individuals who believe in taking small yet powerful steps for the environment.

What made the day even more special was the opportunity to represent the Bioenzyme Entrepreneurs Academy of India (BEA) and share our mission of chemical-free, sustainable living with respected dignitaries.

I was honored to gift Citrus Bioenzyme to Shri Ravindra Chavhan Ji, the Working President of the Bharatiya Janata Party. He has served as Cabinet Minister and Maharashtra State Minister of Public Works. During our interaction, I spoke about the power of bioenzymes and how they are transforming waste into solutions for water, soil, and human health.

Meeting someone of his stature and having a chance to speak about my journey with BEA—from learning to becoming an advocate for sustainability—was deeply empowering. It was not just about sharing a product, but about planting the seed of a larger conversation around clean, green alternatives that begin at home and ripple through communities.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Rotary Club of Dombivli for organizing this beautiful event and for giving me the platform to connect, learn, and contribute. Events like these remind us that real change begins with committed hearts and collective action.

Together, one seed ball and one bioenzyme bottle at a time—we move closer to a greener planet. 🌍💚

The Return Gift: A Gift the Earth Loves

The idea of a Return Gift has been on my mind for months. Every celebration—be it a wedding, housewarming, naming ceremony, birthday, or festival—comes with a return gift. Wherever I go, I come back with one. But why? Is it a heartfelt gesture of gratitude, a social norm, or just another status symbol?

As I walk this path toward a sustainable lifestyle, the concept of return gifts often feels like a burden rather than a joy. Many times, these gifts are mass-produced, wrapped in plastic, and soon forgotten—adding to the very waste we strive to reduce.

What If We Thought Differently?

Our Earth has been the greatest giver—offering us air to breathe, soil to grow food, water to drink, and even the luxuries we take for granted. Yet, how do we reciprocate? Instead of gratitude, we give back pollution, plastics, chemicals, deforestation, landfills, and poisoned waters. If Earth had a voice, she would cry out in pain. But are we listening?

A Gift of Abundance at Verde Vasundhara

At Verde Vasundhara 2025, we asked ourselves: What if we changed the idea of return gifts? What if, instead of giving things people may not need, we gave what the Earth loves?

It took courage to redefine what a gift should be. But we knew one thing—everyone loves a gift when it truly fulfills a need. So, at this sustainability fest, our return gifts will not just be thoughtful but will align with nature, nurturing both people and the planet.

Let’s Give Back, the Right Way

🌱 Let’s gift seeds that will grow into trees.

💧 Let’s gift clean water by reducing waste.

🌿 Let’s gift soil that breathes, free from toxins.

♻️ Let’s gift a lifestyle that honors nature.

This planet belongs to all of us—humans, animals, forests, water, and even the smallest microorganisms. Every choice we make is a gift to the future. Let's make it one that Earth will cherish.

Join us at Verde Vasundhara 2025 and be part of this movement—a festival that gifts abundance, not waste. Because when we give the Earth what she loves, she gives back more than we can ever imagine. 🌍✨

Living in Harmony with Earth

Earth is not just a planet; she is a mother to all. She provides us with everything we need—air to breathe, water to drink, and food to nourish our bodies. Yet, in our pursuit of convenience and progress, we often forget this fundamental truth. We see nature as a resource to be used rather than a living system we are deeply connected to.

Understanding Our Place in Ecology

We are not separate from Earth; we are born out of her. The same five elements that make up the soil, rivers, and air are also within us. Yet, our choices—our education, our lifestyle, and our consumption—are often disconnected from the ecological balance that sustains life.

Earth doesn’t need us; we need her. But we will truly understand this only when we face crises—when the air becomes unbreathable, the water undrinkable, and the soil barren. By then, it may be too late.

The Way Forward: Moderation and Regeneration

The only way to restore balance is to embrace moderation. Excessive consumption—whether of resources, energy, or material goods—leads to depletion and destruction. Instead, we must align our lives with the natural cycles of regeneration.

This means:
✔ Choosing education that teaches ecological awareness, not just profit-driven progress.
✔ Adopting lifestyles that reduce waste, embrace sustainability, and respect nature’s limits.
✔ Supporting regenerative practices in farming, industry, and daily living.

We must remember that we are stewards, not owners, of this planet. Living in harmony with Earth is not a sacrifice—it is the only way forward. Let us shift our mindset, not for the sake of the planet, but for our own survival and the well-being of generations to come.

Because when we heal Earth, we heal ourselves.
