| description | Abstract Pranic Agriculture (PA) is a holistic, energy-based agricultural method that aims to enhance the vitality of soil, plants, and the environment by leveraging prana (life force). Rooted in energy healing principles, PA focuses on cleansing energetic impurities, energizing crops, shielding against harmful influences, and programming intentions for optimal yield and resilience. Unlike conventional farming, it emphasizes non-invasive, chemical-free practices that align with nature's energy dynamics. Pranic agriculture consist of applying pranic healing techniques to seeds, soil, and plants to balance biofields, improve physiological pathways, and foster ecological harmony. The approach enhances water retention in soil, minimizes chemical runoff, and boosts plant disease resistance. It has showed potential in increasing crop yield, improving nutritional quality, and promoting sustainable practices, making it particularly suitable for farmers in developing regions. This indicate that PA aligns with several UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Zero Hunger (SDG 2), Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3), Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), Climate Action (SDG 13), and Life on Land (SDG 15). PA reduces environmental impact, supports climate resilience, enhances biodiversity, and fosters sustainable land management. Partnerships (SDG 17) can integrate PA into mainstream agriculture, validating its effectiveness through collaborative research and knowledge exchange. PA offers a promising energy-based, sustainable solution to modern agricultural challenges, supporting ecological and human health while reducing reliance on synthetic inputs. |
