This article presents an in-depth examination of Jeevamrit, a bio- fertilizer integral to sustainable agricultural practices. Focused on its composition, impact on soil properties, effects on crop yield and quality, and challenges and future directions, this review sheds light on the potential of Jeevamrit to revolutionize modern farming. Advocated by agricultural luminary Subhash Palekar, Jeevamrit embodies a holistic approach to farming, emphasizing soil fertility preservation and ecosystem health. Scientific studies underscore its efficacy in enhancing soil structure, nutrient availability, and crop resilience, contributing to increased agricultural productivity. Despite challenges such as awareness gaps and variability in input quality, addressing these hurdles through farmer education, research, and policy support is imperative. Future research should prioritize long-term field trials to assess Jeevamrit's sustainability and explore synergies with other natural inputs. By incentivizing the adoption of sustainable farming practices, policymakers can pave the way for a resilient and environmentally responsible agricultural future. Jeevamrit symbolizes the transformative potential of sustainable agriculture, ensuring food security, environmental integrity, and the well-being of farming communities.
