Abstract Modern high-input, chemically intensive agricultural systems have led to serious ecological, environmental, and human-health concerns, including soil degradation, groundwater depletion, pest resistance, biodiversity loss, and contamination of food and water resources. These challenges necessitate the adoption of low-input, eco-friendly, and holistic farming approaches. Agro-homeopathy, an emerging application of homeopathic principles in agriculture, offers a sustainable alternative by enhancing plant vitality, resilience, and self-regulatory capacity through ultra-diluted remedies. Rooted in the principles of ‘Similia Similibus Curentur’ (like cures like), minimum dose, and holistic ecosystem management, Agro-homeopathy aims to strengthen crops rather than directly suppress pests or pathogens. The approach has been explored across various stages of crop production — from seed germination and stress management to disease control, soil health improvement, and post-harvest quality enhancement. Case studies from India and abroad, including initiatives such as Ameya Krishi Vignana Kendram (Telangana), the AHAR project (Puducherry), AHOBHAG (Uttarakhand), pilot projects across multiple Indian states, and experimental trials in Brazil and Europe, indicate potential benefits such as improved soil biology, reduced chemical dependency, enhanced crop resilience, and cost- effective production. Despite promising field-level observations, Agro-homeopathy faces challenges related to scientific validation, standardization, and large-scale adoption.

When integrated with organic and regenerative farming practices, Agro-homeopathy holds significant potential as a complementary tool for advancing sustainable and climate- resilient agricultural systems.
