Now many farmers in India have been induced to produce more intensive agricultural production, similar to what we currently have in the United States. This cultivation method is called Tamsik and is a destructive way of farming using pesticides and herbicides. Before the days of landowners and pesticides, many Indians practiced satvic agriculture. This is a gentle way of farming that should produce nutritious agricultural products. This way of farming can include animal production, but often occurs on a small scale. Agricultural production is often intensive and may include crop supplementation to help return nutrients to the soil. This system could replace current agricultural production, but due to the small amount of animal production and zero beef production, it would not be a viable option for U.S. agriculture.
