The farming land in most of countries is shrinking fast because of rapid paced industrial development and ever increasing requirement of more land for residential and commercial purposes. On the other side, ever increasing prices of fuels, seeds, pesticides and fertilizers are reducing the profits in agriculture business. Young generation prefers other than farming professions. In such scenario, facing acute shortage of food items in most countries seems quite natural. This problem is becoming more serious day by day. To counter down this global challenge, strip-till and no-till farming like new farming methods are being used by the farmers but numbers of such technique savvy farmers are very few.

Both these farming methods are being used since centuries but the real causes behind the innovation of these methods were largely unknown to concerned masses. Recent research reports that appeared during last couple of decades unearthed many benefits of strip-till and no-till farming. Afterwards, researches are more focused upon proving these benefits in different type of soils and climates. Under stripped-till farming, strips are made throughout the field while under zero-till farming no tillage is done. Both the farming methods deliver the benefits of reduced consumption of water, pesticides and fertilizers. As both the methods need less usage of machinery; hence, these are eco friendly too.

Till now results have been very encouraging. As a result, strip-till and no-till farming methods are being popular among the individual farm land owners. The prime feature of both of these farming techniques is that these can be adapted even for small sized lands. As these are being since centuries, many old age farmers know how to start or do stripped-till or zero-till farming to increase annual yields. Even if someone is new to these terms, he may get the help from numerous agencies available in almost every city. Otherwise, a short online search may crush the geographical barrier; this option is being adopted by thousands of farmers who have facility. Many government aided institutions offer this help free of cost.

The popularity of strip-tillage and no-till farming methods is increasing fast all over the world. However, ultimate benefits depend upon various factors that are varying in nature. Climate, soil properties, nature of crop to be planted, availability of irrigation means, digging equipments and machinery are the major aspects that may affect the actual yield and benefits. If farming with these innovative methods is done in proper way with confidence, it may change the decision of farmers, who are thinking to quit farming.
