In many ways, agriculture differs from the other major
sectors of the economy like industry and commerce. There
are some agricultural activities which are beyond control.
For instance, it is not possible to predict agricultural output
with exact accuracy. The reason is very simple. Natural
calamities such as typhoons and floods can easily reduce or
wipe out even the most scientifically projected harvest.
Farmers can only perhaps minimize to a certain extent the
damage on their crops but certainly they cannot avoid the
disastrous effects of natural calamities.

• Natural Farming is a chemical-free alias traditional
farming method. It is considered as agroecology based
diversified farming system which integrates crops, trees
and livestock with functional biodiversity.
What do you mean by nature farming?

This is a form of agriculture whereby food production has no or
minimal detrimental effects on soil, water and air quality,
biodiversity, landscape elements and the climate. In addition
maximum use is made of services provided by nature itself, such as
natural pest control, pollination and soil fertility.

• "Nature Farming" was established in 1936 by Mokichi Okada, the founder of the Church of World
Messianity, an agricultural system originally called "no fertilizer farming" , shizen nōhō).
• Offshoots such as the Sekai Kyusei Kyo, promoting ‘Kyusei nature farming’, and the Mokichi Okada
Association formed after his death to continue promoting the work in Japan and South-East Asia
• ZZ2, a farming conglomerate in South Africa has translated the term to Afrikaans, "Natuurboerdery".
• According to the International Nature Farming Research Center in Nagano, Japan, it is based on the
theories that:
• Fertilizers pollute the soil and weaken its power of production.
• Pests would break out from the excessive use of fertilizers
• The difference in disease incidence between resistant and susceptible plants is attributed to nutritional
conditions inside the body.
• Vegetables and fruits produced by nature farming taste better than those by chemical farming.

Natural Farming is a sustainable farming. Natural farming makes all
inputs from natural materials, observes the law of the nature and
respects the rights of crops and livestock.

• Natural Farming heals the soil slashed by chemicals, herbicide and
machines. Where Natural Farming is practiced, the soil and water
become clean and ecology is recovered. It is even being used as a
tool to fight desertification.

Natural Farming respects life. It opposes human exploitation on life.
Ironical it may sound; respecting the nature of the life is the best
way to achieve top quality and yield. We prevent disease rather
than curing with medicines. We rear healthy animals rather than
feeding them hormones and antibiotics. Crops and livestock reared
by Natural Farming are very healthy. They have almost no disease
and show especially strong resistance to climatic fluctuation.
Natural Farming orchards in Korea were least damaged by the
notorious typhoon that slashed other farms.

• Natural Farming products have high quality, good taste and better yield. People commonly think that by
converting to organic farming will have smaller yields, lower quality and smaller-sized fruits. In natural
farming it is the opposite. It do not go back to the past; we take a leap into the future
• Natural farming products have much higher nutritional contents. Protein, amino acid, crude fat and other
essential nutrient were identified to be as much as 300 percent higher than ordinary products. Chemical
residue such as nitrate is almost undetectable.

No Pesticide
• Natural Farming does not use pesticide. Pesticides do not only kill insects; they reside in
the soil and fruit. When absorbed, it can do serious harm to our bodies and even our
next generations.
• Instead of using toxic chemicals, we use light. Alcohol, aroma, poisonous plant and so
forth to control pests. More surprisingly, an ecology that recovered the natural balance
will drop in the pests and disease occurrence. Natural farming does precisely that.
• Because we do not use colorants, our fruits can have some natural stripes, spots or insect
bites. This is the proof of zero chemical. Most of our farmers are certified by the
government as low or zero pesticide.
Natural Farming Methods

• No Herbicide
Natural Farming does not use herbicide. Killing the weeds with chemical is not the
only solution nor is it wise. Herbicide is lethal to human. How can it only kill the weeds.
Natural Farming uses the weeds rather than killing them. We actually grow the wild grass
such as rye and clover for mulching. Natural Farming orchards are green with grass
growing between the fruit trees. The grass prevents soil erosion, holds moisture,
propagates microorganism produces organic fertilizer, improves soil ventilation and
suppresses the pests.
• No Tillage
Natural Farming does not till the land. Instead of using machines. They use
earthworms, microorganisms and small animals. Machine can plow 20 centimeters at best,
whereas earthworms will dig 7 meters. The excretions of earthworms turn into the best
soil. 11

• No Chemical Fertilizer
Natural farming does not use chemical fertilizer. Nor does it follow the common practice of applying
over half of the fertilizer as base manure. Crops will become weak if given too much food at early stage.
nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium and all other elements that would be commonly given in
the form of chemical fertilizer are substituted with natural farming inputs. Fish amino acid provides
nitrogen, eggshells give calcium. Animal bones are source of phosphoric acid. Our natural farming inputs are
not only cheap but highly effective
• No Pollution
Natural Farming animal houses do not emit any wastewater. There is no need to install an expensive
treatment machine. All the treatment is done right on the floor itself
As soon as feces fall on the floor, it is quickly decomposed by the powerful microorganisms. Floor is
not made from concrete, it is touching the soil; it is alive. Rice straw, sawdust fresh soil are used for flooring.
Utilizing the natural powers like the sun, wind and microorganism, the floor is always dry and fluffy. It is a
common sight to see a natural farming animal houses right beside a human house.

There are several kinds of farming systems now practiced in
the world. They are intensive farming or intensive
agriculture, comprehensive agriculture, ecological
agriculture, controlled agriculture, organic farming or
organic agriculture, and nature farming.
NATURE OF FARMING

Intensive farming focuses on investing a lot of resources and labor
into small tracts of land in order to increase yield. Extensive
agriculture, on the other hand, employs larger tracts of land and
lower quantities of labor and resources.
Pasture intensification is the increase in value and production that
occurs due to inputs such as money, labor, and pesticides,
specifically in the pastures on which farmed animals graze.
Historians believe that pasture intensification, and agricultural
intensification more broadly, was a necessary step in creating the
modern societies we have today, as new methods of farming and
increasing yield allowed for larger populations to grow.
Intensive farming

It is based on the idea that the soil is a living system so these
synthetic products are largely excluded from organic farms.
Organic agriculture relies on crop rotation, animal
manures, crop residues, green manures and the biological
control of pests and diseases to maintain soil health and
productivity.
Comprehensive agriculture

Ecological Agriculture is a type of agriculture that focuses on the fact
that its actions do not have a negative impact on the environment or
on animals. It produces products of the highest quality for those
who decide to consume them.
Ecological agriculture
16

17. Your Logo or Name Here
A combination of engineering, plant science, and computer
managed greenhouse control technologies used to optimize plant
growing systems, plant quality, and production efficiency.
Controlled agriculture
17

18. Your Logo or Name Here
Agricultural system that uses ecologically based pest controls and
biological fertilizers derived largely from animal and plant wastes
and nitrogen-fixing cover crops.
Organic farming

19. Your Logo or Name Here
The Principles of Health, Ecology, Fairness, and care are the roots
from which organic agriculture grows and develops. They express
the contribution that organic agriculture can make to the world,
and a vision to improve all agriculture in a global context.
