    Natural farming is an organic agricultural system that advocates working with nature rather than against it. It was developed in the 1930s by Mokichi Okada in Japan and emphasizes producing healthy food while preserving the ecosystem by avoiding chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Key principles of natural farming include allowing the earth to cultivate itself naturally with minimal human intervention, and using indigenous microorganisms and natural materials to fertilize soils and grow crops.

    The passage discusses the principles and methods of nature farming and natural farming, which aim to produce healthy foods while preserving ecosystems through farming with minimal human intervention and without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

    Some principles of nature farming discussed are advocating for soil quality as the basis for healthy crops and people, and producing foods through farming with nature.

    Mokichi Okada established 'Nature Farming' in 1936 and was a strong advocate of 'No fertilizer farming'. He believed that farming with nature could produce healthy foods while preserving ecosystems. Masanobu Fukuoka also started 'Do nothing Agriculture' which aimed to integrate farming into nature and allow everything to take its natural course with minimal human intervention.

    PRINCIPLES OF

    NATURE FARMING

    ORGANIC AGRICULTURE

     The term organic agriculture has evolved from


    various concepts like
     Nature Farming
     Biodynamics
     Permaculture
    Both systems of organic
    agriculture and nature
    farming (NF) advocate soil
    quality as the fundamental
    basis for healthy crops and
    healthy people.
    MOKICHI OKADA
    ( 1882-1955)
     Established “Nature
    Farming” in 1936
     Strong advocate of “No
    fertilizer farming”
     Believes that farming
    with nature can produce
    healthy foods while
    preserving the
    ecosystem
    Okada’s Theory
     Fertilizers
    pollute the soil and weaken its
    power of production.
     Pests would breakout from the excessive
    use of fertilizers.
     Vegetables and fruits produced by nature
    farming taste better than those by
    chemical farming.
     Fertilizer poisons exist at various levels.
    MASANOBU FOKUOKA
    (1913-2008)
     In1947, started “Do
    nothing Agriculture”
     Integrate farming into
    nature everything should
    be allowed to take its
    natural course
     Create food-producing
    environment with less
    human intervention as
    possible
    Fokuoka’s Principles
     Let the earth cultivate itself naturally.
     No chemical fertilizers or prepared compost
     No weeding (tillage / herbicide)
     No use of chemical pesticides
     No pruning
    Dr. CHO HAN KYU
     Founded Korean Natural
    Farming (KNF) in 1960
     takes advantage of
    indigenous
    microorganisms (IMO) (
    bacteria, fungi, 
    nematodes and protozoa
    ) to produce fertile soils
    that yield high output
    without the use
    of herbicides or pesticide
    s.
    DR. CHO’S PRINCIPLES
     Nutritive Cycle Theory
    a. Vegetative Growth
    b. Flowering Stage
    c. Fruiting Stage
     Effective Microorganisms
     No tillage
    Natural Farming
    Philosophy
     Environment-friendly
     NaturalFarming makes all inputs
    from natural materials

     Respect for Life


     NaturalFarming respects life. It
    opposes human exploitation on
    life.
     Crops and livestock reared by
    Natural Farming are very healthy.
    Natural Farming
    Philosophy
     High Quality
     NaturalFarming products have
    high quality, good taste and
    better yield.
    Natural Farming Methods

     NO PESTICIDES
    Pesticides do not only kill
    insects they reside in the soil
    and fruit.
    use aroma (attracts or repel)
    and poisonous plants, etc.
    Natural Farming Methods

     NO HERBICIDES
     uses the weeds instead of killing them
     grow grass between fruit trees - it
    suppress grass growth, holds
    moisture, prevents soil erosion,
    produces organic fertilizer
     No TILLAGE
     let the earthworms, microorganisms
    and small animals till the soil
    Natural Farming Methods

     NO CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS
    instead use the Natural Farm
    Inputs (NFIs) which is
    formulated at the farm level
    with materials which is found
    only in the locality.
    cheap but highly effective
    Natural Farming Methods

     NO POLLUTION
     Animal waste falls directly to the
    floor where it is quickly
    decomposed by microorganisms.
     Flooringis not concrete - rice
    straw, sawdust and soil are used
     Natural
    Faming animal housings do
    not smell
    Natural Farming Methods

     NO ARTIFICIAL HEATING
    develop the animal’s natural
    resistance against cold
    instead of consuming fossil
    fuel or electricity for artificial
    heating
     Natural
    Farm Inputs/Feeds are
    made by farmers
    Natural Farming Methods

     Nutritive Cycle Theory


    Natural Farming emphasizes
    the right use of the right
    material, at the right stage, in
    the right quantity.
    Natural Farming Inputs

     Indigenous Microorganism (IMO)
     Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ)
     Fermented Fruit Juice (FFJ)
     Fermented Rice Bran (FRB)
