The idea of Natural Farming
You may often hear the word ”Natural Farming” nowadays. This ”Akame Shizennojuku” is run by Yoshikazu Kawaguchi who is the leading person of this method.
Currently, there is no strict definition of Natural Farming yet, but Akame Shizen Juku works on the basic idea of ”no tilling, no fertilizers and pesticide, do not treat weed and insect as the enemy”, and this method is called ”Natural Farming”. When you let the cycle of living things back to nature, you will get the best crops. Bases on the idea that permanent farming is possible if you observe the cycle of nature and they practice the cultivation method that requires minimum human help observing the vitality of the crop, and adjusting to the climate and soil of the land.
Kawaguchi switched to natural agriculture after he himself became ill due to the pesticide. By looking at his own life and nature, he came to the conclusion of Natural Farming.
