No tillage, no pruning, and no fertilizing are all principles of ✅natural farming



Natural Farming ✅Developed by Masanobu Fukuoka (1913-2008)

-The "natural way of farming" or "do-nothing farming"

products (withdrawn)



-2nd rule: "National List" of allowed synthetic and prohibited natural substances; labeling, certification,
accreditation, enforcement, and testing requirements



The father of biodynamic agriculture ✅Rudolf Steiner



Biodynamic farming ✅• Uses management practices that are intended to "restore,

maintain and enhance ecological harmony."

• Central features include crop diversification, the avoidance of

chemical soil treatments and off-farm inputs generally,

decentralized production and distribution, and the consideration of

celestial and terrestrial influences on biological organisms.

• Biodynamic agriculture differs from many forms of organic

agriculture in its spiritual, mystical, and astrological orientation.

• It shares a spiritual focus, as well as its view toward improving

humanity, with the "nature farming" movement in Japan



Biodynamic Farming Practices ✅• Use of livestock manures to sustain plant growth (recycling of

nutrients).

• Maintenance and improvement of soil quality.

• Health and well being of crops and animals.

• Cover crops, green manures and crop rotations are used

extensively.

• Farms to foster the diversity of plant and animal life, and to

enhance the biological cycles and the biological activity of the soil.
