Nature Farming

A farming methodology grown out of an Asian philosophy that rests on a belief in the universal life-giving powers that the elements of fire, water and earth confer on the soil.  Practices focus on analyzing and building soil through composting, green manuring, mulch, and various other soil management techniques. Similar in many ways to organic farming, nature farming is most commonly practiced in the Pacific Rim countries of Asia and North America.
