Natural farming is one of the best ways to increase your profits and sustainability
Korean Natural Farming (KNF) and JADAM are two agricultural practices that promote sustainable farming methods and improve soil health. These methods emphasize using natural inputs and microbial diversity to support plant growth instead of relying on chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
KNF was developed in South Korea in the 1960s by Han Kyu Cho. It is based on cultivating and utilizing indigenous microorganisms (IMOs) to promote soil health and fertility. The method involves creating a natural, nutrient-rich soil environment by using techniques such as composting, fermenting plant matter, and introducing beneficial microorganisms.
JADAM, on the other hand, is an updated system developed by a South Korean farmer named Youngsang Cho (son of Han Kyu Cho) in the 1990s. This method extends KNF and focuses on making natural farming more accessible and affordable for small-scale farmers. JADAM uses locally sourced plant materials, such as leaves and stems, to create natural fertilizers and pesticides. The method also emphasizes using a range of raw inputs and techniques to create a self-sustaining farm system.
By practicing KNF and JADAM methods, farmers can reduce their reliance on expensive inputs like chemical fertilizers and pesticides. These practices can also improve soil health and increase biodiversity on the farm. Ultimately, this can lead to better yields, healthier crops, and more sustainable farming practices.
We will be documenting our journey of practicing KNF and JADAM in our garden in Canada on this website. We can share our experience with others interested in adopting these methods. We hope to contribute to a growing community of farmers interested in sustainable and natural farming practices. The website will be updated regularly, so keep checking in and learn with us!
