Underlying
Natural Agriculture is a profound reverence for Nature and
its practice is guided entirely by the intrinsic wisdom
of Nature. Mokichi Okada, who developed Natural Agriculture,
envisioned it as not only a means of cultivating pure and
wholesome food but as an art and spiritual practice. As
an agricultural method it relies on understanding the subtle
physical relationships and spiritual bonds that exist among
all the elements involved in the cultivation of food: the
earth, sun, rain, wind, the farmer, the people who eat the
food, and the society in which they live. And its purpose
is to foster the health and wellbeing of all these elements.
