Korean Natural Farming: Exploring the Teachings of Master Cho

In the realm of sustainable and regenerative farming practices, Korean Natural Farming (KNF) stands out as a transformative methodology. Developed by the visionary farmer and educator, Master Cho Han-Kyu, KNF focuses on harnessing the power of indigenous microorganisms and natural resources to create thriving, self-sustaining ecosystems. Master Cho’s teachings have revolutionized agriculture by offering a holistic approach that prioritizes balance, harmony, and simplicity.

At the heart of KNF is the belief that healthy soil is the foundation of robust plant growth and overall ecosystem vitality. Master Cho emphasizes cultivating and nurturing native microorganisms, known as “indigenous microorganisms” or IMOs. These beneficial microbes are essential for enhancing soil fertility, suppressing pathogens, and promoting plant health. The process of cultivating IMOs involves collecting diverse natural ingredients, such as rice bran, fruits, and herbs, and fermenting them to create a microbe-rich solution.
