What is Korean Natural Farming?

Korean Natural Farming (KNF) is a modern natural farming practice that merges ancient Eastern sustainability with efficient Western scientific production to result in phenomenal growth in every climate worldwide.

At its core, KNF is a partnership with indigenous soil life and a set of formulas for direct enhancement of plant growth through biostimulants. The aim is to bring fertility through balance and soils rich with life.

KNF practitioners build robust microbial communities resulting in fertile soils, more plant available nutrients, and reenforce natural processes scientifically to complement nature by adjusting and adapting the practices as necessary.
