Hawaii Natural Farmers
Natural farming - increase soil fertility with local microbes and utilizes natural resources made locally by farmers themselves with natural farm by-products aided by locally available indigenous micro-organisms.
Natural Farming results in superior agricultural products with the high productivity and minimum cost and labor by maximizing nature’s potential.
- Natural Farming farmers produce their own agricultural resources/material easily with natural resources and agro-livestock by-products from the farm.
- Natural Farming encourages the combined agriculture and livestock farm to cross-utilize the by-products to make the animal feed and natural fertilizers. Natural Farming principles and technology has already been established for livestock farming as well as for crops.
