KNF
Hello, and welcome back brothers and sisters. I do hope that the day finds you well. Spring is in the air, and summer weather is not too far off! Time to get those gardens prepped and ready. I wanted to speak on something I have been meaning to talk about for some time now. Farming is under attack right now globally. The ruling elite do not want people who can provide for themselves. They want everyone dependent on the system so they are easily controlled. The World Economic Forum (who were not appointed by anyone), wants us all to eat bugs and have nothing.
Have you ever heard of Korean Natural Farming (KNF)? If you have not, this is truly an amazing and beneficial means for growth. It has actually been around since the 60’s, but not too many are aware that it exists. It was first made known by Master Han-Kyu Cho, in his book Natural Farming. The main purpose of KNF is to optimize crop yields, by supporting fertile healthy soil, which nurtures the developmental process of plants.
Techniques that promote the growth of naturally-occurring indigenous microorganisms (IMO) in the soil are the backbone of KNF. These microorganisms help produce nutrients to feed the crops we grow. Inputs are central to achieving this indigenous microorganism growth. Those who adopt Korean natural farming methods create inputs for their soil, many of which are fermented. Fortunately, the inputs can be easily made from local materials and cost a fraction of conventional soil amendments such as composts and fertilizers.
In traditional farming, it's common to see farms try to isolate themselves from the natural environment and force their own foreign ecosystem, rather than developing a symbiotic relationship with their surroundings and harnessing the already present beneficial bacteria and fungi. The KNF process not only produces healthy, high-yielding crops, but also improves soil health and structure, as well as attracting earthworms, eliminating harmful agricultural chemicals, and contaminated water run-off.
In other words, Korean Natural Farming represents a genuinely organic, sustainable approach to crop cultivation. One of the most distinctive benefits of KNF is the maintenance of both the soil and the microbes in it. Soil health is critical to crop growth as it regulates the degradation of organic material and nutrient adsorption. More specifically, microbes that live in soil can degrade foreign substances, hold carbon, and protect against crop diseases. Microbial diversity tends to be more prolific in organically farmed soils than those that use conventional cultivation methods. Cultivation systems that rely on chemicals or fertilizers can contribute to soil degradation. Caring for the soil, on the other hand, ensures the soil cares for your plants.
A study in 2019 found that natural farming improved the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil and enriched the microbial community over seven years. Conventional cultivation, in comparison, led to an increased number of plant diseases. Korean natural farming is a method that encourages self-sufficiency, reducing reliance on external inputs such as inorganic pesticides and fertilizers. In many cases, growers can obtain the materials and equipment needed to support IMO directly from their land or source them locally.
KNF is ideal for growers who are dedicated to self-sufficiency, or what is known as a closed-loop system. This approach means you don't run to the store every time you need a supplement for the crop; rather, you create the supplement from what's available. In exchange, KNF requires a relatively labor-intensive process of creating inputs to support soil and plant growth.
If the principles of KNF resonate with you, there are diverse ways you can incorporate the method into your growing regimen. It's vital to point out that KNF is an incredibly sophisticated system — entire books and courses have been written detailing its intricacies and core precepts. Much of its complexity rests on the sheer quantity of organic, home-made inputs designed to meet different growing needs.
That being said, you can approach this method on your own terms and experiment with some of its more fundamental elements.
Home growers can easily start implementing elements of Korean Natural Farming into their everyday practices. It can be a phased approach with potentially the ultimate goal of being fully sustainable.
It is recommended to use soil that hasn't been previously farmed if possible, as it will be plentiful with indigenous microbes. The key is not to be intimidated by the learning curve and approach Korean Natural Farming in baby steps, with the focus being on all of the positive benefits.
Hopefully this helps those who need it. I love you all. I try to provide guidance and tools to assist us on our journeys. We are all connected. We are one. We are love.

The globalist agenda is in full swing. We are strength in numbers. We need each other. Do not be distracted by the look here don’t look here propaganda. Division is how they control us. Fear and dependency is what they want. The more self sufficient we become through knowledge and awareness, the less dependent we are on their rigged system.
