Difference between Natural farming and Organic farming

Natural farming vs. Organic farming

Natural farming is an ecological farming approach established by Masanobu Fukuoka (1913–2008), a Japanese farmer and philosopher, introduced in his 1975 book The One-Straw Revolution. Organic farming is an alternative agricultural system which originated early in the 20th century in reaction to rapidly changing farming practices.
