Organic VS. Natural Farming.
                     ORGANIC VS. 
NATURAL FARMING
Natural farming
• Natural farming is a system where the laws of 
nature are applied to agricultural practices. 
• This method works along with the natural 
biodiversity of each farmed area, encouraging 
the complexity of living organisms, both plants, 
and animals that shape each ecosystem to thrive 
along with food plants.

Organic farming
• Organic farming is a technique, which involves 
the cultivation of plants and rearing of animals in 
natural ways. 
• This process involves the use of biological 
materials, avoiding synthetic substances to 
maintain soil fertility and ecological balance 
thereby minimizing pollution and wastage.

Similarities between natural 
farming and organic farming
Chemical free
• Natural and organic both are chemical free and 
poison free farming methods.
• Both systems discourage farmers from using any 
chemical fertilizers, pesticides on plants and in 
all agricultural practices.

Differences between natural 
farming and organic farming
Fertilizers Used
• In organic farming, organic fertilizers and 
manures like compost, vermicompost, cow dung 
manure, etc. are used and added to farmlands 
from external sources.
• In natural farming, neither chemical nor organic 
fertilizers are added to the soil. In fact, no 
external fertilizers are added to soil or give to 
plants whatsoever.

Agro practices
• Organic farming still requires basic agro practices 
like plowing, tilting, mixing of manures, weeding, 
etc. to be performed.
• In natural farming there no plowing, no tilting of 
soil and no fertilizers, and no weeding is done 
just the way it would be in natural ecosystems.

Cost for farming
• Organic farming is still expensive due to the 
requirement of bulk manures, and it has an 
ecological impact on surrounding environments. 
• Whereas, natural agriculture is an extremely 
low-cost farming method, completely molding 
with local biodiversity.
