Natural farming is an ecological farming approach that closely mimics natural ecosystems and requires no external inputs. It is a subset of organic farming that incorporates concepts from sustainable agriculture, agroecology, agroforestry, ecoagriculture and permaculture. Agroecology is the study of ecological processes in agricultural systems in order to improve agroecosystems through applied, evidence-based methods examining interactions between crops, plants, humans, animals and the environment. Both natural farming and agroecology aim to enhance agricultural production systems through ecological principles.
![Natural Farming is referred to as the natural way of farming, or do nothing
farming, or the Fukuoka Method. An ecological farming approach introduced
in the 1975 book The One-Straw Revolution by Japanese farmer Masanobu
Fukuoka.
Natural farming is a subset of organic farming that includes concepts and
principles from sustainable agriculture, agroecology, agroforestry,
ecoagriculture and permaculture. Natural farming is a closed system that
demands no external inputs and closely mimics the natural ecosystem
balance [1].

![Agroecology is a branch of scientific inquiry through applied methods. It
studies the ecological processes in agriculture production systems, to
enhance and improve agroecosystems. The field includes experimental
evidence gathering from all forms of agri-production practices [2].
Broadly it is the study of interactions between humans, animals, crops,
plants, and the ecosystem.
