Through JADAM’s method, farming can become Ultra-Low-Cost, completely organic, and farmers can once again become the masters of farming. When organic farming becomes easy, effective, and inexpensive, it can finally become a practical alternative.
JADAM aims to create Agricultural Revolution with Ultra-Low-Cost agriculture in the world. Our farming has to be Independent of a Commercial monopoly corporation. FARMERS must take the INITIATIVE in agricultural technology.
(Text/Resources) Drake. Korean Natural Farming (KNF) is a modern natural farming practice that merges ancient Eastern sustainability with efficient Western scientific production to result in phenomenal growth in every climate worldwide.
At its core, KNF is a partnership with indigenous soil life and a set of formulas for direct enhancement of plant growth through biostimulants. The aim is to bring fertility through balance and soils rich with life.
KNF practitioners build robust microbial communities resulting in fertile soils, more plant available nutrients, and reenforce natural processes scientifically to complement nature by adjusting and adapting the practices as necessary.
(Free Certification) A DEM Pure certificate is given out to those gardeners that are already on the path of ecological sustainability
and growing of high quality healthy medicine and/or food. Having a DEM Pure cert recognizes that a farmer is utilizing sustainable practices. They are acting as a steward to the land, soil and the plants. A DEM Pure certified farmer is giving back to their community. They are leaders and teachers of beyond organics that uses nature as a guide for their techniques. This certificate is not comparable to any organic certification. It encompasses mindfulness and practices that derive from nature, community building and sharing of ideas and techniques, care taking patients and your workers. It is not meant to comply with any other certificate. It does not require the use of DEM products. It recognizes the highest growing practices for healthy, clean medicine.
(Text) Jeremy Silva. I first learned of Build-a Soil in it’s early days through friends and LOS legends Gas and MGD, as well as introducing me to Bill Mollison’s work. This was the beginnings of what I practice today and BAS has gone on to become a wealth of knowledge for building living organic soils indoors (and out).
About the Build-a-Soil way: The reason we put this system together is for those that want to have a birds eye view of the entire process from start to finish. Many people want to grow naturally and just don't trust that it will work. Some are doing it now but they are missing some key element and it's not coming out quite right. Once you get the full picture and understand how flexible this whole system is you will "get it" and create your own system that works for you and your situation.
The BuildASoil way is to combine premium compost materials with diverse mineral inputs and utilize biology along with science. We want diversity and we want it all in the soil. The nutrients aren't immediately available in the organic system, we will rely on the biology of the soil to naturally produce nutrients for our plants based on it's growing needs. The soil food web is the cornerstone to cultivating plants in a Living Organic Soil System. The soil life is active and healthy and helping to make these nutrients available, and the plants growing on this Living Organic Soil have free-choice of any nutrient they want, in balance, a balance designed by intelligent science and observation. But it doesn't come in a bottle. The other nice thing about Building A Soil for All Natural production indoors, is that you have a blank canvas to work with... you can literally build the best soil possible. While working on large outdoor farms, you have to work with the existing soil and improve it over time.
