Modern agriculture has done a lot for food production and global food security. However, it?s also taken a pretty heavy toll on the planet and on people?Soil is worn out, biodiversity is fading, farmers are stuck relying on expensive inputs, and profits aren?t what they used to be. Moreover, more people are starting to worry about how all of this affects human health. A lot of researchers have pointed out that when we only chase higher yields, we tend to ignore the long-term health of soil and the people who work it (Reganold & Wachter, 2016). This is where natural farming comes in. It?s not about turning our backs on science?it?s about shifting the way we farm so we work with nature, not against it. In this article examines natural farming as a whole system. It ties together soil health, the lives of farmers, the environment?s ability to bounce back, and the health of the public. Here is what have been seen in the field, what farmers say, and plain old ecological sense. Natural farming isn?t just another option?it?s a change we need if we want food systems that last. I?ll dig into how farmers actually make the switch, what governments can do to help, and what this all means for the future of farming and society.
