Organic farming and natural farming?
Seems that your question is "what is the difference?" and I'll give you a short answer. Natural farming uses absolutely no chemical or manufactured products including synthetics or "all natural", while some organic standards allow "all natural" but processed fertilizer, weed control, etc. Additionally, natural farming uses the farms own "lay of the land" and resources such as mulch, hillside drainage, etc, while organic farms tend to look more like the agri-business type outfits in scale and operation. Natural, simply put, is just that...Organic has specific do & don't standards that go beyond or below what Mother Nature does with her own crops.
