This is the second session of our hands-on workshop of 2017 Shumei Natural Agriculture learning programme, which consists of 3 sessions of one-day workshop in spring, summer and autumn. This is aimed at farmers/growers and students who wish to try growing food naturally without applying any chemicals, fertilizers and animal manures. In this July session, you will look at the concept of purification and our attitude towards problems such as diseases, pests and weeds. The course consists of lecture/presentation, farm tour and hands-on fieldwork.

By the end of this course you should be able to...

• Describe the key concepts of Shumei Natural Agriculture
• Understand the attitudes towards pests and weeds
• Understand the concept of purification
• Recognise how people’s thoughts would affect plants
