A day of talks in Seoul, then two days on the farms. 23 talks, three languages. Master Cho's students from ten countries showed what natural farming did on their fields, from Afghan potatoes to Hawaiian macadamias. Every talk is translated, checked line by line, and boiled down to what was tested and what happened.

Five Kinds of Stone and a Drop: Gokseong's Mineral Water

The group's first stop in Gokseong was the county's own natural farming center. Staff showed a mineral-water system: water is pumped up and dropped onto five kinds of stone in a tank, which the guide says adds minerals and oxygen, and a small bag of Microbes (IMO4) adds microbes too. Outside, the county's return-to-farm support center and the start date of its natural farming teaching, 2009, were explained.
