Organic Agricolture: The Aigamo Method
An ancient natural method for growing rice directly from Japan.
This type of organic farming does not use pesticides and chemical fertilizers but fights the presence of insects and weeds in the rice fields by raising ducks and fish.
In short, a natural method for not using chemistry.
Animals swim freely among the seedlings of rice but do not damage them, rather they feed on insects and seeds of weeds: in this way they allow us not to use pesticides and herbicides.
Also the fertilizing method is completely natural, because the droppings of the ducks are reused.
Once the rice is grown, the farmers allocate ducks and fish for food use. This represents, for us at VegON, the only flaw of this agricultural practice.
