Jadam. What is Jadam? Jadam is short for Jayonul Damun Saramdul which means people who are like nature or follow the wisdom of nature. Before, farmers produced their seeds, seedlings, fertilizers, pesticides, all inputs needed in the farm. Nowadays farmers buy practically all the inputs in the farm.

We are fortunate that Youngsang Cho, his wife Son and son Rabi did a Philippine Jadam tour this February encompassing Luzon (Antipolo, Isabela), Visayas (Cebu), Mindanao (Davao, Bislig, Zamboanga). Andry Lim (Secretary of Agriculture awardee for Outstanding Organic Agriculture in 2009) and his wife Joji joined them in the tour.
Andry has been teaching Natural Farming for years now, and learned from Master Han-kyu Cho, the master of Korean Natural farming, and the father of Youngsang. Youngsang studied agriculture for 30 years and introduced Jadam. It is so simple and easy and effective that anybody can follow it. I find it so mind boggling that we have the resource right in our farm and garden and have even looked at them as wastes (egg shells, animal bones, fish waste)all these years.
