The practice of natural agriculture focuses on biodiversity preservation and promotes seed conservation.  This approach emphasizes the environment's fundamental characteristics and supports the Satoyama concept that integrates ecological compatibility among landscape and seascape management.

In this session, part of the Oxford Real Farming Conference 2021 programme, Shumei Natural Agriculture presented a virtual tour of natural agriculture farms in Japan, where thousands of farmers cultivate crops using natural seeds without any external inputs. It showed how natural agriculture's practice contributes to the Ramsar Convention on Wetland Conservation to restore many endangered insects and animals and how the next generation of farmers are being engaged through the interconnection between farming, sustainability, and health.
