Hankyu Cho (Feb. 14, 1935~ Jan. 14, 2025), a pioneer of Natural Farming on Earth, was born in Hwaseong, Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. He started to farm since he was 13 years old from his hometwon in Suwon, South Korea. However, he felt it is not enough of learning about farming from experience, he wanted to learn more about farming from school. So he resumed his studies that had been postponed due to the Korean War[1] by entering Suwon Agricultural High School at the age of 25.[2] He graduated from Suwon Agricultural High School at the late age in 1964. He gave up on going to college because it was different from the farming methods he had learned from the nature, and wanted to learn together with like-minded friends[2] In 1961, he started a rural development movement with Byeong-gyu Kim led by Geongwoo Lee in Hyangnam, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, and develope4d a farm in the Sanan (Yamagishi) style. To ensure the continuation of their collaboration, these three people held a joint wedding ceremony with their respective younger sisters.[3] He visited Japan several times to observe the Japanese rural areas and even the kitchens of consumers[2], and after training in Kasuyama, Japan in 1965, he held his first seminar in 1966 and established the Vitality High Yield Farming Research Association in 1967.
Through this, he researched methods to achieve high yields with minimal labor and without chemical fertilizers. This study led to the establishment of the concept of 'Natural Farming' by Hankyu Cho. Natural Farming respects the fundamental rights of plants and animals, utilizing the forces of nature to restore the environment without chemicals. In 1994, he established a Natural Farming Living School in Cheong-an-myeon, Goesan, Chungbuk, where over 30,000 farmers received education by 2002.[4] Additionally, Jo Han-kyu started publishing an environmental agriculture magazine titled 'Natural Farming,' which is easy for farmers to read[2]. To spread Natural Farming overseas, he traveled to 30 countries, and his methods are known as Korean Natural Farming (KNF) in English-speaking countries. In Japan, the Natural Farming Association was established, and in 1998, Hankyu Cho was selected as 'Person of the Year in Asia,' leading to a documentary feature[4]. He worked hard to propagate Natural Farming in various countries around the world.[5]
