The Academy of Natural farming is first of its kind establised near Kollegal taluk in the state of Karnataka in India with the sole aim of bringing awareness on the illeffects of fertilizers and the benefits of reverting back to Nature.

Leading nature activist Kailash Murthy, influenced by Fukuoka's philosophy and the pragmatic approach of Prof. M D Nanjundaswamy is relentlessly working for popularizing Zero input farming in and around Karanataka State.

The farm house is noted for being Nature's Research Laboratory for students, teachers, scientists and agriculturists. The nature lab is also called as a mini forest with 3000 varieties of various species.

The academy of natural farming is a source of inspiration for many visitors and a platform for nature farmers to exchange ideas. The near by organic farmers too are regular visitors to the academy to share their experience with the young and the old.
