Farm491 partners with Mycoharmonics to bring Korean natural farming course to the United Kingdom
Farm491 is delighted to announce a new partnership with Mycoharmonics to deliver Foundations for Farming with Nature, an immersive five-day course exploring Korean Natural Farming (KNF), living soil systems and the power of indigenous microorganisms.
Mycoharmonics is an education organisation dedicated to helping farmers build healthier, more independent farms. It shares knowledge that empowers farmers to rely less on external inputs and more on the biology already present on their land.
Taking place at the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester from 16 to 20 October 2026, the course will provide participants with a hands-on introduction to practical methods that can help build healthier soils, reduce reliance on external inputs and support more resilient farming systems.
Designed for farmers, growers and land managers, the course combines theory and field-based learning. Participants will explore soil ecology, nutrient cycling and the role of microorganisms in supporting plant health, while also learning how to collect and cultivate indigenous microorganisms and create a range of KNF preparations using natural materials.
Delivered by certified KNF instructors, including Mycoharmonics founder Lapo Fiorenzato, the course focuses on understanding soil as a living system and offers practical techniques that attendees can apply in their own farming operations. The aim is to help producers work more closely with natural processes, supporting long-term soil fertility and resilience.
The partnership reflects Farm491’s commitment to bringing innovative ideas, research and practical skills to the agritech and farming community. By hosting this course, Farm491 is creating an opportunity for individuals interested in regenerative agriculture and biological approaches to land management to learn directly from experienced practitioners.
Whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of soil health, explore alternatives to conventional inputs, or gain hands-on experience with Korean Natural Farming techniques, Foundations for Farming with Nature offers a unique opportunity to learn in a collaborative environment alongside other forward-thinking farmers and growers.
