For more than a decade, former businessman Wang Luliang has left the corporate world behind to pioneer natural farming in Zhejiang Province on the Chinese mainland. His ambitious experiment champions a chemical-free approach that works in harmony with ecological processes.
Wang’s fields avoid synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, instead relying on the land’s own rhythms to build healthy soil and resilient crops. Over the years, he has expanded from a small trial plot to a full-scale demonstration farm, drawing interest from local growers curious about more sustainable practices.
Visitors to the farm note how diverse plantings and minimal intervention have revitalized the landscape. Pollinators and beneficial insects have returned, and soil structure has improved, pointing to a system that nurtures life rather than fighting it.
Wang believes this model offers a roadmap for the future of agriculture: a return to nature that balances food production with ecosystem health. His decade-long journey in Zhejiang Province reminds us that sometimes, progress means stepping back and letting nature take the lead.
