- Organic: certified, with records and inspections.
- Natural farming: farm-made inputs, often no certificate.
- Both take time to rebuild soil.
Farmers often hear both words used for the same thing, but the rules are different.
Talk to buyers before you switch: some pay more only for certified produce.
