LYD ORGANIC
Agriculture that Goes Beyond Organic & Ecological Agriculture
LYD Organic is a purpose-built farming eco-system in Bedugul, Bali that is built on the foundations of organic permaculture farming. This provides us with a soil rich in biodiversity and minerals, including volcanic Bali soil that is said to improve diet and health. The life and microbiology of the soil is in charge of solubilizing the minerals and giving – through the root – the minerals and nutrients of the plant. In agriculture with chemicals, these kill all life and microbiology of the soil, it is an inert soil without life. In addition to not using synthetic products, it seeks the regeneration of the soil and natural dynamics to recover the fertility and recover the life of all the natural resources that intervene in natural and sustainable agricultural production. The mobilization of minerals in the soil and the presence of greater diversity of these, the greater the amount of organic matter and the higher level of microbial activity are for an essential complement to organic agriculture. Proper management helps us to increase the fertility of the soil and to improve the nutrition and health of plants and people.

THE METHODS OF LYD ORGANIC
• Increase soil organic carbon and leverage synergies with livestock when possible
• Use biofertilizers and fermented organic fertilizers like bokashi, made in-house with microorganisms from local forest soil and minerals from Bali volcanoes to nourish plants and boost immunity
• Apply mineral broths to nourish plants and control pests and diseases
• Implement constant crop rotations and beneficial plant associations, adhering to permaculture principles and avoiding single-crop designs
