Autophagy
Categories: Agriculture, Food, health, KNF (Korean Natural Farming), Cellular biology
Autophagy is how living cells clean up their own mess. Cells break down and recycle old, damaged, or extra parts they don’t need anymore. Think of it like spring cleaning at a microscopic level to keep cells healthy and working right.
Auxin
Categories: Agriculture, Food, health, KNF (Korean Natural Farming), Fermentation
Auxin is a natural chemical in plants that helps them grow. It tells the plant how to stretch, where to grow roots, and how to bend toward sunlight. You can think of it as a “growth signal” that helps plants know what to do.
Rhizophagy
Categories: Agriculture, Soil Health, Microbiology, KNF
Rhizophagy is a natural process where plant roots pull in certain microbes from the soil and sort of “digest” them to get nutrients. It’s like the plant is farming tiny soil creatures to feed itself.
