THE PUNCH SUPPLIERS
LYD Organic: Going 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 VISION OF LYD ORGANIC
- Seek to maintain natural balances, integrating our crops in a sustainable way.
- Guarantee respect for nature and sustainability in its three aspects- environmental, social and economic .
- Produce healthy foods, with higher nutritional value, higher organoleptic value and without chemical residues of any kind.
- Continually train, use science at our fingertips, and learn from our own experience. But we also draw on traditional knowledge, which is one of our main sources of learning.
THE METHOD OF LYD ORGANIC
- Increase the level of organic carbon in the soil, and we take advantage of synergies with livestock when possible.
- Use biofertilizers and fermented organic fertilizers – bokashi type, of our own elaboration. These products enrich the soil with microorganisms (from nearby forest soil) and with minerals from the Bali volcanoes that nourish the plants and strengthen their immunity.
- Apply mineral broths, which also nourish and help prevent and control pests and diseases.
- Constant crop rotations with different needs (for nutrients, minerals, soil depth, etc.) and plant associations that benefit each other, the foundation of permaculture (non single-crop design).
